Love is in the air—or at least that’s the case when it comes to singer Normani and her boyfriend Pittsburg Steelers player DK Metcalf! The couple recently shared some exciting news to their fans and followers and you’ll never believe how Ciara and Russell Wilson are involved.
To start, during a press conference on Thursday, Metcalf expressed his happiness over being traded to the Steelers from his previous time with the Seattle Seahawks. Amid his speech of gratitude, that’s when he let on that his giddiness was also due to another and completely unrelated reason.
“Don’t know too many more words other than great. ... Found a new home here, found a new fiancée and everything’s just falling in line, just the way God planned for it to be. Hold that rock up, baby,” he said with a grin in a video captured by ESPN as a beaming Normani happily obliged.
So by now you’re probably wondering just how Ciara and Wilson fit into the mix, right? Well, according to PEOPLE, the couple met at one of Ciara’s parties back in 2022. But what Metcalf and Normani didn’t know was that it was a set up orchestrated by the “Goodies” singer and Wilson to get them to cross paths on an unofficial “blind date.”
“They was playing cupid, but it worked,” Normani said in an interview with Apple Music in back in June 2024. “If you could trust a couple [to set you up], that would be the couple.”
Fast forward three years later and the young NFL star and “Motivation” singer are getting ready to walk down the aisle. In a video posted to Ciara’s Instagram and TikTok, she expressed her happiness over the news captioning in the post: “@RussellWilson and I knew when we introed y’all 3yrs ago...love was truly in the air! Now y’all gon be booed up forever!!! This was the best news...we love yall so much!”
