After only six months of dating, Boston Celtics player Payton Pritchard proposed to his 21-year-old influencer fiancée, Emma MacDonald. The 25-year-old basketball player showcased his skills off the court as he popped the question to his fiancée on a Cape Cod, Massachusetts beachfront, presenting her with a sizable diamond. Earlier this week, Emma and her renowned athlete fiancé announced their engagement on Instagram, with the 21-year-old describing their union as a “love for a lifetime.”

The couple shared several photos online, displaying their relationship and Emma’s brand-new engagement ring. Payton, dressed in trousers and a white button-down, knelt in the sand on one knee.

The podcast presenter and influencer, Love Ya, Bye, was taken aback when she saw her famous athletic partner presenting her with a sparkling diamond. The YouTuber looked elegant with a gold necklace and a black silk outfit.

Emma said yes, and the pair grinned broadly and posed like a million bucks. They shared a kiss as Payton lifted her and embraced her.

The YouTuber posted a close-up picture of her oval-cut diamond ring on a gold band. Emma shared her emotions on Instagram immediately after the proposal. She was seen shedding tears of joy as she hugged her sister, Maggie.

The two celebrated with their friends and family after the proposal. Lexie, Payton’s sister, welcomed Emma into the family and partied with the newly engaged couple. Maggie also contributed to the celebration of the couple’s love.

Star basketball players Anthony Mathis and Brooks DeBisschop, as well as Payton’s parents, were in attendance. Friends of the couple posted pictures of the soon-to-be bride and groom while expressing their happiness at being “part of such a special weekend.”

In late 2022, Payton and Emma connected via the dating app Raya. Emma started liking Payton’s profile on the celebrity app once he created one. They met and soon developed a strong bond. In February 2023, the pair made their romance public.

The talented player, drafted by the Boston Celtics in the 2020 NBA Draft, continues to impress the crowd. Currently earning $2,612,430, he is expected to earn more than $4,000,000 in 2024.

Now, fans of basketball and Emma’s subscribers are eagerly awaiting to see what unfolds both on and off the court.
