Post Malone’s fiancée, Christy Lee, is pulling back the veil on the singer’s romantic proposal more than one week after their engagement made headlines.
Lee told Vogue on Friday, August 28, that Malone (real name Austin Richard Post) popped the question on August 17 at his new ranch in Utah after dropping hints that he was ring shopping earlier in the year. (News broke on August 19 that the pair were engaged after Lee was spotted with a diamond sparkler on her left hand in several photos posted by her BFFs.)
“A couple months before the proposal, Austin started casually slipping these very ‘hypothetical’ questions about rings into conversation, trying to figure out what I liked without giving himself away,” she recalled. “One day, completely out of the blue, he asked me, ‘Pear, heart, or cushion?’ I told him I’d always thought there was something so chic about an oval.”
Lee remembered telling the “Sunflower” singer, 31, that instead of a ring with diamonds around the band, she “preferred the opposite — something very simple, with a delicate, thin gold band.”
When Malone asked if there was such a thing as a ring being too big, she “jokingly told him I didn’t think so.”
Little did Lee know, the rapper was keeping track of all her answers and proposed with a custom 20-plus carat natural oval diamond ring with a gold band — just like she imagined.

“When I saw it, I was honestly speechless,” she said. “He had somehow taken all of those little conversations and created exactly what I would have chosen for myself.”
The fashion stylist, who was first linked to Malone in January 2025, noted that it was “incredibly sweet knowing how much thought he put into creating something that felt entirely my own.”
Malone’s sweet gestures didn’t end with the ring design. Lee revealed that the “Pour Me a Drink” singer planned the perfect week for her Utah full of surprises.
“Austin first surprised me with a baby Highland cow, bunnies, and chickens,” Lee told the outlet.
Malone later hosted a “beautiful intimate dinner at the ranch” with Lee’s friends and parents waiting to surprise her.

As the group dined under twinkle lights at a long table covered in white florals, a light rain began to fall.
“That’s when he proposed,” Lee said of the magical moment, adding that Malone asked for her hand in marriage while standing under a greenery arc with white flowers.
Post Malone always has his daughter on his mind. The rapper spoke about his daughter — whose name he keeps private — and showed off her initials that he has tattooed on his forehead in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning on Sunday, August 11. Malone was asked about “Yours,” a song on his new […]
The evening quickly turned into an engagement party with one of Lee’s friends pulling out a “bride to be” sash for her to wear as she and Malone posed for photos.
“There was something so special about being at our ranch, surrounded by the people we love most and all of our new little animals,” Lee concluded. “The whole evening felt incredibly intimate and personal. It was the most special moment of my life.”
Prior to his relationship with Lee, Malone was engaged to Hee Sung “Jamie” Park, with whom he shares a daughter born in May 2022. Malone and Park split in November 2024.
