Post Malone Engaged to Christy Lee One Year After Romance Debut

Post Malone's Rare Insight Into Fatherhood & Past Partying Lifestyle

Now they have one more reason to say "congratulations" to Post Malone

The “Sunflower” singer and his girlfriend Christy Lee are officially engaged more than a year after they first went public with their romance in early 2025.

Lee’s friend Marina Hollyer confirmed the news on her Instagram Stories Aug. 19, posting several snaps of Malone and Lee posing together as Lee showed off her diamond ring while wearing a small veil and a sash that read, “Bride to Be.”

“My best friend in the world just got engaged,” Hollyer wrote along the photos. “Love you more than words Toph!!!”

Another friend Brooke Donovan also posted a photo of Malone and Lee sharing a kiss among a bed of roses to her Instagram Story, writing, “So happy for you both.”

E! News has reached out Malone’s reps for comment but has not heard back. 

Malone (real name Austin Post) and Lee first sparked romance rumors in January of last year when they were seen together grabbing dinner in Rome. Their international romance continued with a trip to a bar in Idaho in March before they were seen again in Paris the following month.

Throughout his time in the spotlight, Malone has done his best to keep his personal life under wraps, rarely discussing his former fiancée Hee Sung “Jamie” Park or their 4-year-old daughter.

In fact, Park’s name was only made public when she filed a petition for full physical custody of their daughter—who was referred to by the initials “DDP” in the filing—in April 2025. However, Park dropped the petition in July 2025, according to documents obtained by Rolling Stone

Still, the “Circles” singer has been candid about how much his life has changed since he became a father. 

"Being a dad, I take it a day at a time. I think it's important that way. We're learning every day,” the 31-year-old admitted to GQ in 2025, adding of his daughter, "I don't know what the hell I'm doing, and neither does she. She's just figuring it out."

He also shared that the father-daughter duo were adjusting to the everyday of their life, with his little girl loving her time on his Utah compound. 

"There's this big hallway where she can ride her bike," he shared. "She has this little toy horse, and she rides up and down and just f--king giggles the whole f--king time. It is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced in my life. I'm pretty pumped on that. It's pretty cool. It's badass to be a dad."
