Apparently, changing teams and signing a $150 million contract wasn't enough excitement in one week for DK Metcalf.

Just days after a blockbuster trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Metcalf also began a new chapter of his personal life with his engagement to his fiance and award-winning singer Normani. The two have been dating since 2022, and they now happily look forward to the next stage of their relationship.

“Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me,” Metcalf said in a recent Steelers Instagram post. “Can’t wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation.”

Some congratulations were in order for this big occasion, including from another Seahawks great.

Russell Wilson, who is a free agent after spending last season with the Steelers, gave a heartfelt congratulations to the newly-engaged couple on Friday. Metcalf confirmed in his introductory press conference with the Steelers that he had already told Wilson and his wife Ciara about the engagement.

"I see you home!" Wilson wrote. "We love you guys! @Ciara & I are so proud of yall two love birds!"

Actually, there's more of a link between the two couples than just Metcalf and Wilson playing together in Seattle. Wilson and Ciara initially introduced Metcalf and Normani to each other at a party in 2022, and they immediately hit it off.

If anything, Ciara might've been more excited for Metcalf and Normani's engagement than her husband was.

"[Wilson] and I knew when we intro-ed yall 3yrs ago .. love was truly in the air!" Ciara wrote on social media. "Now yall gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news! [Metcalf and Normani], we love yall so much!"
