Looks like the former Michigan quarterback has hit a jackpot recently, as for the past few weeks, all anyone can hear is JJ McCarthy in the headlines. Just two weeks ago, he led the Wolverines to their first national title since 1997, and he is back again with another exciting and big news for his fans.
In a lovely Instagram post, the college football star’s longtime girlfriend, Katya Kuropas, revealed how her boyfriend has finally popped the question for her, with their adorable snaps from the beautiful moment. And the couple are finally engaged!
For the white-themed proposal along with their adorable dog at the beach, McCarthy’s fiance wrote:

Kuropas, who has been dating McCarthy for over a decade, has been the biggest support system of his college football career. But the two didn’t make it official until he gave his commitment to the Wolverines in 2019. However, after graduating from Nazareth Academy, the couple joined rival schools based on their personal preferences. When his girlfriend became a Spartan, he joined Michigan State.
Regardless of that, their relationship kept on moving forward. And the 20-year-old Spartan never missed her boyfriend’s games at Wolverines. They often share adorable pictures of each other on their social media, and right before his NFL draft, she will be there to support him as his fiance.
