Justin Herbert is already chasing a Super Bowl ring. His girlfriend, it turns out, has her own ring preferences in mind. The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback missed at least one voluntary OTA session this month to fly out to Europe for Madison Beer's ongoing "The Locket Tour." While Herbert's absence from non-mandatory workouts carries no disciplinary consequences, it did not go unnoticed by Chargers fans keeping a close eye on their QB's offseason prep.
Is Madison Beer expecting an engagement ring from Justin Herbert?
Madison Beer recently appeared on the "In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele" podcast, where the conversation turned to proposals and what she'd actually want from one. She made her position clear.
"I actually know someone that has a watch," Beer said. "She got proposed to with a watch. Which I think is like, good for you that you're so cool but I'm not that cool. I know that I'm basic with certain things. Like, I do want a ring."
She added she would "of course" want a ring if she were ever proposed to, though she stopped short of directing those comments specifically at Herbert.
The two have been dating since 2025 and have gradually gone from keeping things private to being quite open about the relationship.
Justin Herbert showed up in the music video for her song "lovergirl." They've posted about each other's birthdays. Recently, they've been photographed together regularly enough that the pairing has become a regular topic in both sports and entertainment media.
Beer also had plenty of praise for Herbert on the podcast, calling him "insanely hot" and crediting him for how he handled the early, more guarded phase of their relationship when the public attention was ramping up.
Herbert, meanwhile, is heading into a pivotal NFL season. He has never appeared in a Super Bowl, and the Chargers have never reached one in the franchise's history. Skipping a few voluntary OTA sessions is unlikely to define his preparation, but the optics of the trip fueled a weekend's worth of sports chatter nonetheless.
