On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, former NFL star Anthony Barr proposed to longtime girlfriend DJ Millie (real name Chelsea Miller) on a mega yacht as part of a picturesque scene plucked straight from the movies.

The moment, which Millie, 19, shared in a beautiful Instagram post, included a spectacular oval-cut diamond and took place on the bow of the boat as Barr held her in his arms.There was no hesitation from Millie, and she immediately accepted, capping the moment off with the date: "8.10.25." The post circulated through social media like champagne bubbles, resulting in an outpour of king and queen congrats from both celebrities and fans.

A proposal set against the ocean horizon

The couple selected a beautiful area on the ocean to celebrate this event, making the yacht their floating lovebird nest. The pair were pictured in a set of Millie snaps where gently rippling waves lapped in the background and coastal sunlight glowed, very cinematic. It is a wordless scene, the horizon is infinite, and there are two who are perfectly close, embarking on new chapters of their lives as one unit. A close-up of the ring, an oval-cut diamond set in a classic setting, brought a timeless elegance to the moment.

Anthony Barr embraces life after football

Tony Barr, his starting at linebacker, made for what was supposed to be a special 10-year run in the NFL (Minnesota Vikings Hall of Famer). All-Pro outside linebacker/defensive end Anthony Barr retired on August 4, 2025. He was named to four Pro Bowls in his career and totaled 18.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles, and five picks. Instead, his path resembles that of many who have traded in the cleats for engagement rings, as he establishes new life goals and priorities that stretch beyond the confines of a football field.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles-based DJ Millie, not solely as an artist, but also as the daughter of legendary bassist Bryson Miller, has made a name for herself in the realm of the entertainment and nightlife industry. This engagement will be especially exciting for those who have quietly followed their story over the years, as their relationship, despite the public confirmation of it in 2023, was kept pretty private.Fans and friends were quick to flood the announcement with love. Singer JoJo, among others, chimed in with messages like, “Love this for you soooooooo much!!!!” underscoring the heartfelt support this couple continues to inspire.
