The singer made the comment on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast in June, a few weeks before the couple announced their engagement on July 28. Beer, 27, and Herbert, 28, were first linked in August 2025. Their first date, she said, happened at her house “because we were scared to go out in public.
Madison Beer says Justin Herbert “came into my life at the right time,” and the timeline backs her up. She said he came at the right time. Less than a year later, Herbert is a fiancé, a music video guest and a quarterback who missed offseason work to travel with her tour. Timing is the word that matters in that line. Beer has spoken openly about the work she has put into her mental health, and on Call Her Daddy she called Herbert “fully supportive. Put the two comments together and the picture is less of a whirlwind and more of a good fit at a moment when she was ready for one. That is a reading, not a fact. We only have her side of it. She did not say he changed her life or swept her off her feet. That is a quieter compliment, and probably a more honest one.
Beer said their first date was at her house, and the first public sign came in August 2025, when Herbert was seen on the set of one of her music videos in Hancock Park. 5, when they kissed on the sideline at SoFi Stadium before the Chargers played the Washington Commanders. On July 28 they posted a joint Instagram announcement with a short caption: “Meet my fiancé.
The couple started small. Then came Oct. In a separate moment that went viral, Herbert kept a ball from hitting Beer. The engagement followed the same pattern. The NFL, the Chargers and singer Gracie Abrams sent congratulations. Photos showed Herbert proposing under a flower-filled arbor, with a sign nearby that read “Mr. and Mrs. Herbert.”
He showed up in the “Lovergirl” video this spring. “Do you need a ride to the airport?” he said. He missed part of the voluntary offseason workouts to travel with Beer on her tour, which is not a small thing for a quarterback heading into his seventh NFL season. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh handled it with a joke. Harbaugh’s response suggests the team treated it as a non-issue.
