Former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr traded his jersey for a jeweler’s box and has already created a picture-perfect moment with his longtime girlfriend, DJ Millie. Now it’s just a matter of time before they frame the picture and hang it in their bedroom.

Anthony Barr’s Romantic Yacht Proposal
The former UCLA alum officiallyhung up his cleats just last month. So, nobody expected him to pull off a proposal aboard a luxury yacht less than 30 days into retirement.
Anthony Barr Puts a Diamond Ring on DJ Millie in Luxury Yacht
Barr, 33, got down on one knee with an oval-cut diamond that caught as much attention as his pass coverage once did. It went down exactly as scripted, with Barr orchestrating the moment on the bow of what the couple dubbed their “Love Boat.”
Now the moment became the most highlighted reel ever for the former linebacker as the ocean served as the backdrop for what turned into an immediate “yes” to his question.
Miller, daughter of legendary bassist Bryson Miller, shared the moment with her followers through an Instagram postcaptioned“8.10.25 💍.” Seems like it was the exact date she got the engagement proposal from four-time Pro Bowler, but we, the audience, got the news late.
The tiny oval-cut diamond ring was taking the most light of the moment as Millie proudly shared some close-ups. The former Pro Bowl,who played just one season for the Dallas Cowboys, spared no expense on the piece, which appears to match the scale of his NFL contract earnings over his 10-season career.
And the yacht setting added the only needed Hollywood touch that fits Miller’s entertainment industry background. As a Los Angeles-based DJ, she’s no stranger to high-profile moments, though this one adds a special place in her memory book.
Celebrities, Fans and Friends Congratulate the Couple
The announcement triggered a cascade of congratulations across the NFL family and entertainment world. Former teammate Eric Kendricks kept it very short with a “❤️” comment, showing they are still very much in touch.
But Kendricks’ wife Ally was not stingy. She went deeper to cement couple’s place in the tight-knit Vikings family circle. Her remark: “FAMILY!!!!!!! you’re stuck with us forever @djmillie and i couldn’t be happier about it! Love you guys.”
Grammy-nominated singer JoJo brought the star power with her comment, penning, “Love this for you soooooooo much!!!!” The enthusiasm from celebrities outside football shows how Miller’s entertainment connections have embraced Barr.
Sports journalist Taylor Rooks added her professional blessing, calling them “My favorite soulmates. LOVE YOU.”
Yvette Garcia wrote “Awww congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕” and Kitty Ca$h brought the humor: “Sorry that rock smacked meeeeee in my face 😭😭 CONGRATSSSSSSS.”
The response was overwhelming from both the football and entertainment industries. When the former Viking-based DJ and his lovely bride finally tie their knot, there won’t be any shortage of blessings for this lovely couple.
