Josh and Hailee got engaged in November 2024 in Malibu, California. They shared their happy news in a joint post on Instagram alongside a photo of the romantic proposal, which took place on the edge of a cliff that was covered with candles and roses. 

In the December issue of her Beau Society newsletter, in which she and Josh did a   Q&A, the quarterback recalled the "funniest thing that happened on the day [they] got engaged." He said: "The funniest thing was that we woke up and were getting ready for brunch, and you jumped on the bed and said, 'Can we get married already?!? What are you waiting for??!' I replied, 'Just give me a little more time.' Little did you know I was about to propose to you…"

Josh and Hailee married on Saturday, May 31, 2025, in Santa Barbara.
