\n\tJames Hetfield pulled off a proposal for the ages last week. The Metallica<\/a> frontman popped the question to girlfriend Adriana Gillett on Friday (March 13) during a scuba diving excursion. Hetfield, 62, shared a snap<\/a> from the special moment on Metallica\u2019s Instagram, which featured an image of the singer\/guitarist underwater in a mask and scuba gear holding up a sign reading: \u201cAdriana Gillett Will You Marry Me?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFloating next to him in the clear blue water was fashion designer Gillett, 45, holding up the ring box and making a thumbs-up with her left hand. The caption? \u201cShe said yes!\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tGillett also shared the good news on her Instagram, reposting the same pic and writing<\/a>, \u201cThe BEST birthday trip surprise \ud83c\udf89Swimming with whale sharks on Friday the 13th \ud83d\udc40 with the most unique, special, and romantic proposal a Pisces could ever imagine \ud83d\udc8d In a sea full of fish, we caught each other \ud83e\ude75 Thank you God for putting us together \ud83d\udc0b\ud83e\udd88.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHetfield filed for divorce<\/a> from his wife of 25 years, costume designer Francesca Tomasi, in 2022, with whom he shared two daughters, Cali, 27 and Marcella, 24, and a son, Castor, 25. The Metallica frontman and London native Gillett reportedly began dating in 2023.<\/p>\n \n\tThe happy couple will have a few months to enjoy newlywed status before Metallica cranks up their three-year-old M72 world tour again on May 9 with a show at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, followed by a May 13 show in Bucharest, Romania and a May 19 stop in Chrozow, Poland. After the summer run of European and U.K. dates, Metallica will kick off their 24-show run<\/a> at Las Vegas\u2019 Sphere on Oct. 1.<\/p>\n
