Congratulations are in order for former Fifth Harmony member Normani, who recently became engaged to American football player DK Metcalf. The happy news was shared by the wide receiver during a press conference following his trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers on March 13.
Metcalf asked the “Wild Side” singer to show off her ring at the press conference, saying, “Hold that rock up, baby,” before going on to share details of the proposal. “My family and her family [were] in Houston. It was my sister’s spring break and I just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring,” he said, smiling broadly.
Here’s everything to know about Normani’s husband-to-be, DK Metcalf.
American football is in his blood
DeKaylin “DK” Metcalf was born in December 1997, in Oxford, Mississippi. He played American football throughout high school and went on to play at the University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss.
The wide receiver’s commanding presence on the field is a family trait. Metcalf’s father Terrence Metcalf played as a Chicago Bears guard. Metcalf’s cousin, TJ Metcalf, is a college football player most recently with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
