PARIS, FRANCE – Love is in the air… and it’s shining brighter than the Eiffel Tower! College basketball’s rising star JT Toppin has just pulled off the most jaw-dropping, fairytale-perfect proposal – and the internet cannot get enough. The 6’9” forward, known for dominating the hardwood, just scored the most important “yes” of his life… and he did it in the city of love itself.
That’s right: JT Toppin is officially engaged to long-time girlfriend Magdalena Bellinger, and he made the move in the most romantic way imaginable. With the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the background, a private violinist serenading them under the Parisian moonlight, and cameras capturing every heart-stopping second, Toppin dropped to one knee – and social media exploded.
The Proposal That Shook Paris (and the Internet)
Eyewitnesses say it all happened around 8:37 PM local time near the iconic Pont Alexandre III, a favorite backdrop for lovers in the city. Dressed in a sleek black suit, Toppin led Magdalena on what she thought was a casual evening stroll. But what she didn’t know was that dozens of JT’s closest friends and family were hidden nearby – and a top-tier photographer team was waiting for the perfect shot.
Then, with a single signal, the violinist began playing Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect.” Toppin stopped, turned to Magdalena – wearing a stunning champagne-colored gown – and said the words that would change everything:
“From day one, I knew you were the one. And there’s no one else I want by my side – today, tomorrow, and forever. Will you marry me?”
Cue the tears. Cue the screams. Cue the flashbulbs. And of course… cue the YES.
The Ring: A $250,000 Custom Stunner
Let’s talk about that ring. Sources close to JT say he spared no expense on the custom 4.5-carat oval diamond surrounded by a halo of rare pink diamonds, set on a platinum band engraved with the coordinates of where they first met.
Estimated price? A cool $250,000. Yep – this isn’t your average promise ring. This is celebrity-level bling, and fans can’t stop zooming in on the sparkling photos already flooding Instagram.
How They Met: From Classroom Crush to Power Couple
For those just tuning in, JT and Magdalena’s love story is something out of a Netflix rom-com. The two met during their freshman year at college – he was the quiet but confident basketball phenom; she was the bright, quick-witted literature major with a passion for poetry and photography.
Their first conversation? Over spilled coffee and a shared joke about Shakespeare.
Three years, hundreds of games, road trips, late-night study sessions, and romantic getaways later – they’ve become one of the most adored young couples in college sports. And now? They’re planning a wedding that’s bound to shut down Hollywood.
Celebrities and Athletes React: “Power Couple Energy!”
The internet exploded faster than a March Madness buzzer-beater. Here’s just a taste of the celebrity reactions flooding Twitter and Instagram:
- LeBron James: “Congrats young king! That’s real love. Paris though? Cold move ”
- Angel Reese: “Stopppppp I’m cryingggg this is EVERYTHING! Congrats you two!”
- Shaquille O’Neal: “Big man with big love. Respect.”
Even Taylor Swift’s fan pages reposted the moment, comparing the proposal to a “real-life Enchanted music video.” Notably, Magdalena is a huge Swiftie – and insiders say JT even tried (unsuccessfully) to get Taylor to record a personal video message.
What’s Next for the Future Mr. and Mrs. Toppin?
Wedding bells are already ringing – at least in fans’ imaginations. While no date has been announced, sources close to the couple hint that a 2026 summer wedding in Italy or the Caribbean is already being discussed.
And as for JT’s career? With scouts watching his every move and NBA buzz getting louder by the week, this engagement adds a whole new layer to his skyrocketing fame. One sports analyst tweeted:
“JT Toppin didn’t just secure a ring on the court – he secured the ring off the court. MVP move.”
The Message That Melted Everyone’s Heart
JT later posted a carousel of images from the magical night on Instagram, captioning it:
“I found my forever in a world full of maybes. Magdalena, thank you for being my light, my peace, and my home. I love you more than words can say. Let’s write the next chapter together SheSaidYes ToppinToForever”
Magdalena replied in the comments:
“You’ve always been my greatest adventure. I said yes today… and I’ll say yes for the rest of our lives”
Cue the collective internet meltdown.
