Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are out there playing matchmaker for none other than DK Metcalf and his partner Normani, and they’re clearly proud of their work. The veteran quarterback and his singer-wife had a front-row seat to the love story they helped kickstart, and their reaction was pure joy.
Russell Wilson and His Wife Ciara Expressed Joy on DL Metcalf’s Big News
DK Metcalf, now a Pittsburgh Steeler after a blockbuster trade, made his engagement to R&B star Normani official to the public in the most unexpected way—right in the middle of his introductory press conference. However, the announcement for his quarterback and friend Russell came on a video call, and it is apt to say that his expression showed pure joy.
It was a moment that had everyone buzzing, but perhaps no one was more thrilled than Wilson and Ciara. The power couple played a major role in introducing the pair back in 2022, and they couldn’t contain their excitement when the news dropped. Taking to TikTok, Ciara shared a heartfelt message along with a group Facetime screenshot of Normani flashing her engagement ring, which made its final way to X.
“Russell Wilson and I knew when we introed y’all 3 years ago… love was truly in the air! Now y’all gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news! DK Metcalf, Normani, we love y’all so much!” Ciara wrote.
Meanwhile, as Metcalf sat down to discuss his future in Pittsburgh, he couldn’t hold back his excitement, revealing that he’d popped the question in a way straight out of a romance novel.
“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,” Metcalf shared, grinning from ear to ear before telling Normani, “Hold that rock up, baby.”

The engagement announcement to Metcalf’s big move to Pittsburgh has all been an emotional rollercoaster for the newly engaged receiver. The star wideout, who had been considering a proposal since 2024, wanted to make sure his approach wasn’t dictated by a football schedule. Instead, he crafted a plan that was both thoughtful and deeply personal, something Normani clearly appreciated.
Wilson, known for his leadership, has always been about building connections, and this moment reinforced just how much he values relationships. In a different video, he addressed Normani as his ‘beautiful fiancee’ while thanking her for being by his side as he transitioned to Pittsburgh.
With Metcalf now in a new city and preparing for his next NFL chapter, he’ll have Normani by his side, along with Wilson and Ciara, cheering them in Pittsburgh. Safe to say, Wilson’s matchmaking skills might just be as strong as his game on the field.
