Cause for celebration! The celebrity engagements of 2022 include Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly, Josh Duhamel and more stars who put a ring on it (or got a ring put on) this year, and we can’t wait to see these weddings.
Of course, the celebrity engagements of 2022 come after a year of star-studded engagements the year before from famous couples like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker; Britney Spears and Sam Asghari; and Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers. Kardashian and Barker, who started dating in December 2020, announced their engagement in October 2021 with photos and videos from Barker’s proposal at a beach in Montecito, California. A source told People at the time that the proposal was a “complete surprise” to Kardashian. “It was a complete surprise for Kourtney. Travis told her family that he planned to propose, but everyone was great at keeping it secret,” the insider said. “The Rosewood is their favorite for short weekend getaways. They often stay at the hotel. This is why Travis proposed there. It’s a very special place to them, but it was also easier to keep everything a secret by proposing there,” the insider said.
The source continued, “It was a very romantic beach proposal at sunset. Travis took Kourtney for a walk, and you could tell that she wasn’t sure what was going on when she saw all the roses on the beach. Red and white roses were shaped into a heart. There were a lot of candles. They both looked very happy.”
Rodgers announced his engagement to Woodley, whom he started dating in 2020, at an NFL Honors broadcast in February 2021. “2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change, growth, some amazing, memorable moments, 180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no stands the entire season. I got engaged and I played some of the best football in my career,” Rodgers said at the time before thanking his “fiancée,” Woodley.
But that was 2021. Read on for the celebrity engagements of 2022 and which stars are set to walk down the aisle in the near future. These diamond ring photos will make your jaws drop.
Antoni Porowski & Kevin Harrington
Cookin’ it up! Antoni Porowski just announced his engagement to his partner Kevin Harrington on November 17, 2022. The Queer Eye star posted on his Instagram a blurry picture of the two with the caption, “”I really hope the wedding photos are less blurry 🙏🏼.” His Queer Eye co-stars commented on his post with so much joy. Karamo Brown wrote, “Yessssssssss!!!! So excited for you two! This is amazing.” Bobby Berk exclaimed, “So damn happy for you two! You both got a good one!!! 😭😭😭😭” While Tan France and Jonathan Van Ness quipped with their self-professed wedding roles. “So cute, love soy much ❤️❤️❤️ Already sourcing my flower girl looks!!!” JVN wrote. “I volunteer as wedding selfie-photographer,” Tan joked.
Antoni was first linked with Kevin in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns brought them closer together. “We went from being in a relationship and each having our own apartments and not having a dog, to living in the same place with a dog,” he told People. “It escalated quickly. But I don’t have any complaints, which is kind of nice. When something is stable and really good — and you communicate a lot, and you check in with each other and with your own therapist about it — I feel like that’s kind of the key.”
Beanie Feldstein & Bonnie Chance Roberts
So sweet! Beanie Feldstein just got engaged to producer Bonnie Chance Roberts. The Booksmart star posted the precious proposal moment on her Instagram on June 23, 2022. She captioned the photo, “i do, bon.” The Funny Girl actress also made an Instagram story with the caption “@bonnie_chance you make me happier than i knew was possible. i love you.” Famous friends who attended the poolside proposal include Ben Platt and Kaitlyn Dever, as well as her brother Jonah Hill.
Beanie and Bonnie have been together since 2018. During an interview for Booksmart with People in May 2019, she discussed the importance of LGBTQIA+ representation in the movie while also defending her love for her girlfriend at the time. “The only love scene in the film is a queer love scene, and that’s so radical. By doing that, you’re asking that to be the norm. By showing queer sexuality and making heterosexual people relate to it is actually really deeply meaningful,” she said. “For me in my life, it is a part of who I am but it is not at all my defining feature. It doesn’t mean I don’t love my girlfriend, it’s just part of who I am. And [the character]’s the same way. To see that in Amy and how beautifully Kaitlyn plays her and how beautifully Katie [Silberman, screenwriter] and Olivia [Wilde, director] crafted her, it’s gonna change a lot of people’s lives.”
Rita Ora & Taika Waititi

Getting hitched! Rita Ora and Taika Waititi are engaged after a year and a half of dating, according to the UK Sun. The “Finish Line” singer, 31, and the Thor: Ragnarok director, 46, almost proposed “simultaneously” the each other, an insider told the site in a report published on June 8, 2022.
“They didn’t do a whole, ‘Will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post,” the source shared. “There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you’. It’s actually really romantic and just exactly the way they are together.”
Now, the happy couple are reportedly planning a “low-key” ceremony abroad before hosting a celebrity-packed celebration later down the line. “So the plan is to marry abroad, as soon as their respective projects end, with their closest friends and family around them,” the insider continued. “And then there will be a big celebration in London at a later stage, when they get the chance, with all their famous friends there. But for now it’s about getting down the aisle and making things official. There are a few details to iron out, but it’s coming soon and it’ll be beautifully intimate and perfectly them.”
Ora and Waititi “couldn’t be happier,” to make things official, the source added. “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand. It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalize their relationship.”
The pair first sparked dating rumors in the spring of 2021, when they were spotted getting cozy in Sydney, Australia. They seemingly confirmed their romance when they were photographed kissing on a balcony that year, while also sparking speculation of a throuple with actress Tessa Thompson, who took part in the steamy makeout sesh.
