The nerves one experiences playing in an NFL game are no match to those felt when asking someone to marry you, according to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. <\/p>\n
In the wake of his engagement to pop star Madison Beer, Herbert told reporters<\/a> his proposal was “for sure” more nerve-wracking than making his first career NFL start. <\/p>\n Herbert went on to say he “thought about it a lot” when asked about the timing of the proposal to do it before the start of training camp. <\/p>\n Beer announced<\/a> the couple’s engagement on Tuesday in a post on Instagram captioned, “Meet my fianc\u00e9.”<\/p>\n Herbert and Beer went public with their relationship shortly before the start of the 2025 NFL regular season. <\/p>\n They coupled traveled around Europe during the summer when she was on tour to promote her new album, then they attended a World Cup match between Team USA and Paraguay at the Chargers’ home, SoFi Stadium, on June 12. <\/p>\n Herbert famously made his first NFL start in Week 2 of the 2020 season after Tyrod Taylor was a late scratch due to a punctured lung<\/a> from an injection by a team doctor. <\/p>\n After throwing for 311 yards in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert never relinquished the starting job. He owns a 52-43 record and has led the Chargers to the playoffs three times in six seasons. <\/p>\n
