DK Metcalf’s Eventful Week: New Team, New Contract, and a New Fiancée
What a week it has been for DK Metcalf! The star wide receiver has been making headlines for multiple reasons, and it seems like the universe is aligning perfectly for him. Let’s dive into the whirlwind of events that have unfolded for Metcalf, culminating in a heartwarming engagement announcement.
First off, Metcalf’s move from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers became official this week. During his introductory news conference on Thursday, Metcalf not only discussed his trade but also dropped a personal bombshell: he’s engaged to R&B sensation Normani. Talk about a double whammy of good news!
The two-time Pro Bowler shared that he proposed in Houston, a city that holds special significance as both families were gathered there for his sister’s spring break. Metcalf couldn’t contain his excitement, saying, “Don’t know too many more words other than great. … Found a new home here, found a new fiancée and everything’s just falling in line, just the way God planned for it to be.”

For those who might not be in the know, Metcalf and Normani’s love story began in 2022. They were introduced by none other than R&B singer Ciara, who is married to Metcalf’s former Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson. It’s a small world, isn’t it?
Normani, who first caught the public’s eye after auditioning for “The X Factor” in 2012, became a household name as part of Fifth Harmony. The girl group, formed from solo contestants on the show, went on to become one of the best-selling groups of all time. Since the group’s split in 2018, Normani has been making waves with her solo career.
But let’s not forget the other major development in Metcalf’s life this week. The 27-year-old athlete started the week by agreeing to a five-year, $150 million extension, as sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This followed the trade between the Seahawks and Steelers that sent ripples through NFL free agency on Sunday night.
- Metcalf’s trade to the Steelers is now official.

It’s not every day that you see a professional athlete experience such significant changes in both their personal and professional lives simultaneously. Metcalf’s journey this week is a testament to the unpredictable and often serendipitous nature of life. As he embarks on this new chapter with the Steelers and Normani by his side, fans and followers alike are eager to see what the future holds for this dynamic duo.
