Is Bella Thorne Engaged? The Social Media Answer Is: Yes, And… Also a Little
Yes, Bella Thorne is engaged, but as it turns out, she’s not just standard engaged; she’s the queen of extra, the empress of mutual ring-exchanging, and maybe the spokesperson for “Why do things only once if you can do them twice and post on Instagram about it?” Honestly, if you’ve been following Bella for even half a minute, flipping tradition is her middle name. (Though “Avery” is her actual one.) So, yes, Bella Thorne is engaged. Again.
I remember scrolling Instagram at 8 am, coffee in hand and contacts out of focus, only to see Bella Thorne on one knee—not on stage, not in a movie, but in sweatpants, surrounded by so many heart-shaped balloons I nearly called my HOA to ask about the helium supply.
She’s proposing to her fiancé, one year after he had already popped the question to her. Most of us just shoot our partners a text about groceries. That’s Bella—taking what’s supposed to be a milestone and doubling it for good measure. Below is an Instagram video shared on Bellathorne's page, a proposal video:

Was it confusing? Yes, at least if you read the comment sections, which ranged from “Girl power!” to “Okay but, why…again?” I’d be lying if I said I didn’t snort at someone demanding, “Girl, stand up.” The internet: forever divided on love and knee positions.
Who Is Bella Thorne’s Fiance? Meet Mark Emms
Bella Thorne’s fiancé is Mark Emms, a British producer, bar owner, and the apparent king of going with the flow. If Mark sounds familiar, maybe you’ve heard the name whispering through entertainment circles, or maybe, like me, you only figured it out after you saw his spellbound face during that second proposal video. Let me tell you, the man can act shocked; I’d hire him for a toothpaste commercial just to see the range.
Here’s what sets Mark apart:
-
He’s British, and not in the Hugh Grant, stammering sort of way more rock-‘n-roll, more “sure, let’s move to the English countryside.”
-
He’s a producer and a bar owner. I always imagine the world’s coolest engagement parties probably start at his place, with the best cocktail menu. One can only hope there’s a specialty drink called The Bella Bomb.
-
He met Bella at Cara Delevingne’s birthday bash in Ibiza, 2022. Not your average “we met at a coffee shop” couple. Immediate girlish sigh: “Love at first sight as the sun rose.” That’s straight out of a rom-com, but a bit more glittery and with better DJ sets.
When Mark proposed back in May 2023, it was with a diamond ring apparently so large it could double as a car windshield (over 10 carats, according to reports). The occasion? Bella’s California home, family in tow, and, one assumes, at least eight kinds of cake. And then, in 2025, Bella returned the favor, proposing back. Couple goals or couples therapy? Maybe both, and a round-trip ticket to emotional honesty.
Bella Thorne’s Double Proposal: Love, Candles, and Mild Internet Chaos
Bella’s proposal to Mark Emms was, in her own words (and every bold Instagram Story font she could muster): “3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now 1 year later, so did I.” It’s not exactly a riddle, but the comment section treated it like a quantum puzzle. The proposal scene was awash in candles, flower arrangements, and heart-shaped balloons. I’d wager there was confetti on the ceiling and maybe on someone’s dog.
So, why did Bella propose back? My slightly romantic, slightly mischievous read: sometimes love deserves to be marked twice. Bella orchestrated the scene herselfkneeling, smiling, and handing over a shiny ring. Mark, honestly, looked like he might dissolve into laughter, or tears, or both. He dropped to his knees in surprise, then yes, he said yes.
The next day, Bella took to her Stories to laugh off criticism: “Comments on my post are hilarious!! Half of you are like Let's not normalize proposing to your partner the other half is like Yeah, girl power! This is the sweetest!” Honestly, can relate. Every group chat ever has a similar vibe.
A few fans weren’t sure if double-proposing was necessary. Some worried Bella was trying too hard (can you really do too much for someone you love?). Others defended it: “Let her cook!” and “This is for real, girls!” One zingy comment: “Girls in 2025: he said yeessss.” You see where this is going. Gender roles: obsolete. Love: slightly performative, occasionally confusing, but honestly, who cares? At least it’s not boring.
Modern Romance, Bella-Style (And Why It’s Actually Pretty Cool)
Whether you’re a follower, a hater, or, like me, just a little entertained, there’s something contagious about Bella’s approach. Propose, re-propose, throw balloons, and invite everyone to ask questions. For every person typing “Why?” in the comment section, there’s another one plotting their candlelit living-room engagement. Love doesn’t need a user manual, just a little creativity. Also, maybe a big reel and an even bigger diamond.
Would I personally propose to someone if they’d already proposed to me? Not sure.
Depends on the candles. But I love the idea that Bella looked tradition dead in the eye and said, “Let’s do something sweet, something messy, something that gets people talking at brunch.” That’s modern romance. It’s also why we keep watching, liking, and occasionally wondering where all the helium balloons went.
So to answer the big question, the news is yes, Bella Thorne is engaged to Mark Emms. Twice, just to be sure. And if she goes for a third round, honestly, I wouldn’t bet against her.
