Justin Herbert has built a reputation as one of the NFL’s most reserved stars. But just days after announcing his engagement to pop singer Madison Beer, the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback couldn’t hide his excitement, calling his fianc\u00e9e “the best” and saying she’s everything he’s “always dreamed of.”<\/p>\n

The couple surprised fans by announcing their engagement in a series of romantic Instagram photos, with Beer captioning the post simply, “Meet my fianc\u00e9.” The news quickly drew congratulations from across the sports and entertainment worlds, adding another high-profile athlete-musician couple to the spotlight.<\/p>\n

During Chargers training camp, Herbert opened up about the engagement in a candid interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio, offering one of the most heartfelt glimpses fans have seen into his personal life.<\/p>\n

“It’s been so incredible,” Herbert said. “She’s changed my life, and it’s something I never thought was possible. It’s so awesome to find your person and to be able to spend your life with them. I’m excited and just can’t wait. She’s the best.”<\/p>\n

Known for giving short, football-focused answers, Herbert even laughed when he was told it was one of the longest responses he’d ever given to the media, joking that it was “the first good question” he’d been asked.<\/p>\n

He continued by describing the kind of relationship he’d always hoped to find.<\/p>\n

“It’s the best. It’s what I’ve always dreamed of,” Herbert said. “To have someone that I can share everything with and live with and trust completely, there’s no better feeling.”<\/p>\n

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Herbert’s excitement comes as no surprise. Speaking on the Up & Adams Show, Harbaugh shared that the quarterback had told the team earlier this summer he planned to propose and said everyone was thrilled for him.<\/p>\n
