Jepsen just shared her engagement news on Instagram, showing off her ring – the pair first met when the producer worked with Jepsen on her song ‘So Right’ from her 2023 album The Loveliest Time

It seems just yesterday when the pop icon was singing “Call Me Maybe” – and now she’s engaged! Congratulations are in order for the 38-year-old, who shared the happy news through an Instagram photo dump with the caption, “Very engaged over here.”

The lucky love of her life is music producer Cole M.G.N. (Marsden Greif-Neill), who popped the question with a very unique sparkler. Experts are guessing that the stone atop the gold band of Jepsen’s engagement ring is a spinel gemstone or something known in the industry as a “stormy seas” sapphire, per The Knot.

So what else do we know about Carly Rae Jepsen’s husband-to-be, who was previously married to Ramona Gonzalez of Nite Jewel fame for 12 years?

Cole M.G.N. graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and has worked with renowned artists like his future bride, Snoop Dogg, Beck and Anderson Paak.

He was previously a member of the band Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, and is now a part of the duos Hariko Vert with musician and producer Kenny Gilmore, and Room Service with The Vaccines’ Justin Hayward-Young.

He’s won six Grammys

While Jepsen is a two-time Grammy nominee, her fiancé is a six-time winner for his work with Beck. In 2015, he won album of the year, best rock album and best engineered album in the non-classical category for Beck’s Morning Phase.

Then, in 2019, he won another two Grammys for Beck’s Colors, and in 2021, he once again took home best engineered album in the non-classical category for Beck’s Hyperspace.

It was Jepsen’s management who introduced her to the producer: he worked with her on the track “So Right” from her 2023 album The Loveliest Time. The skit you hear in the beginning of the song is actually her and Cole.
