Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown has won again — this time off the field. Just months after helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, Brown proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Kelsey Riley, in a jaw-dropping moment that featured none other than Grammy Award-winning artist John Legend serenading the couple during a private piano performance.
The proposal, which took place on Saturday, was documented on social media and quickly set social media buzzing. Brown’s elegant and intimate gesture was punctuated by Legend’s live rendition of a love ballad, as the couple shared their engagement news with fans and friends.
“Congratulations to you both,” Legend wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for including me.”
The celebration wasn’t just romantic — it was star-studded. A host of Brown’s Eagles teammates showed up to support him, including DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, and Nakobe Dean. Boxing standouts Danny Garcia and Stephen Fulton also made appearances, giving the event the kind of Philly flair that’s become Brown’s trademark.
The 27-year-old wideout has emerged as a cornerstone of the Eagles’ offense since arriving via trade from the Tennessee Titans in 2022. Off the field, he’s become just as prominent in the city’s social and philanthropic circles, often appearing at community events alongside Riley and their daughter.
Riley, who’s been with Brown since before his NFL career began, has been a consistent presence at games and team functions — now, she’s officially part of the Eagles family story. The couple’s engagement marks the latest in a series of personal and professional highs for Brown, who continues to deliver headline moments in Philadelphia.
For a player already wearing one ring from February’s Super Bowl win, it’s clear that AJ Brown just added another — and this one might mean even more.
