Justin Herbert and Madison Beer have taken a big step in their relationship, announcing their engagement on Instagram on Tuesday.
Beer shared the news with a set of four photos showing the couple kissing, hugging and smiling together. One of the pictures also showed the engagement ring on Beer’s left hand. She kept the caption simple: “Meet my fiance.”
The announcement comes nearly a year after the two first began dating. People first started noticing Herbert and Beer together in August 2025, when photographers saw Herbert visiting Beer while she was working on a photoshoot or music video in Los Angeles.
The two were chatting and laughing on set before leaving together. A few days later, they were spotted heading to a friend’s house in Redondo Beach.
Their relationship became more public as the months went on. In September 2025, photographers caught them holding hands during casual outings.
A month later, cameras showed them sharing several kisses on the sidelines of SoFi Stadium before the Chargers’ game against the Washington Commanders. After that, Herbert and Beer were seen at Lakers games, a World Series game, Chargers Halloween events and other public outings.
Herbert, who is usually pretty private, did offer a glimpse into the relationship this year. For Beer’s birthday in March 2026, he posted an Instagram story calling her his “favorite person” and saying he was the “luckiest guy alive.” Beer responded that it was her “dream come true.”
The couple made things Instagram official in April 2026, and Herbert even appeared in Beer’s “lovergirl” music video, where they spent time at the beach and played cards.
Beer has also spoken before about wanting a traditional engagement ring, saying she was “basic with certain things” with certain romantic traditions. She has praised Herbert for backing her career, including showing up for her Locket Tour and her headline performance at the Kia Forum.
Herbert will now turn his attention to his seventh NFL season with the Chargers.

Chargers Already Seem Done With This Risky Camp Gamble
Ben Clevelands short stay with the Chargers never got off the ground, and the reasons why were never hard to miss. The guard arrived in Los Angeles with a history that already carried plenty of baggage, then found himself back in the news after an arrest in Georgia tied to speeding and an alleged violation of conditions related to a limited driving permit.
For a team trying to sort out its camp roster, Cleveland represented the kind of gamble that can look manageable on paper and far less so once the off-field concerns start piling up. He was a former Ravens draft pick who had not yet played a snap for the Chargers, and his background has included a DUI arrest, a suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy, and a divorce filing that cited adultery claims his wife denied.

Chargers Enter Camp With Everything Riding On Justin Herbert Now
Training camp opens July 29 with a different look around Justin Herbert, and the Chargers are leaning into it. Jim Harbaugh and Herbert are entering their third season together, and the roster around them has been reshaped with new offensive help and a fresh voice calling plays, all in service of getting the offense to match the ambition the franchise has been selling since Harbaugh arrived.
ESPN analyst Kris Rhim framed the moment as one loaded with urgency, and it is easy to see why. Los Angeles has added pieces that should matter right away, from help at tight end to the return of both tackles, while the defense also has a new coordinator in Chris O'Leary. For Herbert, though, the conversation keeps circling back to what the Chargers have not yet done under this regime, and camp now begins with the expectation that the next step has to be the one that changes everything.
