The unexpected proposal
When Drew Taggart, a member of the popular music duo Chainsmokers, decided to propose to Brazilian model Marianne Fonseca, he knew he wanted it to be special. The couple’s love story took a romantic turn at the upscale Los Angeles restaurant Giorgio Baldi, a favorite among celebrities.
However, Marianne was blissfully unaware of the surprise that awaited her. She believed she was attending a casual dinner with her friend Ivanka Trump, only to find Taggart waiting for her amidst a stunning display of roses.
Ivanka Trump: The ultimate wingwoman
According to sources, Ivanka Trump played a crucial role in orchestrating this unforgettable moment. She cleverly disguised the proposal as a girls’ dinner, keeping the true purpose a secret from Marianne. “The truth is [Trump] invited me to a girls dinner with her,” Marianne later shared on Instagram, expressing her surprise and delight at the unexpected turn of events.
This thoughtful planning showcased not only Ivanka’s friendship but also her knack for creating memorable experiences.
Hailey Bieber’s influence on the ring choice
In addition to Ivanka’s efforts, Hailey Bieber also contributed to making the engagement special.
Sources revealed that Drew consulted Marianne’s close friends, including Hailey, to ensure the proposal was unforgettable. When it came to selecting the perfect engagement ring, Drew chose a breathtaking 5-carat elongated cushion-cut diamond, a decision influenced by Hailey’s own engagement experience.
Hailey, who got engaged to Justin Bieber in 2018, shared insights on ring preferences, helping Drew find a piece that perfectly matched Marianne’s taste.
A glimpse into their future
As the couple embarks on this new chapter together, the support from their friends highlights the importance of community and love in their lives.
Marianne, who is also the CEO of Gente Beauty, and Drew, known for his hit song “Summertime Friends,” are set to navigate their future together with the backing of their star-studded circle. This engagement not only marks a significant milestone for the couple but also showcases the power of friendship and collaboration in creating unforgettable moments.
