Girl power moment: Bella Thorne proposes to fiancé Mark Emms
Bella Thorne recently made headlines after proposing to her fiancé, Mark Emms, reversing traditional gender roles and prompting spirited debates about the significance of the moment. Sharing intimate photos of the heartfelt moment at their home, Thorne revealed the unconventional proposal in a post celebrating their unfolding love story. Known for her provocative persona and bold career moves, Thorne continues to challenge norms and spark conversations in her personal life and creative endeavours. Although her provocative public persona keeps her in the spotlight, Bella Thorne never shies away from making headlines and topping the trends list. The most recent reason is the public's reaction to photos of the 27-year-old getting down on one knee to propose to her fiancé, Mark Emms. According to a report by E! News, Emms, a producer and entrepreneur, proposed to Thorne in 2023. In line with her history of challenging norms, the former Disney star flipped traditional gender roles by proposing to her 45-year-old fiancé. '3 years ago we met. 1 year later he proposed, Now 1 year later so did I,' she wrote in the caption of a photo-dump-style Instagram carousel post. The images and videos show Emms surrounded by candles, flowers and heart-shaped balloons in what appears to be their home. Their outfits – her black pants and white sweatshirt, and Emms' black T-shirt, jeans and baseball hat – indicate that the proposal was impromptu. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BELLA (@bellathorne) While many in her mostly young, female fanbase praised her boldness, others dismissed the heartwarming moment as attention-seeking behaviour. 'The comments on my post are hilarious!! Totally split down the middle. Half of u are like let's not normalise proposing to your partner – other half is like f**k yeah girl power this is the sweetest!!' she wrote in a post shared on her Instagram Stories a day after her engagement post. — BITCHIMBELLATHORNE (@bellathorne) August 17, 2025 Thorne is an American actress, singer and writer who began acting as a child to support her family. She landed uncredited roles in films like Stuck on You (2003) and appeared in TV shows like Entourage and The O.C. Her breakthrough came with recurring roles in Dirty Sexy Money (2007–2008) as Margaux Darling and My Own Worst Enemy (2008) as Ruthy Spivey, earning a Young Artist Award for the latter. Thorne's time playing CeCe Jones on Disney Channel's Shake It Up (2010–2013), starring alongside Zendaya, cemented her celebrity status and earned her an Imagen Award. She later transitioned from Disney's wholesome image to edgier projects, appearing in films like Blended, The DUFF, Amityville: The Awakening, and Infamous and led the series Famous in Love between 2014 and 2020. READ | Four years strong: The Mthombenis mark anniversary with romantic adventures in Asia In August 2020, Thorne joined OnlyFans, charging $20 per month for subscriptions and quickly amassing 50 000 subscribers. She went on to earn millions per month from the platform after her subscriber base grew and her earnings offset the commission deducted by the platform. According to reports, she earned $1 million on her first day and $2 million in a week, becoming the platform's top earner at the time. She went on to claim that she opened the account as research for a film with Sean Baker and to destigmatise sex work, while also planning to fund her production company and charities. Baker denied any involvement in the project. Her $200 pay-per-view (PPV) post, promoted as 'nude' but delivering lingerie photos, garnered accusations of fraud by her subscribers who paid for the content believing they would see her without anything on. The resulting chargebacks prompted OnlyFans to cap PPV prices at $50, tips at $100 and extend payout periods from 7 to 30 days in some regions, changes many creators attributed to Thorne's actions, though OnlyFans denied this. Her account remains active but has shifted focus to other creative pursuits.

Bella Thorne Proposes To Boyfriend, And Women Hate It
Bella Thorne unintentionally pissed a lot of people off by getting down on one knee for her boyfriend-turned-fiancé, Mark Emms. On Saturday, the former Disney Channel star shared a surprising carousel on her Instagram. She captioned the post, "3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now 1 year later so did I." It was shocking to fans for two reasons: Not only was she showing herself proposing to Mark, but they were even more confused about the action because Mark had already popped the question to her in May 2023. Bella's IG post kicked off with a short clip of her literally getting down on one knee. Not long after, Mark also joined her on one knee, as she asked him to marry her while presenting him with his very own engagement ring. The mood was set with white and red flowers and lit candles spread out throughout the room. The second video showed a different angle of the proposal, where we see an up-close shot of the initial shock on Mark's face and him later breaking down into tears. It was then followed by the after, including a sweet embrace, as well as photos of the decor. And it ended with photos of them together, celebrating the reality that they both wanted to do a grand gesture to profess their love for each other. Well, the romantic moment was clouded by comments from people who were completely turned off by Bella proposing to a man: But there were also people who respected her decision and wanted others to do the same: Bella noticed the comments, but she didn't take them to heart. In fact, she thought it was funny how "split down the middle" the responses were. "Half of u are like let's not normalize proposing to your partner –– other half is like fuck yeah girl power this is the sweetest!!" she wrote on her Instagram Story.

Bella Thorne's Proposal Controversy, Explained
I did not have 'Bella Thorne proposal controversy' on my 2025 bingo card. Though given the chaotic state of the world, I probably should have. On Sunday, Aug. 17, Bella Throne shared an Instagram post showing her proposal to fiancé Mark Emms. The sweet post, captioned '3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now 1 year later so did I,' was meant to celebrate the one year anniversary of their engagement and Mark's original proposal. Instead, it quickly devolved into a debate about gender roles in the comments. 'Okay ladies, let's not normalize this, okay?' reads a top comment—it currently has 93, 847 likes. Another asks, 'If he already proposed why did you do it lol I'm confused.' More critics flocked to the comments, adding in confused emojis and GIFs, prompting debates among fans. Things got so chaotic, Bella herself addressed the discourse in a since-deleted Instagram Story. 'The comments on my post are hilarious,' she wrote, per E! News. 'Totally split down the middle. Half of you are like let's not normalize proposing to your partner—other half is like f--k yeah girl power this is the sweetest!!' While I'm glad Bella isn't letting the negativity in her comments affect her happiness, there is a dark side to the criticisms that can't be ignored. This isn't just a case of trolls hating on Bella for the fun of it, it's sexism. When people criticize Bella's decision to propose, they're implying that she shouldn't have done it because that's not her role as a woman. Her actions, then, threaten the gender binary they seem to hold so dear. This 'controversy' isn't about Bella, it's about gender roles within the patriarchy—most posters are just good at hiding it. One commenter, however, said the quiet part out loud, writing, 'Men don't need more encouragement to be more energetically feminine than they already are.' It's hard not to see these criticisms as related to growing transphobia and backlash to LGBTQ+ rights, as well as the rise of trad wife content—Nara Smith cooking videos, the Princess Treatment trend, etc.—all of which promotes traditional gender roles. Not only that, but the brazenness of these critiques—why are we posting this on former child star Bella Thorne's Instagram?—points to a growing conservative slant in American culture and media that allows people to feel comfortable spouting these views on a stranger's Instagram post. This might seem like harmless Instagram drama, but assuming these commenters are serious in their beliefs, it's actually a pretty dark indicator of where we are right now, and where we might be headed.
