Taylor Swift’s Ex, Connor Kennedy, Proposes to a Singer: Touching Photos & Video

Congratulations to Conor Kennedy and Giulia Be who got engaged! Wanting to share the magical moment with followers, the couple shared touching photos and a video on Instagram on August 13, highlighting their deep love for one another. This proposal comes years after Conor’s private relationship with music icon Taylor Swift.

Classy, chic, and intimate are three adjectives that describe the happy couple’s engagement. Standing in the center of a dimly lit room, surrounded by warm candles, the young Kennedy asked for the Brazilian singer’s hand in marriage.

Matching the tone of the setup, Giulia sported a white crop top and dark jeans. Aside from the gorgeous, shiny new rock on her finger, the “era amor” artist accessorized her look with pretty gold earrings and a gold bracelet.

Her dashing beau, on the other hand, rocked a white formal shirt and gray dress pants. In addition to the heartwarming snaps the duo shared of them sharing tender moments, they also posted a video of how excited they are to be betrothed to one another.

Swaying in the middle of the candles, Conor lovingly wrapped his arms around Giulia’s waist as they shared passionate kisses.

Further along in the video, Giulia, who can be heard laughing with glee and pleasant surprise, fastens her arms around Conor’s neck, holding him just as tightly as he held her. “I literally can’t believe this,” Giulia says to Conor.

“I’m dreaming. This is a dream. This is a dream,” she continues as Conor peppers her face and head with more kisses. “I’m so happy,” Giulia exclaims right before Conor swoons, “I love you so much my potato.”

Through happy tears, Giulia boasts how the day she got engaged was the best day of her life. Adding some lightheartedness to the emotional moment, she jokes about how she loves that Conor proposed to her at a time when they were both “sweaty,” “gross and disgusting,” after a long day of work.

The duo shares more kisses, further underscoring how they can’t get enough of each other. “I love you so much,” Giulia states while gazing into her beloved’s eyes, to which he responds with, “I love you too.”

Further expressing her overwhelming excitement, Giulia begins jumping up and down and dancing around while cheering “Woohoo.”

At the end of the video, she comes right up to the camera with a huge smile on her face and shows off the new bling on her finger—a stunning teardrop-shaped diamond ring.

The last picture in the couple’s Instagram carousel post gives followers another close-up view of the diamond. In this photo, Giulia and Conor hold onto each other’s hands, showing off their unique tattoos, one of which includes the word “solta,” which is the name of one of Giulia’s EPs, written on her finger.

“[Easiest] yes of all time […] 💍,” penned the “menina solta” musician in the carousel’s caption, further emphasizing the pair’s deep love and commitment.

Aside from being Conor’s new fiancée, Giulia, who was born in Rio de Janeiro, is a multi-instrumentalist artist. Just over three years into her career, she has already accomplished impressive feats.

Giulia, who can write and compose music in three different languages—Spanish, Portuguese, and English—and play both guitar and piano, is a Latin Grammy nominee. She accomplished this title at just 23 years old.

According to sources, she is also the fifth most listened-to solo female pop artist on Spotify in Brazil. She managed to garner such success after accumulating over 1.5 billion streams, which include statistics from an array of digital platforms like YouTube. Giulia is also recognized internationally.

While her engagement to Conor is new, it would appear as though the duo has been dating for some time, as they have been spotted publicly together more than once. Last year (2023), they posed for pictures together at the Roc Nation Brunch.

Earlier this year (2024), Conor and Giulia were spotted at the season 12 premiere of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” They were joined by some of Conor’s family members, namely, his dad, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Robert’s wife, Cheryl Hines, and Cheryl’s daughter, Catherine Rose Young.

Conor and Giulia’s relationship, which has been publicized in the media on more than one occasion, juxtaposes the very private relationship he shared with Taylor years ago. During the brief time they dated, Taylor previously expressed her wish to keep details concerning their romance private.

In a past interview from 2012, the “Lover” singer was asked about her relationship with Conor. Seemingly wanting to evade the dating question, Taylor looked down at her fingernails and prompted the interviewer to disclose what she knew about the public buzz.

After the interviewer told her about the dating reports and asked whether or not they were true, Taylor expressed, “I don’t talk about my personal life in that great detail. I write about it all in my songs, but when I get in an interview, it just sort of feels […] it’s not as much what I do, talking about it.”

However, she did add, “But uhm, I feel like you can share enough of your life in your music to still let people know what you’re going through and how you feel and still develop a connection without, you know, talking too many details.”

Prompting Taylor further, the interviewer brought up Conor’s grandmother, Ethel Kennedy. She mentioned that after the Kennedy icon was asked how she would feel potentially having Taylor as a granddaughter-in-law, she praised, “We should be so lucky.” Taylor then replied, “She’s fantastic. I love her.”

Although Conor and Taylor Swift didn’t end up working out, both are in happy and fulfilling relationships. Congratulations to Conor and Giulia on their beautiful engagement! We wish them nothing but the best.
