Lesbian Jesus has found her bride!
Pop singer Hayley Kiyoko, better known as Lesbian Jesus by her fans, announced today on Instagram that she proposed to her partner Becca Tilley and that Tilley said 'Yes!'
Kiyoko shared an Instagram post with the caption "My dream girl said yes to forever…" and several pictures of the engagement.
The pictures show Kiyoko dropping down on one knee to propose to Tilley, who appeared on the show The Bachelor before coming out. Tilley appears to be crying tears of joy as the two hold each other in front of a beautiful shoreline.
Kiyoko and Tilley first met in 2018 at the album release party for Kiyoko's album, Expectations, and started dating shortly after. They announced they were a couple in 2022. In 2023, they celebrated five years together.
The couple soft-launched their relationship in Kiyoko's music video for "For the Girls." In the video, Kiyoko played the star of a lesbian version of The Bachelorette (riffing on Tilley's appearance on The Bachelor). After being fought over by multiple women throughout the video, Tilley steps out of a car at the end of the video and smiles seductively at Kiyoko.
