An Unexpected Pandemic Love Story
In a tale that sounds like it belongs in a romance novel, supermodel Winnie Harlow and Kyle Kuzma, an NBA player for the Milwaukee Bucks, are engaged. Their love story began in 2020, cemented by a fortuitous connection during the pandemic. Kuzma's initial attempt to reach out to Harlow through Instagram in 2019 went unnoticed, but fate isn't easily discouraged. The pair eventually sparked a connection that blossomed into a relationship, culminating in their recent engagement.
A Dream Proposal
Kuzma went all out to make his proposal an unforgettable experience. The couple took off to the dreamy Turks and Caicos for a special Valentine's Day getaway—and it was there, on February 13, 2025, that Kuzma sprung his well-planned surprise. The NBA star chartered a private jet adorned with roses to whisk Harlow away for a memorable weekend. Amidst the backdrop of a luxurious beachfront villa, he presented Harlow with an 8.5-carat oval-cut engagement ring set with baguette stones. This wasn't just any ring—Kuzma put his personal touch into its design, crafting an elegant symbol of their love.
Harlow was overjoyed, sharing the news with her fans on Instagram. Her post, captioned 'to eternity 💍♾️ #shesaidyes,' captured snippets from the proposal and a glimpse of the stunning ring. The surprises continued with a beachside engagement party, featuring both families, where a dinner, fireworks, and a DJ kept spirits high. It was a celebration befitting their unique romance.
Their story is a testament to how love can flourish in the most unexpected ways, even starting from an overlooked social media message. Harlow's eventual move from New York to Los Angeles to be with Kuzma further signifies their strong commitment. Kuzma, who was part of the Lakers' victorious 2020 NBA Championship team, now embarks on a personal championship with his future bride.
