Halsey is opening up about her engagement!

The singer, 29, who recently announced her engagement to Victorious actor, Avan Jogia, shared details of the couple's special moment on the Wednesday, Oct. 30 episode of Call Her Daddy, a podcast hosted by Alex Cooper.

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.”

In the past, Halsey, who uses she/they pronouns, said she wasn't interested in the idea of marriage.

"What changed?" Cooper asked. "Avan," Halsey replied.

"I couldn't really understand the point of marrying just from, like, an emotional point of view," the singer said. "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. About one month later, Halsey posted a slideshow of images — many of which featured Jogia — on Instagram, which confirmed their relationship.

The "Bad at Love" singer confirmed their engagement on X, formerly known as Twitter. A post read, "Halsey says she hopes to marry boyfriend Avan Jogia," with a photo of the couple attached. Halsey quote-replied to the post, "***fiancé Avan Jogia."

"There was just like, this warmth and this like light just emanating off of him," Halsey told Cooper. It was so compelling. It was so alluring. I just like sitting at the table, I just wanted to lean over the table, sit closer to him. I was just so drawn to him..."

Halsey was previously in a relationship with screenwriter Alev Aydin, with whom she shares 3-year-old son, Ender Ridley. The two had "an amicable split" after four years together, calling it quits in April 2023.
