They became engaged in November 2020

The pair first announced their courtship in September 2020.

"Claire and I are excited to share that we are in a courtship," Justin said at the time.

He added: "God brought Claire in my life and I wasn’t really expecting it, but he brought her along right when I needed her. Ever since then, I just knew that she was the one. Claire has a lot of good qualities and I can sit here and tell you all of them, but there are so many good things that I see in her. I’m so blessed to have her in my life."
