Michael Loyd rang in February with a romantic milestone, proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Juliet Steinhauer, during a vacation in Hawaii—and she said yes.

The couple shared the happy news on Instagram on Monday, posting a series of stunning photos from a secluded beach. The intimate setting was a fitting choice for the famously public pickleball pair, and especially meaningful given Steinhauer’s love for the beach. Loyd couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to pop the question.

Steinhauer was dressed perfectly for the moment, wearing a white, boho-style backless dress adorned with floral appliqués—made even more stunning by the sparkling new accessory on her left ring finger. And something about that white dress can’t help but make you wonder if she had a feeling the proposal was coming.

Loyd coordinated with Steinhauer in a white linen button-down, keeping the look effortlessly classic. Captioned with a simple “just you and me,” the couple looks overjoyed as they begin this next chapter together as fiancés.

What makes their story even sweeter is that they first met on the pickleball court, and Steinhauer has been by Loyd’s side ever since, supporting him as he’s continued to elevate his professional career. Click here to read more about their journey together.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We can’t wait to see what their wedding day has in store.
