On Christmas Day, the "Believe" singer sparked engagement rumors when she posted a photo of the music producer holding a ring, tweeting, "There r no words, Alexander, A.E."

Days later, the Grammy winner confirmed their budding romance when she tweeted a photo of Alexander—who shares 3-year-old son Slash with ex Amber Rose—captioning it with a red heart emoji. But the declaration of love didn't stop there.
