Halsey Reveals the ‘Amazing’ Way Fiancé Avan Jogia Proposed in Barcelona

Avan Jogia’s proposal to Halsey was one to remember!

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the singer opened up about the special way the actor asked her to marry him in Barcelona, a city of personal significance for them. Halsey and Jogia have been together since October 2023 and got engaged nearly a year later.

Halsey, who shares 3-year-old son Ender with ex Alev Aydin, shared that she had an inkling that Jogia would propose. For their anniversary, he took her on a plane to Barcelona — “with a layover, in Canada” — but didn’t loop her in on any plans, she said.

When they got to the Spanish city, they decided to get on a boat because “we both love boats,” she added. The thought of a proposal against such a beautiful backdrop crossed her mind, but they were both “sun drunk” and very relaxed — so Halsey determined the odds of Jogia popping the question were low.

“We were sitting next to each other, and he was like, ‘Come down on the floor.’ So I got down on the floor of this boat, and he pulled out the ring,” Halsey said.

“He said, ‘What’s a little bit of marriage between friends?’ ” she added.

Fallon couldn’t contain his excitement at the story: “That’s a good line!” he exclaimed.

“And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do a little bit of marriage with you,’ ” Halsey continued. ” ‘I’d prefer to do a lot of it.’ ”

The “Bad at Love” singer previously shared details about the proposal on an episode of Call Her Daddy.

“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,” Halsey told podcast host Alex Cooper.

The singer shared that, like many, her first exposure to Jogia was on Nickelodeon, when he starred in Victorious as Beck. She often watched the show while babysitting after school, Halsey said.

Sometimes, her brothers would walk in on her watching the show.

“And they’d be like, ‘You just think Beck is cute!'” she said, adding with a smirk, “I did just think Beck was cute.”
