In one video shared, the deck of the boat was seen decorated with white roses as a man in a suit played the violin.

St. Brown and Adams began dating shortly after meeting each other during their sophomore year of high school. In December 2025, the couple purchased a home together in Michigan after Adams graduated from nursing school in August 2024.
In February, St. Brown opened up to PEOPLE about his 10-year relationship with Adams, saying, “People either fall in love or they don’t. I think for me, it’s just being myself. You can’t please everyone at the end of the day. And that’s with everyone. So, for me, it’s just being myself each and every day.”
He added of having Adams supporting his NFL career, “It’s been amazing having my girl by my side. My family has been so supportive of me throughout my career.”
