That’s right. Lesbian Jesus herself, aka Hayley Kiyoko, got down on one knee and proposed to her long-time love, Becca Tilley. The announcement came via a classic celeb soft-launch carousel on Instagram, shot by the ever-aesthetic Yik Keat. Also, yes – there’s a sparkler, and no – it’s not subtle. That rock from Ring Concierge is doing laps around the sun.
Hayley captioned the moment with, “My dream girl said yes to forever…”.
Let’s be honest – celebrity queer couples are few and far between, and even fewer feel this relatable. Hayley’s been open about her own journey through sexuality, fame, and being one of the most visible queer women in pop, while Becca – known for her stint on The Bachelor – took a little longer to go public, navigating all the complicated sh*t that comes with stepping out of hetero expectations and into the arms of Lesbian Jesus. No pressure.
When they finally shared their relationship with the world, it felt like a big, warm hug from the universe, especially for anyone who’s ever had to inch their way out of the closet or navigate a love that didn’t come with a manual.
Hayley said it best in her Teen Vogue cover story back in 2022:
“It is one thing to discover your authentic truth, but to share it takes a lot of courage, as we all know. [Becca] has had to navigate a lot of hardship in her journey, and I’ve been honoured to be by her side through it all.”
Translation: these two have been through it. And they’ve come out (pun intended) stronger, shinier, and now, engaged…We love.
Can’t wait to receive the wedding invite in the post,
