17 Celebrity Proposal Stories to Sweep You Right Off Your Feet

Though the time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day is the most popular time to get engaged, National Proposal Day is actual March 20, which is, incidentally, also the first day of spring. To celebrate, we’re taking a glance back at some of the most romantic engagements ever orchestrated by your favorite celebs. Check ‘em out below!

1. Kate Middleton and Prince William: Prince William’s proposal was a no-brainer after eight years together with the duchess. The Duke of Cambridge chose a spot that he says brought out the immature, silly side of himself and announced his intentions to marry her while on a 10-day safari in Kenya. He mused back on the moment in a 2013 documentary, saying, “I didn’t really plan it that far in advance, like I just knew I wanted it to feel comfortable where I did it, and I wanted it to mean something, other than the act of just getting engaged.” (Photo via Chris Jackson/Getty)

2. Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham: In what was perhaps the most dramatic proposal on our list, Jeff Leatham enlisted the one and only Cher herself to help him ask fiancé and Teen Wolf actor Colton to marry him: He played a personalized video of the songstress addressing the duo and singing “I Got You Babe” (the couple’s favorite song), before playing a montage of messages from other friends and family members (which also included Melanie Griffith and Serena Williams). THEN — because apparently that wasn’t impressive enough — Leatham orchestrated a freakin’ fireworks display set to the tune of “Marry You” by Bruno Mars. Oh. Em. GEE.

3. Ciara and Russell Wilson: Wilson not only surprised his bride-to-be with an unexpected vacay to North Island in the Seychelles — he surprised her with a nighttime marriage proposal on the beach too.

"Bryiana Noelle Flores will you marry me?"

A post shared by Rob Dyrdek (@robdyrdek) on

4. Bryiana and Rob Dyrdek: It’s clear to anyone who’s ever watched MTV’s Fantasy Factory that star Rob Dyrdek is a big kid at heart, so it’s likely no surprise that the 42-year-old would seal the deal with sweetheart Bryiana Noelle in a place where childhood dreams come true: Disneyland. The jokester got onstage during a live performance of Aladdin to ask the genie to help grant three wishes: to be part of the show, to have “the most beautiful woman in the world” join him onstage, and for “something that shows her my love for her is a forever love” (i.e. a ring).

5. Jillian Michaels and Heidi Rhoades: Michaels got creative when she popped the question to her partner, Heidi Rhoades. The fitness guru ensured hers was no run-of-the-mill proposal by taking her significant other out to the movies for a viewing of what turned out to be a montage of their own love life, which ended with the inevitable question: “Will you marry me?”

6. Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro: While you might not immediately equate “Howard Stern” with “romance,” the shock jock actually helped to facilitate an engagement between longtime lovebirds Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro on-air. After nearly two decades together, Undergaro pulled the trigger during an appearance on TheHoward Stern Show to the delight of listeners everywhere, saying, “This show’s meant so much to both of us. It was the first thing we listened to together in that basement on a twin mattress and I said ‘one day you will be on that show and you will be a star,’ and here you are and here we are. It’s like why not make it official now?” Awwww! (Photo via @sternshow)

7. Daniel Franzese + Joseph Bradley Phillips:Mean Girls star Daniel Franzese got down on one knee for his beloved in the middle of a Starbucks — which just so happened to be the same place the lovebirds had met two years prior.

8. Channing and Jenna Dewan Tatum: Though Channing’s methodology wasn’t so crazy (he asked for Jenna’s hand on an uber-romantic getaway to Maui with a Neil Lane rock), he managed to pull a Mr. Big, secretly flying her closest friends to the island as well to join in on the couple’s happy moment.

9. Eudoxie Mbouguiengue + Ludacris: You might not have taken rapper Ludacris for a romantic, but he proved to be just that when he went all out for now-wife Eudoxie Mbouguiengue in asking her to be his bride. Not only did he take her for a ride in a private jet, but he projected the words, “Eudoxie will you marry me” on the ground beneath them. How sweet! The couple then wasted zero time, wedding just days later.

10. Sasha Clements and Corbin Bleu: Being that Corbin Bleu is best known for his Disney role in High School Musical, it only makes sense that he would pop the question to his then-girlfriend, now-wife Sasha Clements, also a Disney alum from How to Build a Better Boy, at the “happiest place on Earth.” Bleu made the moment extra special, however, by doing the deed in front of Cinderella’s castle and — get this — hiding her ring in a glass slipper. Swoooon! (Photo via Chelsea Lauren/Getty)

11. Heidi Klum and Seal: Though the two have since split, we’d be remiss to leave the tale of Seal’s unreal proposal to Klum off the list: The guy had a freakin’ igloo built special for the occasion. “I proposed on Dec. 23 at 14,000 in Whistler, B.C., in unchartered terrain on a glacier, in a natural snow cave, in an igloo built just for the moment,” Seal told Peopleback in 2005. Well, okay, then! (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

12. Pink and Carey Hart: Pink didn’t wait around for Carey Hart to make a move: She took matters into her own hands and proposed to him! In fact, the singer didn’t even wait for her motocross man to finish his run in the Pro 250 class finals he was engaged in at the time: Girl held up a sign written on a pit board with the big question from the grandstands. When he didn’t immediately respond, she added the word, “Serious.” Hart pulled off the track in the middle of his third lap to sweep her up in his arms (a surefire yes). (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)

13. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: For a larger-than-life diva like Mariah Carey, you need a larger-than-life proposal, and that’s exactly what Cannon gave her with the not one, but two proposals he gave her. After giving her a 17 carat (yowza!) diamond that he had hidden inside a Ring Pop on the roof of her apartment building, the former Nickelodeon star took Mimi on a helicopter ride to really make things official. “He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride,” she said. “Then he re-proposed.” (Photo via Charley Gallay/Getty)

14. Neil Patrick Harris + David Burtka: Like Franzese, David Burtka decided to choose a nostalgic spot to put a ring on his now-hubs, taking Neil Patrick Harris to the street corner where they met. A year later, Harris returned the favor on Valentine’s Day, proposing to Burtka in Santa Monica. OMFG, how cute are they!? (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

15. Camila Alves + Matthew McConaughey: Matthew McConaughey’s sweet proposal to Camila Alves played out like a Russian nesting doll, with the Dallas Buyers Club star hiding her ring eight boxes deep in a Christmas present at a family gathering. Despite the fact that Alves reportedly did not say yes right away (“I’m not gonna say what it was,” the star told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show), she caved when McConaughey assured her that he would outlast her down on one knee. (Photo via Christopher Polk/Getty)

16. Sofia Vergara + Joe Manganiello: Just six months after they first started dating, Joe Manganiello surprised Sofia Vergara with a romantic gesture for the storybooks: He learned Spanish in order to propose to his Colombian fiancée, including the line, “Eres mi todo,” or “You are my everything.” (Swoon). The Magic Mike actor spilled the beans to Live! With Michael and Kelly, saying, “You only get one chance to do it, and if you’re going to do it, you gotta do it right.” Needless to say, he was a tad bit nervous about the ordeal, saying, “The last thing you want to do is… mess up the Spanish on the proposal to a Colombian woman.” (Photo via Mark Davis/Getty)

17. Gabrielle Union + Dwanye Wade: Dwayne made the pair’s special moment a family affair, having his three siblings hold up a sign that read, “Will you marry us?” Okay, we’re weeping. (Photo via Jason Carter Rinaldi/Getty)

Despite a new celebrity breakup every other day, love is still in the air...and it's led Saiorse Ronan to the altar. Call us overzealous, but her marriage is the news we've been waiting for!

With films like The Lovely Bones (Susie Salmon) and Little Women (Jo March), Saoirse's cemented a place in our hearts. However, as monumental as her onscreen performances can be, she prefers to keep her private life tucked away — not that we blame her. BUT...showing up to a fashion show wearing a diamond ring on that finger was a pretty huge statement, and her first red carpet appearance since tying the knot is even sweeter. Here's everything we know so far + details about Saiorse Ronan's relationship with Jack Lowden!


While promoting her new movie Blitz, Saoirse Ronan revealed there's one date night she's "desperate" to do with husband Jack Lowden. “I’ve been desperate for myself and my husband Jack to do a cheesy karaoke duet,” she tells Jimmy Fallon. “It’s ‘Shallow’ from A Star is Born. I want him to be my Bradley [Cooper], and I’ll be his [Lady] Gaga."

Despite the fact we think they'd be the perfect Bradley and Gaga, Saoirse reveals "he won’t do it!"

"He hasn’t committed," she continues. "And I’m sort of like, well, what’s marriage for? You know what I mean? What are we doing here?”

At the 2024 Emmys, Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden made their first red carpet appearance as a married couple and I simply cannot get enough of them. The Little Women actress stunned in a navy skirt and bandeau set, complete with draping detail and a silver necklace, while Jack Lowden wore a complementary navy and black tux with a bowtie.

Are Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden married?

@jack.lowden/Instagram

Yes, Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden are reportedly married! Documents from a Scottish civil marriage registry show that the couple have an official license and tied the knot in Edinburgh (via People).

They had an intimate ceremony that was kept under wraps by all who attended (via Irish Independent). This is on par with the couple's tendency to keep the details of their relationship out of the public eye.

It's hard to say if they'll make a public statement about their marriage, but we're still happy for the cute couple!

Where was Saoirse Ronan seen wearing a diamond ring?

According to People, Saoirse made an appearance at the Louis-Vuitton Womenswear SS 2024 runway show last year. In addition to gorgeous blonde bob she was seen sporting, close observers noticed a beautiful diamond ring on her finger — hence the engagement speculations.

How long did Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden date before they got engaged?

The lovely couple have been dating for some time now. In 2018, Page Six shared that Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden were dating following their appeared in the film Mary Queen of Scots. A source told the outlet, "We don’t know when they got together...but they seem very happy and sweet."

They've mostly kept their relationship under wraps but have made appearances here and there.

What has Saioirse Ronan said about Jack Lowden?

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, Saiorse Ronan offered a brief glimpse into their relationship. She said, "When a person you respect as much as I do him says that, it means more than anyone else’s opinion."

What has Jack Lowden said about Saiorse Ronan?

Jack has sang Saoirse's praises when talking about her work ethic with him recently telling Esquire UK, "Saoirse is, first and foremost, one of the best actors in the world, so to work with her in that way and help in any way I could was great." He was referring to her role as Amy Liptrot in The Outrun - a film their production company is producing.

FOE | Official Trailer

Saoirse recently appeared in Foe, which premiered in theaters October 6th. She stars alongside Paul Mescal as they play a married couple whose bond is tested when they're met with an unusual offer. Two words — artificial intelligence.

I've officially entered my flannel pajamas era because these 30+ year-old bones get cold. If it's below 63 degrees at home, my teeth start chattering...much to minor annoyance of my very warm-blooded fiancé. Usually I snuggle next to him like he's a bear when I'm that cold, but I can't have my way all the time. So, cute and cozy pajamas it is!

As luck would have it, I have the deets on the best winter options that may find their way to your front door. Let's go down the list, shall we?

The Best Winter Flannel Pajamas To Buy ASAP

  1. The Best Plaid Flannel Pajamas: Wondershop Plaid PJs

L.L. Bean Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas

Plaid and the holidays are the first thing that comes to mind when I think about flannel pajamas. This top and pants set set is super soft because of its Portuguese cotton fabric. It''ll almost feel like you're enveloping yourself in a cozy blanket sans any potential mishaps when you need to use the restroom.

Hanna Andersson

Hanna Andersson Holiday Flannel Nightshirt

I love ditching pants when it gets too warm under my weighted blanket, but I think it'll be 10x easier to button up a flannel nightshirt. This lightweight beauty is still going to give you the cozy feel without restricting your legs AND you'll be able to iron it on cool (opposite side only).

Old Navy

Old Navy Flannel Pajama Shirt Dress

Again with the flannel shirt dress option? Um, yes. This option is for anyone who loves an orange and purple moment instead of green. Also, the hemline is just a tad longer than the prior one so you won't be as likely to flash anyone when you're putting the finishing touches on your Christmas tree's skirt.

Target

Wondershop Plaid Flannel Pajamas

I just had to include a pair of red and white flannel pajamas because they scream "Christmas" without any of the obvious decor designs. I love that they're a part of a matching family set so you can schedule a pajama-themed sleepover on Christmas Eve.

What's not to love?

I have a special appreciation for the cat distribution system and the lucky moms who find their feline matches because I know how personalized it is. If you and your fur baby are locked in, you absolutely deserve to walk around your space in this jolly big cat nightgown.

If you've memorized No Doubt's "Just a Girl," and love belting it during karaoke night, you'll appreciate this cute ribbons & bows PJ set. The labels are and bows are outlined in red to offset the Pepto-Bismol pink base.

Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret Flannel Long Pajama Set

You don't have to wear leopard print in public if you won't want to, but don't be shy about wearing this set at home. You'll feel sultry with your glass of wine, charcuterie board, and remote in your hand.

Aerie

Aerie Off-Duty Flannel Trouser PJ Pants

You could also skip the matching moment and wear your favorite oversized t-shirt with these flannel pants. They're equally cozy and won't feel overpowering if you don't like that much pattern.

If you're not a fan of pants or nightgowns, these plus size pajamas will get you right! The shorts have an elastic waist so you'll have plenty of breathing room. Also, the entire set is made of cotton and satin which sounds like a great time if you ask me.

It's not fair for my minimalist girls to not have a pair of flannel pajamas to choose from so this is for you. They're 100% cotton, have an elastic waist, and are machine-washable! Did I mention they're also loose-fitting if you're uninterested in your pajamas hugging your body? Oh yeah, these are for you.

The best flannel pajamas for kids

GAP Factory

Call it my mom instincts, but I can't forget kids! These cute plaid flannel pajamas are a great option for them to wear on Christmas Eve and the morning they get to open their presents. They're made of a soft jersey knit that'll keep up with a kid's moves, including bounding down the stairs or doing somersaults off the couch because they're excited for the holidays.
