"I figured this is not a ship to be missed because I will not forget this date!"
Valentine's Day is one of the most romantic holidays of the year and serves as the perfect time for couples to take the next step in their relationship. Instead of a box of chocolates or bouquet of roses, some lucky lovers end up with a marriage proposal and a diamond ring! Even celebrities have popped the big question on February 14th, making their engagement official with a grand gesture of their affection. From helicopter rides to heart-shaped rings, these Valentine's Day proposals were definitely unforgettable.
Find out which famous couples got engaged on Valentine's Day…
1. Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom
In 2019, Orlando Bloom popped the question to Katy Perry during a romantic Valentine's Day celebration. The couple enjoyed dinner together and Katy believed that they were then headed to an art show. Instead, they pulled up to a helicopter and took a ride around the city. While in the air, Orlando proposed with a ruby and diamond flower-shaped ring -- although the whole thing was a little awkward.
"We had champagne in the helicopter, and the box was in his pocket and he had written down everything he wanted to say on a note. You know, to divert, right?" Katy explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "So I'm reading it, but I'm hearing, like, the champagne is, like, broken. The bottle's everywhere… He's pulling out this box that's too big for his coat pocket. It rips his coat pocket, and his elbow goes into the champagne, and I'm like, 'No, I’m just reading the note. I know you're not doing anything!'"
Orlando was able to get it together and after Katy said yes, the helicopter landed on a rooftop where all of their friends and family were waiting.
2. Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney's romance may not have stood the test of time but an important part of their relationship was their Valentine's Day engagement. Back in 2015, Taylor popped the question with a heart-shaped ring -- and Gaga shared the happy news on Instagram.
"He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!" she captioned a photo of the ring.
The couple ultimately broke up the following year after five years together.

In 2022, Simone Biles' now-husband Jonathan Owens popped the question in a romantic Valentine's Day proposal. In photos shared on Instagram, Jonathan could be seen getting down on one knee in a gazebo, proposing to a shocked Simone. While she says she knew a proposal was eventually coming, she had no idea Jonathan had spent the past two months getting things ready.
"I thought it might happen this year but definitely not on Valentine's Day so that's why it was such a shock. The way he set up everything was just so seamless," Simone told the Today show.
7. Vince Vaughn & Kyla Weber
Vince Vaughn proposed to his wife Kyla Weber on Valentine's Day back in 2009. At the time, the couple had already agreed that they were ready to get engaged so all Vince had to do was pick the date. He says he opted for Valentine's Day partially because it would be easy to remember!
"Valentine's Day rolled around and I figured this is not a ship to be missed because I will not forget this date. So Valentine's Day was the day that I asked her," Vince shared on The Ellen Show. "[It] worked out great because it would have been kind of weird to have talked about [getting engaged] and then skipped Valentine's Day as if who knows when this thing is coming."
