Love in the Spotlight: Winnie Harlow and Kyle Kuzma’s Dreamy Engagement
Winnie Harlow and NBA player Kyle Kuzma are officially engaged, and their love story is as dreamy as it gets! Announcing their engagement on Instagram on February 18, the couple shared the exciting news just days after Kuzma popped the question on February 13 during a romantic getaway to the beautiful Turks and Caicos. Talk about a proposal that’s straight out of a fairy tale!
According to Vogue, Kuzma surprised Harlow by chartering a private plane filled with red roses, balloons, chocolate, and champagne, all of which she initially thought were Valentine’s Day treats. But her confusion quickly turned into joy when he began reciting a poem he’d written just for this occasion. After a few lines, Kuzma’s closing words, “Will you marry me?” sealed the deal, revealing an 8.5-carat oval-cut diamond ring that he designed personally over three months—no input from Harlow, just pure romance!
It’s clear that this couple knows how to keep things lively. Harlow and Kuzma previously connected on social media during the pandemic. They almost missed their chance to spark romance when Kuzma slid into Harlow’s DMs in 2019, but she didn’t see his message until much later. Fast-forward to 2020, and they were practically inseparable after Harlow made the big move from New York City to Los Angeles—Kuzma was playing for the Lakers at that time, living the quintessential basketball dream.
Despite facing breakup rumors along the way, they’ve always returned to each other, bonding over their mutual love for fashion and creative expression. Kuzma has been vocal about how Harlow inspires him: “She has a lot of style too, and that’s one of the things connecting me to her,” he shared in a past interview with PEOPLE.
Now, with both of their families ready to celebrate this monumental occasion, the couple enjoyed a cozy dinner on the beach with a stunning fireworks display. Harlow couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately reached out to share the news—though she hilariously faced a busy signal on her mom’s end!
As they gear up for wedding plans, these two are indeed “over the moon,” and honestly, so are we. Who could resist cheering for this stylish couple on their journey to forever? Keep your eyes peeled for wedding updates, because if their engagement is an indication, it’s bound to be a showstopper!
