Normani engaged to newly traded Pittsburgh Steeler DK Metcalf
Normani engaged to newly traded Pittsburgh Steeler DK Metcalf
Normani has found her "Motivation" for forever.
The 28-year-old singer and newly traded Pittsburgh Steeler DeKaylin "DK" Metcalf are engaged, the NFL star announced to reporters at a press conference Thursday.
While answering if he had gotten engaged the day prior, the wide receiver pointed out the former Fifth Harmony member was in attendance, telling her to "hold that ring up, baby!"
Metcalf, 27, said he proposed in Houston when the couple's families were together. "It was my sister's spring break, and just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring," he said.
USA TODAY has reached out to Normani's reps for comment.
Metcalf added he "tried to" propose last year, but "she's a singer and her work conflicted with the schedule," so he ultimately decided to take a different approach.
"I started sending her flowers with a story, and then the last letter on the flower was 'Will you marry me?' And she said yes," he said with a smile.
Metcalf later shouted out his "beautiful fiancée" as he prepared for his visit with the Steelers. He requested a trade last week after spending the first six seasons of his pro career with the Seattle Seahawks, the team that drafted him in the second round (64th overall) in the 2019 draft. The NFL Network reported his deal with the Steelers was for five years and $150 million.

The couple first announced they were dating in 2023, according to People. The couple is very private, with neither posting the other on their main Instagram feeds.
Musically, Normani has been relatively quiet since her long-awaited debut album "Dopamine," in June, following the singles "Wild Side," "1:59" with Gunna and "Candy Paint."
The singer has made a handful of guest appearances since, including the Khalid track "Personal" and the Gunna song "$$$."

‘Snow White' becomes Disney's worst-performing live-action remake in nearly 10 years
Disney's 'Snow White' reboot is leaving a legacy it certainly doesn't want, becoming the company's worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years. The 2025 remake of the original 1937 movie opened March 21 in the US and Canada, and has struggled, earning barely $200 million worldwide. The film's page on calls the movie 'officially a flop,' and says its $205.5 million earnings are 'miles behind its massive $410 million total cost,' including marketing, production, and other items. The site calls the film's disappointing performance 'a financial blow which few expected to be this severe, especially with the losses already estimated at over $115 million, per Collider.' 'Pete's Dragon,' a 2016 Disney remake of the 1977 film, came away with $143.7 million, $61.8 million less than 'Snow White.' The 'Snow White' remake was not without its controversies, which perhaps contributed to the film's poor reception. Over three years before the film's release, one A-list actor with dwarfism had Walt Disney Studios reframe how it portrayed the classic seven dwarfs characters. 'Game of Thrones' star Peter Dinklage called out the studio for even considering taking a stab at portraying magical dwarfs in the modern era. 5 Rachel Zegler reads a book on the set of 'Snow White,' from an Instagram post on March 20, 2025. Instagram/@rachelzelger Speaking on comedian Marc Maron's podcast in 2022, Dinklage stated, 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f—–g backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f— are you doing, man?' Disney then addressed the complaint and said the company would take a 'different approach' to the seven dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo in 2022. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' 5 Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in a scene from the movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 5 The seven dwarves from the 2025 movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Due to the controversy over the dwarfs and Zegler's comments on the original movie, Disney announced in late 2023 it would delay the release for 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' by a full year. It was originally slated to be released in March 2024. Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. In an August 2024 X post talking about the official trailer for 'Snow White,' the actress wrote, 'And always remember, free Palestine.' She also lashed out at people who voted for President Donald Trump, saying in an Instagram post, 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,' adding, 'F— Donald Trump.' 5 Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection She later apologized, saying in part that 'Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding.' Disney also scaled back the Hollywood premiere event for 'Snow White.' Variety reported 'the studio won't be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does,' and that the dozens of media outlets customarily present wouldn't be. Instead, coverage consisted of house crew members and photographers. 5 Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for comment on 'Snow White's' box office numbers, but did not immediately receive a response.

Princess Märtha Louise's Daughter Is Joining a Popular Reality TV Series, Despite Being 6th in Line to the Norwegian Throne
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway's daughter is branching out into reality TV. Leah Isadora Behn, who is currently 6th in line to the Norwegian throne, has announced her participation in a reality TV series called Forræder, which is Norway's version of The Traitors. Announcing the news on Instagram, Behn wrote, "Traitors Season 5 with @ gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss." She continued, "See you in the fall, this is going to be sick." Clearly, Behn is ready to be a conniving and memorable reality TV contestant. The 20-year-old royal has two sisters—22-year-old Maud Angelica and 16-year-old Emma Tallulah. The trio's father, Ari Behn, passed away in December 2019 at the age of 47. Leah isn't the first member of her family to embark upon a career in reality TV, either. Her older sister Maud appeared on the Norwegian version of The Masked Singer, Maskorama, in 2022. It's also worth noting that Princess Märtha Louise's three daughters don't have royal titles, despite being in line for the Norwegian throne. Aside from a possible future as a reality television star, Leah is a social media influencer with almost 150,000 Instagram followers, as of June 2025. Leah's mother, Princess Märtha Louise, married American Shaman Durek Verrett on August 31, 2024. The couple tied the knot at Hotel Union in Geiranger, Norway, which offers incredible views of a World Heritage Site-designated Norwegian Fjord. In April, Princess Märtha Louise and her new husband shared their top relationship tips on social media. "Always telling the truth and always being transparent with each other builds a beautiful and successful relationship because you can trust each other and know that, no matter what is said, love will always be there," Verrett shared in the video. Märtha Louise emphasized the importance of taking "responsibility for your triggers." She further explained, "It's mostly you who has the triggers inside of you from something in the past, it's not actually the person in front of you."
