Charlie Puth announced his engagement to childhood friend Brooke Sansone, less than one year after they went public with their relationship.
“I flew to New York to ask my best friend to marry me, and she said ‘yes,’” the “Attention” artist, 31, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, September 7. “I am the happiest, best version of myself and it is all because of you Brookie. I love you endlessly forever and ever and ever.”
Alongside his sweet caption, Charlie posted a photo of him and Brooke smiling at a phone while she held up a wine glass and showed off her stunning engagement ring. The bauble appears to be a diamond teardrop.
In the second slide of Charlie’s carousel post, Brooke’s ring was in full view as she took a slice of pizza. The third snapshot featured an adorable picture of the future bride and groom sharing a cheesy slice together.
The “How Long” singer made his and the marketing coordinator’s relationship Instagram official in December 2022. Charlie uploaded a comical clip of him and Brooke sharing a NSFW tongue kiss and laughing. Two months later, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Grammys in February.
Charlie previously opened up about his and Brooke’s relationship, which goes back to their childhood.
“[She’s] someone that I grew up with,” he explained on Sirius XM’s The Howard Stern Show in October 2022. “She’s always been very, very nice to me. I would assume that when times inevitably are hard in the future — because what is life without valleys and peaks — she would be there for me as well.”
The pair grew up in New Jersey, and Charlie noted that it was “nice” to have known Brooke for a “long time” before he catapulted to stardom in the music industry.
Though he and Brooke didn’t go public with their romance until late 2022, the couple were first linked earlier that summer. They were spotted attending New York City’s Global Citizen Festival in September 2022.
Charlie has been in the spotlight for several years, but Brooke has a more low-key career. She works as a digital marketing and public relations coordinator.
