This enchanting journey unfolded gracefully, eventually leading to an endearing engagement announcement that’s melting hearts worldwide.
The Moment of Realization
The story began in 2019 when Normani’s dynamic performance in her music video for “Motivation” caught DK’s attention. According to Normani, “Me and Ciara are really close, and Russell [Wilson] and DK were teammates on the Seattle Seahawks.” During a laidback music session, the video surfaced on screen, and from that very moment, DK felt a spark, asserting confidently, “That’s going to be my wife. That’s going to be my girlfriend one day.” It seemed love can indeed blossom through the screen!
Overcoming the Hurdles

The Role of a Matchmaker
Two years passed, and it was Ciara’s turn to play cupid. Normani recalls, “I ended up going to a party for Ciara’s rum brand, and lo and behold, he ended up being there, and the rest is history.” As stated in Uproxx, Ciara’s matchmaking talents should be celebrated, perhaps even more than her music!
The Celebrated Engagement
Before the world witnessed their heartfelt engagement revealed on March 13, 2025, Normani and DK’s relationship had been growing strong for three years. Fans have been captivated by this coupling, ever since they confirmed their romance in 2023 after keeping fans guessing with a romantic date sighting.
