Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and his fiancée, Chariah Gordon, have taken a significant step in their relationship by getting engaged. The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram on Thursday, June 20, with both posting a video of the heartfelt proposal.
The Instagram captions read, “Say hello to the Future Mr. & Mrs. Hardman 👰🏽♀️🤵🏽♂️💍,” capturing the essence of their special moment. Gordon, a 29-year-old skincare brand founder, provided more details about the proposal on her social media. She initially thought she was heading out for a regular date night, dressed in a black jacket and matching sweats, as seen in her Instagram Stories.
The engagement video reveals Gordon being led into a room filled with loved ones, adorned with white rose petals and candles. A large illuminated sign reading “Will you marry me?” set the romantic scene. As she entered, musician Jon B. serenaded her with the song “I Do,” adding to the magical atmosphere.
Hardman, dressed casually in white, walked into the room and proposed to Gordon, who was visibly shocked and overjoyed. She exclaimed “Yes!” for everyone to hear, and Hardman placed a stunning marquee-shaped diamond ring on her finger. The couple then danced to Jon B.’s live performance, celebrating their engagement with a cocktail that had “MC The Hardmans” written on the foam.
The couple’s love story began in 2021, and they have since welcomed two children. Their first child, a son named Three, was born on Super Bowl Sunday, February 12, 2023. Hardman was preparing to play in the game, which the Chiefs won, when Gordon went into labor. They introduced their son to the world in an Instagram post in May 2023.
In November 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their second child, a baby girl. Although they haven’t publicly shared their daughter’s name or birthdate, she has been featured in Instagram posts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day 2024.
The engagement news comes shortly after Hardman signed a new one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a move that has excited fans, including Taylor Swift. The singer expressed her excitement on Instagram, joining the celebration from Liverpool during her Eras Tour.
The couple’s journey has been filled with memorable moments, including their appearance at the Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl ring ceremony. Gordon accompanied Hardman, wearing matching baby blue outfits, and even wore all three of Hardman’s championship rings at one point. The event was a testament to their strong bond and shared success.
As they embark on this new chapter, Mecole Hardman Jr. and Chariah Gordon continue to capture the hearts of their fans with their love story. Their engagement marks a significant milestone, and their journey together promises to be filled with more beautiful moments and shared achievements.
