Justin Herbert’s personal life has become a much bigger topic since the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback began dating singer-songwriter Madison Beer.
The pair first sparked romance rumors in 2025 after being spotted around the set of one of Beer’s music projects. Within months, their relationship became increasingly difficult to keep private, with Beer appearing at Chargers games and the couple being seen together around Los Angeles.
Their relationship reached another major milestone in July 2026 when Herbert and Beer announced that they were engaged.
The engagement came after nearly a year of dating and included a particularly meaningful detail. According to Beer, Herbert proposed on July 26, exactly one year after he had originally asked her to be his girlfriend. The couple announced the engagement publicly two days later.
From football games and basketball courts to a romantic music video, their relationship has unfolded in front of fans while still keeping many personal details between the two of them.
Who Is Madison Beer?
Madison Beer is an American singer and songwriter who has built a successful career in pop music.
She first attracted major attention as a teenager after Justin Bieber shared a video of her singing online in 2012. She later developed her own career and released music that established her as an artist in her own right.
Beer has also earned Grammy nominations during her career, adding major recognition to her work as a singer-songwriter. The Associated Press has described her as a two-time Grammy nominee.
By the time she began dating Herbert, Beer already had a large international fan base.
Her relationship with the Chargers quarterback therefore brought together two very different entertainment and sports audiences.
When Did Justin Herbert and Madison Beer Start Dating?
Herbert and Beer first sparked romance rumors in August 2025.
Reports placed the beginning of their connection around a music video shoot. Herbert was spotted on the set of one of Beer’s projects, leading to speculation that their relationship was more than professional.
At that point, neither had made a major public announcement about their relationship.
The early stage of their romance was therefore mostly pieced together through sightings and reports.
The couple eventually became more comfortable being seen together, and fans started getting clearer glimpses of their relationship.
The timing was also interesting because Herbert was entering another NFL season while Beer was continuing her music career.
Both already had demanding professional schedules, but they appeared to find time to support one another.
They Went Public at a Chargers Game
One of the biggest moments in the early stages of their relationship came when Beer was seen with Herbert at a Chargers game.
The two were photographed sharing a kiss on the sideline, giving fans a much clearer indication that they were officially together.
NFL.com reported that the couple had first been spotted together in August 2025 and that Beer later attended Chargers games, where the pair were seen together.
Their relationship quickly became something fans followed beyond football.
Beer was no longer simply a singer attending a sporting event. She was Herbert’s girlfriend and a regular presence around the Chargers quarterback.
Madison Beer Supported Herbert at Chargers Games
As their relationship continued, Beer was frequently seen supporting Herbert during his football career.
Her appearances at Chargers games gave fans occasional glimpses of their relationship, particularly during the NFL season.
For Herbert, having a famous musician as his partner naturally attracted some additional attention. But Beer also had her own career to focus on, including recording music and performing live.
The couple’s schedules could be demanding in different ways.
Herbert’s calendar revolves around NFL training, games and team commitments, while Beer has recording sessions, promotional work, concerts and touring.
Despite those competing schedules, they continued to make appearances together.
They Were Also Seen at Lakers and Dodgers Games
Their relationship has not been limited to football stadiums.
Herbert and Beer have also been seen together at Los Angeles Lakers games and Los Angeles Dodgers games.
Those outings gave the couple opportunities to spend time together outside Herbert’s NFL environment.
Los Angeles is home to several major professional sports teams, and the pair have become recognizable faces at some of the city’s sporting events.
Their appearances have also helped show that their relationship extends beyond the football season.
Rather than only seeing Beer in a Chargers suite, fans have spotted the couple enjoying other sports together.
That shared interest in Los Angeles sports has become a recurring part of their public relationship.
Justin Herbert Appeared in Madison Beer’s Lovergirl Video
The couple took their relationship into Beer’s professional world in May 2026.
Herbert appeared alongside Beer in the music video for her song “lovergirl,” released May 8, 2026.
The video features the couple in romantic scenes, making Herbert’s appearance considerably more personal than a typical celebrity cameo.
Reports described Herbert as playing Beer’s romantic interest in the video. IMDb also lists both Beer and Herbert among the stars of the 2026 music video.
For Herbert, appearing in a pop music video was a departure from his normal environment.
He is used to football fields, press conferences and NFL cameras. This time, he was appearing in a creative project connected directly to his relationship.
It also gave fans a different look at the couple’s chemistry.
Their Engagement Came in July 2026
After nearly a year together, Herbert and Beer took their relationship to the next level.
The couple announced their engagement on July 28, 2026, through social media.
Beer shared photographs from the proposal and captioned the post, “Meet my fiancé.”
The images showed Herbert down on one knee with the engagement ring, while other photographs captured the couple celebrating afterward. A sign reading “Mr. and Mrs. Herbert” was also visible in the engagement photos.
The announcement quickly attracted attention from both sports fans and music fans.
It was the first major relationship milestone that the couple had announced together in such a public way.
The Proposal Had a Special Meaning
One of the sweetest details about the engagement came from Beer herself.
During a livestream, she explained that Herbert chose a meaningful date for the proposal.
He asked her to marry him on July 26, 2026.
That date was significant because it was exactly one year after he had asked her to become his girlfriend in 2025.
The detail gave the engagement an extra personal meaning.
Instead of choosing a random date, Herbert connected the proposal to the beginning of their relationship.
Beer later described the engagement as a meaningful and emotional moment while discussing the proposal and her ring.
Madison Beer’s Engagement Ring
The engagement announcement also brought attention to Beer’s ring.
During her discussion about the engagement, Beer described the ring as an antique elongated cushion-cut design with rounded edges.
Jewelry experts cited in entertainment coverage have offered estimates of its value, although those figures are estimates rather than an officially confirmed purchase price.
The design itself appears to have been chosen with a vintage feel rather than simply focusing on size.
Beer has also spoken warmly about the ring, making it clear that the sentimental value matters alongside its appearance.
Madison Beer Has Talked About Her Relationship
While both Herbert and Beer have maintained some privacy, Beer has occasionally opened up about their relationship.
In a 2026 podcast appearance, she spoke about how absorbed she can become when spending time with her boyfriend.
Her comments offered fans a small glimpse into how she views their relationship without revealing every private detail.
That balance has continued throughout their time together.
They have appeared publicly, shared photographs and included one another in professional projects, but they have not turned every aspect of their relationship into content.
Justin Herbert and Madison Beer Have Different Careers
One reason the relationship has attracted so much interest is the contrast between their careers.
Herbert is a professional football quarterback who plays for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Beer is a recording artist who has built a career through music, songwriting and live performances.
Their professional worlds rarely overlap, except when one supports the other.
That makes Beer’s appearances at Chargers games particularly noticeable, while Herbert’s appearance in the “lovergirl” video gave fans a glimpse into Beer’s world.
The relationship has therefore developed at the intersection of sports and pop culture.
Their Relationship Has Lasted Through Busy Schedules
Dating while both people have demanding careers can be difficult.
Herbert’s football commitments require extensive preparation throughout the year, while Beer’s career involves music production, promotional appearances and touring.
Yet the pair have continued to appear together throughout those busy periods.
Herbert has also traveled during Beer’s professional commitments. NFL.com reported that Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh jokingly acknowledged Herbert’s travel plans while supporting Beer during her tour.
Those small details show that their relationship has continued alongside their individual careers rather than requiring either person to step away from their professional work.
