‘Oh my goodness, honestly, I knew absolutely nothing. As oblivious as oblivious can get, that was pretty much me,’ she recalled.

‘I was just thinking, ‘Okay, cool. This is a great opportunity for our families to get together, enjoy each other, and spend quality time together,’ the Wild Side hitmaker shared.

DK, full name DeKaylin Zecharius, told the magazine that he showed Ciara the engagement ring her purchased ahead of the big ask.

‘Me and Ciara are really close, and Russell and DK were teammates on the Seattle Seahawks,’ Normani explained of the couples’ connection. 

She also divulged that her fiancé saw her Motivation music video two years before they met and declared, ‘That’s going to be my wife. That’s going to be my girlfriend one day.’

The lovebirds eventually met at a party for Ciara’s rum brand, which she had strategically coordinated.
