Post Malone has got engaged to his girlfriend, Christy Lee, one year after they started dating in early 2025.

Lee’s friend Marina Hollyer confirmed the news on her Instagram Stories on August 19, 2026. She posted several photos of the couple. In one of the photos, Lee flaunts her engagement ring, wearing a veil and a sash that reads “Bride to Be.” Hollyer tagged Lee in the picture and captioned it:

“My best friend in the world just got engaged. Love you more than words Toph!!!”

According to TMZ, the Sunflower artist proposed to his girlfriend in Utah on August 18, with their friends in tow.

Malone and Lee first sparked romance rumors when they were seen in January of last year grabbing dinner in Rome. It was followed by their visit to a bar in Idaho and then a trip to Paris. They briefly split after dating for a few months but rekindled their relationship in late 2025.

More details on Post Malone and Christy Lee’s on-and-off relationship timeline

At the beginning of last year, Post Malone found himself at the centre of a media frenzy when he was spotted with his new girlfriend, Christy Lee. The 31-year-old has long kept his personal life private, including details of his split with his ex-fiancée Hee Sung “Jamie” Park and about their four-year-old daughter.

Born Austin Richard Post in Syracuse, New York, Malone was raised in Grapevine, Texas, after his family moved there when he was around 9. He rose to fame in 2015 with the single White Iverson signed to Republic Records, and released his debut album Stoney the following year. Major hits include Congratulations, Rockstar, Circles and others.

The first public sighting of the pair was at the Mascagni Hotel in Rome. On January 13, 2025, they were photographed leaving the hotel after dinner. In March 2025, a fan shared a TikTok video of Post Malone and Christy Lee hanging out at a bar in Idaho. The singer reportedly smiled and waved at the camera. The fan wrote over the video:

“Post Malone randomly showing up in your small hometown bar & saying hi to you.”

It was when fans noticed him sharing light PDA with a new girl who was not Malone’s previous partner, Jamie. Later in April 2025, Malone was spotted multiple times in Paris with Lee, including dinner at Beefbar, where Malone wore a suit paired with a white shirt and Lee was seen in a dress layered with a fur jacket. They were spotted shopping on Avenue Montaigne. After their shopping spree, the pair was seen sharing a kiss.

The couple reportedly split in the middle of summer 2025 but rekindled their romance soon. It is unclear as when it actually happened until the couple regained media attention with their engagement in August 2026.

The news was confirmed by Lee’s friend Marina Hollyer, who referred to her as her “best friend” in an Instagram Story. She shared several pictures from the dreamy proposal. Another friend, Brooke Donovan, also posted a photo of Malone and Lee sharing a kiss on her Instagram Story, writing:

“So happy for you both.”

Another friend, Matthew Madonna, shared a short clip on his Instagram Stories of the couple from the evening. He also added several other pictures of them together.
