During the episode, Halsey revealed that Jogia, 32, popped the question in Barcelona, where the couple first connected. “It’s kind of like where we first started hanging out, so it’s really special to us. I wasn’t sure that I was ready, but I was also kind of like, ‘You’re literally the most amazing, smartest, hottest, nicest person I’ve ever met in my life, so don’t go anywhere.’ I’m trying to figure it out," she said. She continued: "It was really sweet. Immediately afterward, [he] left to go shoot a show for like six months in Canada. Like 'OK, bye.' We haven’t really had like the chance to be like ‘engaged,’ but he’s coming home, and I think we’re gonna get to have our time then.” Who Is Halsey's Fiancé?

"I was like, well, if you love each other, then just be together...I didn't understand it. And then, I don't know, it was just something with him where I just knew I wanted to marry him.""Because I do," she continued. "I love him in such a way that I feel like we would be just as fine if we didn't [get married]. But something about that makes me wanna do it more."Jogia and Halsey were first seen together in September 2023 when they were spotted kissing in Los Angeles.
