DK Metcalf has been having a busy offseason.
Metcalf revealed at an introductory press conference with the Steelers on Thursday that he has been engaged to his longtime girlfriend and R&B singer Normani.
“That lockup, baby,” Metcalf told his new fiancé, speaking to reporters a few days after his deal with the Seahawks.
Metcalf, 27, added that he proposed to 28-year-old Normani in Houston on Wednesday.
He also revealed the plans for his previous proposal.
“I tried last year,” Metcalf said. I said. “But she's a singer and her work is inconsistent with schedules, so I tried to approach places where schedules aren't important.”
“I began to send flowers in the story, and the final letter of the flower was, “Would you marry me?” And she said yes,” Metcalfe added.
Metcalf has been associated with Normani since 2022.
Metcalf's engagement comes days after he was dealt with Pittsburgh in the blockbuster trade on Sunday.
The two-time Pro Bowler also carved a five-year, $150 million extension with Pittsburgh.
Before the deal, Metcalf was a member of the Seahawks for his entire six-year career, with Ole Mis Arum being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Metcalf expressed his excitement to play for Pittsburgh after previously saying he was “all-in” with his new team.
“Director Tomlin, Omar [Kahn]and Mr. [Art] All Rooney called with me and called on Sunday. He told reporters.
“It all snowballed from there and brought me before you today.”
