Savannah Brinson, Chrissy Teigen, Yvette Prieto and Erin Brady all managed to snag an engagement ring from their respective mates before the close of 2011.

Miami Heat star LeBron James waited until the last hour at New Year’s Eve to propose to   Savannah Brinson. The couple have been together for eight years with two sons. James who was also celebrating his birthday said of the engagement,

“My girl, she’s very excited,” James said before adding, “It should be a surprise for any woman anytime something like that happens,” James said. “She was surprised. It was great that all the friends and family were there to bring in a new year. Even my kids were happy about it, so that’s good. … I feel good. I feel good. It’s a good point in my life right now.”

John Legend also waited for the holidays and his birthday to pop the question to his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen. John who spent Christmas with Teigen popped the question during their vacation in Maldives.

Aerosmith rocker and American Idol judge Steven Tyler wasn’t as forthcoming with his engagement as reports only surfaced when Erin was spotted in the airport with an engagement ring. It was later confirmed that Tyler proposed while on vacation in Maui.

NBA legend Michael Jordan also joined the end of the year proposal party with his engagement to Yvette Prieto, his girlfriend of three years. Michael proposed to Yvette over the Christmas weekend and the rest as they say is history!

During Sunday night’s Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Bobcats game Savannah Brinson happily showed off her engagement ring – check out the pictures below:

Congrats to all the couples!!

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
