On Thursday, NFL wide receiver, DK Metcalf, signed a $100 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At the signing, DK announced that he and pop star Normani were engaged. The Steelers shared photos of a smiling Normani with DK after he signed his contract.
DK’s deal with the Steelers possibly reunites him with his former Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson.
Russell is rumored to have urged the Steelers to sign DK after he asked to be traded from the Seahawks last week.
According to reports, the Steelers aren’t willing to pay Russell $38 million a year on a contract extension.
Russell is set to meet with the NY Giants on Friday, March 14, about the starting quarterback position.
But the 37-year-old father-of-3 might be convinced to settle for less money from the Steelers since DK will be his teammate.
Russell and DK are close like brothers. Russ and his wife, pop star Ciara reportedly played matchmaker for DK and Normani.
During an interview with Apple Music in June 2024, Normani explained how she and DK first met.
“We actually met through Ciara and Russ,” Normani said. “It’s like, if you could trust a couple [to set you up], that would be the couple.”
Normani said Ciara invited her to a party – and she wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“[Ciara] was really adamant about coming [to the party],” Normani recalled. “I just knew it was something else because she was very adamant, and when I was on the way, she was like, ‘Oh yeah, your boy’s gonna be there.'”
