Congrats are in order! A new decade means new proposals, and we couldn’t be more excited for these celebrities who got engaged in 2020.
Wilmer Valderrama and Amanda Pacheco were the first couple to announce their plans to tie the knot after the That ’70s Show alum dropped to one knee on New Year’s Day. “’It’s just us now’ 01-01-2020,” the actor’s beloved shared on Instagram with a photo from Wilmer’s beachside proposal. The following December, they revealed they are expecting baby No. 1.
Additionally, Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev announced their engagement in January, only to put their wedding plans on hold after Nikki found out she was expecting baby No. 1 mere weeks later.
“When I got engaged, the one thing I would have loved to do was the wedding planning,” the former professional wrestler told Life & Style in April. “But I was so shocked when I found out I got pregnant.”
Explaining the crazy timeline, Nikki said, “I found out literally like less than two weeks later or two weeks later, and it just rocked us. I told Artem, I was like, ‘Artem, we have this baby, we cannot do wedding planning because I just need to wrap my head around, like, I’m going to be a mom in less than nine months!’”
Despite the timing, the E! reality star is thrilled all her dreams are coming true. “You know, when you pray and put it out in the universe, it’s like it all just hit me at once! I always wanted to be a wife and a mom and here it all is!” Their son, Matteo, was born on July 31.
While most engagements come with joy, others come with a dose of drama. Aaron Carter revealed he and girlfriend Melanie Martin got engaged after only five months of dating and plenty of breakups in between. The pair first began dating in January and heated up quickly considering the former child star got his lady’s name tattooed on his face. In March, Melanie was arrested for domestic violence and was released on $50,000 bond. The following day, Aaron revealed the couple split.
In April, Aaron confirmed he dropped the charges against Melanie and they were back together. They shared they were expecting their first baby only to sadly report they suffered a miscarriage in June.
It’s been a whirlwind of a year! Scroll below to see more stars who got engaged in 2020.
