Mariah yells into the mic, telling the crowd, “Guess I’m getting married!” as audience members cheer them on. The newly engaged couple then seal the deal with a kiss.

Recently, Mariah revealed she wanted to get married. During an interview with Power 105.1, she told hosts that she’s ready to “settle down” and eventually have a child, but at the moment, didnโ€™t want any pressure to get pregnant right away.ย 

Speaking with radio legend Angie Martinez, Mariah told her, โ€œI wanna settle down but I still wanna work. I wanna be married – thatโ€™s my plan. I canโ€™t speak for everybody but thatโ€™s my plan. Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m doing. I want at least one [baby]. Iโ€™ll start with that and see how I can manage. I wanna be married first. I really do, because I just want a commitment that doesnโ€™t involve an obligation to a baby. I want it to be out of love and not just out of responsibility.โ€

The couple have been dating for about four years but went through a breakup in October briefly after jailhouse calls of Young Thug talking about other women, and subsequent DMโ€™s to women, were released.

Mariah, 28, is from Atlanta, Georgia, as is Young Thug, who is 34. Sheโ€™s been active in music since 2018, while Young Thug has been in the industry since 2010.
