It looks like Madison Beer has officially traded in her “locket theme” for an engagement ring! After months of speculation, the singer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert are taking their relationship to the next level, announcing their engagement on July 28. From the leaked set photos that we later learned were promo for Beer’s locket album to being spotted together at Harry Styles’s concert in Amsterdam, Madison Beer and Justin Herbert’s relationship timeline has been filled with plenty of curiosity and internet detective work. Not surprisingly, fans are dying to know how this unexpected love story began.
The “angel wings” singer has long been known for keeping her personal life relatively under wraps. And for Herbert, even more so. (As a diehard LA Chargers fan who’s been in love with Herbert since he officially joined the team back in 2020, I can confirm.) So together, they make a pretty unexpected — but undeniably adorable — pairing. Both stars have kept much of their relationship private, so the internet is doing their best to decipher all the dates from their relationship timeline. If their recent engagement gave you whiplash and left your head “Spinnin,” you’re not alone. Here’s everything you need to know about the relationship timeline that led Beer to officially say, “yes baby.”
