Justin Herbert and Madison Beer have taken a major step in their relationship, announcing their engagement on Instagram on Tuesday.
Beer shared the news with a post captioned, “Meet my fiance.” The set included four photos of the couple kissing, hugging, and smiling together, and one image showed the engagement ring on Beer’s left hand.
The announcement comes nearly a year after the two first began dating. People first noticed 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 in the months that followed. In September 2025, photographers captured them holding hands during casual outings. A month later, they were seen sharing several kisses on the sidelines of SoFi Stadium before the Chargers’ game against the Washington Commanders.
Since then, Herbert and Beer have appeared together at Lakers games, a World Series game, Chargers Halloween events, and other public outings.
Though Herbert is usually private, he opened up about 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 replied that it was her “dream come true.”
The couple made things Instagram official in April 2026, and Herbert also appeared in her “lovergirl” music video, where they spent time at the beach and played cards.
Beer has previously spoken about marriage, saying she wanted a traditional engagement ring because she was “basic with certain things” with certain romantic traditions. She has also credited Herbert with supporting her career, including attending 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.

Blazers Draft Pick Is Creating A Roster Problem Fans Know Too Well
Portlands decision to take Yang Hansen with the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft brought a familiar kind of roster headache into focus, the sort that has followed the club before when the balance of the roster starts to tilt in one direction. The Blazers already have a lineup that leans heavily toward point guards and centers, which makes every move feel like it comes with a tradeoff somewhere else on the floor.
Hansen is being viewed as a multi-year project, and at least for now, the path in front of him points toward a backup center role. That leaves Portland trying to sort out both the present and the future at the same position, with no clean answer yet on how the rookie fits into the bigger picture or how long it will take before his development stops being a question and starts becoming a solution.

Blazers Still Have One Roster Problem They Cannot Ignore
The Trail Blazers are already looking at the next roster fix after reshaping the backcourt around Ja Morant, and the issue is pretty clear: the talent is there, but the fit still needs work. Portland has been exploring ways to add more size and two-way balance on the wing and in the frontcourt, with the kind of trade chatter that usually follows a major move and forces a front office to keep recalibrating.
Among the names tied to that search are P.J. Washington, Trey Murphy III, Peyton Watson, Michael Porter Jr. and Max Strus, a mix that shows how broad Portlands options could be if it decides to chase help rather than wait for internal development. Some of those paths are more realistic than others, and the Blazers interest in certain targets has shifted as the market and their own roster picture have changed, leaving the team with a familiar question: which kind of upgrade actually solves the problem without creating a new one?

Micah Potter Is Already Feeling Pressure In Portland
Micah Potters arrival in Portland came after the Trail Blazers claimed him off waivers from Indiana, but the move did not come with any sense of long-term security. The big man is stepping into a roster spot that is already under scrutiny, and the Blazers are clearly treating the back end of the roster like an open competition rather than a finished product.
For Potter, the pressure is immediate because Portland is bringing in other players who can push for the same job, and his path to sticking will be tied to what he does when he gets on the floor. If he cannot carve out a real role, the Blazers have plenty of incentive to keep sorting through options, which leaves Potter in a spot where every practice and every minute matters. [Read more 🡒]
