Post Malone Engaged to Christy Lee One Year After Debuting Romance
Just like a sunflower, Post Malone’s love for Christy Lee is growing.
So much so, in fact, that the couple are now engaged. Posting the news about Posty (a.k.a. Austin Richard Post) to Instagram Aug. 19, Lee’s BFF Marina Hollyer shared a snap that showed Malone’s new fiancée wearing a veil and bride-to-be sash while planting a kiss on his forehead and flashing her ring—a massive oval-shaped diamond sparkler that’s got fans sayin'"Wow."
Other photos featured the two standing in front of a floral arch with their pals and then dining al fresco at a table decked out with candles and white blooms.
"My best friend in the world just got engaged," Hollyer wrote alongside a pic. "Love you more than words Toph!!!"
Also among the friends to say congratulations was model Brooke Donovan, who posted a TikTok about traveling to Utah (where Malone has a luxurious home) to "surprise our best friend for her engagement." The clip showed the musician kissing Lee and donning his own groom-to-be sash as they celebrated the major moment.
Though Malone and Lee have kept much of their relationship private, he has previously shared what he’s envisioned for a wedding. Noting his "bitchin'" big day would include an ice luge and a lot of dancing, "I’d imagine everything rustic, modern, lots of camouflage," the 31-year-old told Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy in 2023. "F--k rustic, modern—I think we just do everything camouflage."
And considering Malone and Lee aren’t trying to hide their engagement, read on to learn more about her.

Who Is Post Malone’s Fiancée Christy Lee?
Having studied at Parsons School of Design in New York, Lee is a fashion stylist. According to her website, she began working under celebrity stylist Kristina Askerova and assisted with looks for stars like Bella Thorne and Brooks Nader as well as for campaigns for brands like Bloomingdale’s and Retrofête.
"My work now focuses on personal styling, editorial direction, and creative projects that connect fashion with identity," Lee wrote on her site. "I’m continuing to grow toward independent client styling, brand partnerships, runway, and larger creative direction roles. Long term, I am building a brand made by stylists, for stylists, centered around access, collaboration, and the behind-the-scenes world of fashion."
So, we’ll see what she says about a camouflage tuxedo for Malone.
Otherwise, Lee is often busy traveling, posting photos from her trips to France, Greece, Morocco, the Netherlands, Italy and more on Instagram.
How Long Have Post Malone and Christy Lee Been Dating?
Definitely more than a fortnight. Malone and Lee first sparked romance rumors in early 2025, with TMZ publishing photos from their January trip to Rome and a TikTok user posting footage of them looking cozy at a bar two months later. That April, the fashionista and the hitmaker were spotted in Paris and weeks later she posted from Coachella, where he was headlining. And while there were reports they split in June 2025, they’re now on the road to the altar.
Though Lee and Malone have yet to make an official red carpet debut, they were photographed at New York Fashion Week together in February.

Is Post Malone’s Engagement to Christy Lee His First?
No. Malone was previously engaged to Hee Sung "Jamie" Park, the Grammy nominee proposing in Las Vegas and then announcing both their engagement and the birth of their daughter in a June 2022 interview with Howard Stern. The “Circles” artist even has a tattoo of the 4-year-old’s initials, DDP, tattooed across his forehead.
But seasons change and Malone and Park’s love went cold—with them breaking up in late 2024.
One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is Malone’s protection of his privacy.
“I feel like a lot of people feel entitled to know every single detail of everyone’s life and it’s why I don’t want to post any pictures of my baby, because I want her to be able to make that decision whenever she wants to and is ready," he told CR Fashion Book in 2023. “We live in such an interestingly semi-connected world where everybody is a phone call away, but you lose a lot of the intricacies and nuance of being with the person and seeing what’s actually happening."
