Hold that rock up, baby!

They got me good, she said, holding her ring finger aloft and wearing a Steelers jersey.

Oh my goodness, honestly, I knew absolutely nothing, says Normani, beaming from ear to ear.

As oblivious as oblivious can get, that was pretty much me.

I was just thinking, Okay, cool.

On Wednesday night, Metcalf told Normani to prepare for a surprise birthday dinner for his sister.

When we first met, we watchedJuwanna Mannat my house, says Metcalf.

Adds Normani, Honestly, I was so overwhelmed, I cant even remember what was said.

I just said Yes, yes, yes, of course.

The ring was beautiful.

My baby did amazing.

It was so beautiful and special, and he went above and beyond.

As for that ring?

After revealing these long-gestating plans to Normani, she was even more surprised than before.

I was like, Baby you knew for over a year?

Normani says, laughing again.

To get anything past me for over a year is crazy!

Thats going to be my girlfriend one day.

But for me, the most important part is that God has just been there.

Hes been faithful to both of us, and I have found my dream man.

Theres nobody that I would want to spend the rest of my life with and do life with.

Hes literally my best friend, and Im just really grateful that we found each other.

I want to commend her for sticking by me through all of it.

So is Normani already entering into wedding planning mode?

This is the first moment that Im really getting the opportunity to just reflect and process everything.

Im grateful that I get to do it alongside my mom, she says.
