EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — — Justin Herbert has his first ring, and it’s not on the football field.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Madison Beer announced their engagement in an Instagram post on Tuesday. It was accompanied by a photograph of Herbert on one knee holding a ring box in front of a smiling Beer, who was perched with her right hand on his left knee. The caption read: “Meet my fiancé.”
These included congratulatory responses from the NFL and Chargers, as well as singer Gracie Abrams.

The pair were first spotted together last August. Bear attended a few Chargers games last season, and she and Herbert kissed on the sidelines at one game. They have also appeared at Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers games.
Herbert appeared in Beer’s “lovergirl” video this spring.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has been supportive of the quarterback’s relationship. When Herbert missed part of her voluntary offseason workouts to travel with Bear on tour, Harbaugh said, “Do you need a ride to the airport?”
The 28-year-old quarterback opens training camp on Wednesday at the start of his seventh season with the Chargers. The team has yet to win a playoff game during his tenure.
Beer, 27, first gained widespread attention when Justin Bieber shared a video link of her singing “At Last” to his social media followers in 2012. The following year, she released her first single and video, which featured Bieber. She was nominated for a Grammy in 2024 and 2025, when she left the show after walking the red carpet, later explaining that she had “really bad social anxiety.”
