Finneas Proposes to Claudia Sulewski in Sunset Moment, Announces Engagement

Finneas O'Connell is engaged to Claudia Sulewski after a sunset proposal, the musician and producer announced in a joint Instagram post with Sulewski on Wednesday. The 28-year-old, known for his work with sister Billie Eilish, shared a carousel of moments from the momentous occasion and a glimpse of the large rectangular diamond set on a silver band that will be part of the couple’s future.

The proposal followed a seven-year romance that began in 2018 when the pair connected on the dating app Raya. In the Instagram carousel, Finneas was seen going to one knee as Claudia reacted with astonishment and joy. She captioned the moment after the proposal with a note that signaled the date they were marking, and the clip then cut to scenes of the couple celebrating together—seated beside an outdoor fireplace, embracing, and later sharing a helicopter ride over a scenic landscape. The engagement was documented with close-up looks at the ring as the couple posed together on camera.

Friends and fellow artists quickly weighed in, congratulating the couple in the comments of the post and in messages to the press. Celebrities and industry peers joined fans in celebrating the news, with comments from Hailee Steinfeld and Dove Cameron among those expressing excitement, and other familiar faces such as Addison Rae, Kaia Gerber, Maddie Ziegler, Julianna Hough, and the Recording Academy offering their well wishes.

Beyond the engagement itself, the couple’s history has been well documented. Sulewski first connected with Finneas in 2018 after meeting on Raya, and their relationship has endured despite their demanding careers. The couple later purchased a home together in Los Angeles in 2019, cementing their partnership off the stage. Sulewski has collaborated professionally with Finneas as well; she directed and starred in the music video for his 2022 track Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, and the two have continued to support each other’s work in the years since.

In interviews, Finneas has highlighted the emphasis he places on companionship and teamwork in their relationship, describing how they navigate everyday challenges together—from home issues to shared goals in music and life. The engagement adds another milestone to a partnership that has also seen the couple appear at high-profile events together over the years, including red-carpet moments at the Grammys and Vanity Fair’s Oscars party.

Sulewski has also developed a close bond with Finneas’s sister, Billie Eilish, and the three have appeared together publicly at events and on social media. Their intertwined careers and family connections have been a recurring storyline in entertainment coverage, underscoring how closely their personal and professional lives have become intertwined as they expand their joint trajectory as a couple.
