Justin Herbert and Madison Beer have taken their relationship to the next level.
The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback and the pop singer announced their engagement on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing the news with a set of photos that showed the couple kissing, hugging and smiling together. Beer revealed the moment with the caption, “Meet my fiance.” One of the images also showed the engagement ring on her left hand.
The announcement comes nearly a year after the two first started dating. People first began noticing Herbert and Beer together in August 2025, when photographers spotted Herbert visiting Beer while she was working on a photoshoot or music video in Los Angeles.
The two were seen chatting and laughing on set before leaving together. A few days later, they were photographed heading to a friend’s house in Redondo Beach.
As the months went on, the pair became more public. In September 2025, photographers caught them holding hands during casual outings. Then in October, cameras saw them sharing several kisses on the sidelines of SoFi Stadium before the Chargers’ game against the Washington Commanders.
From there, Herbert and Beer kept showing up together at Lakers games, a World Series game, Chargers Halloween events and other public outings.
Herbert, who is usually pretty private, did open up about the relationship this year. For Beer’s birthday in March 2026, he posted a sweet 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 her “lovergirl” music video, where they simply hung out at the beach and played cards.
Beer has also been open about what she wants when it comes to marriage. She said she wanted a traditional engagement ring because she was “basic with certain things” with certain romantic traditions. She also praised Herbert for supporting her career, including showing up for her Locket Tour and her headline performance at the Kia Forum.
Now, with the engagement official, Herbert will turn his attention to his seventh NFL season with the Chargers.

Steelers Just Lost A Quarterback Safety Net Behind Aaron Rodgers
The Steelers had been keeping an eye on Cooper Rush as a possible fallback behind Aaron Rodgers, especially with Mike McCarthys old Dallas connection making him a familiar name in the building. Rush had long looked like the kind of steady veteran who could fit as a practice squad insurance policy if Pittsburgh decided to move on from Mason Rudolph, giving the team a little more certainty in a quarterback room that already had some uncertainty built into it.
Now that option is off the board, and the Steelers are left sorting through a depth chart that still includes Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar behind Rodgers. Rudolph remains the only other quarterback on the roster with game experience, which makes the next roster decision more important than it might have seemed a week ago, especially if the team wants a more proven hand waiting in the wings during cutdown season.

Steelers Camp Decision Is Raising Eyebrows For One Frustrating Reason
The Steelers are heading into training camp with a familiar defensive concern hanging over them, even as the methods around it change. After a season in which missed tackles became a recurring issue, the coaching staff is expected to lean on non-contact teaching to clean up fundamentals, using drills and equipment rather than full-speed collisions to sharpen pursuit angles, wrapping up and the decision of when to go low or high.
For a team that prides itself on physical defense, the choice is drawing attention because the problem it is trying to solve is one that usually gets addressed best in live action. Pittsburgh will get plenty of work on technique, but the real question is whether those reps can translate once the pads come on and the games start counting. [Read more 🡒]
Steelers Camp Already Has Fans Watching One Situation Very Closely
The first days of Steelers training camp have already put a familiar pressure point in view, with Joey Porter Jr. opening on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list as the team settles into a new camp routine under Mike McCarthy. Porters status is being treated as precautionary rather than a major setback, but it is still the kind of early-summer note that gets attention in Pittsburgh, especially with Jalen Ramsey and Donte Kent also on the PUP list and the roster battles beginning to take shape around them.
There is a broader backdrop to all of it, too, with the Steelers limiting tackling in camp and trying to manage bodies carefully while the competition ramps up. Aaron Rodgers has also become part of the daily camp conversation, rooming with D.K. Metcalf as the new-look offense takes form, while Kents path looks especially difficult from a roster standpoint. For a team trying to balance health, evaluation, and urgency, the status of the secondary is one of the first things worth watching closely. [Read more 🡒]
