Conventional wisdom says it's the man who should propose to his sweetheart. However, in today's world, women are increasingly taking charge of the situation. Tired of waiting, they decided to pop the question themselves. "GoSeekNest" Magazine highlights these courageous women from the celebrity world. While their numbers may be small, they serve as a powerful reminder that there's nothing wrong with a woman making the first move.
Celebrity Women Who Proposed to Their Partners
Fight for love? Absolutely. Women are just as capable of making a marriage proposal. Of course, not every marriage we discuss here ended happily. But the issues stemmed from general incompatibility, not from who made the initial proposal.
Kristen Bell
Dax Shepard proposed to Kristen Bell in 2009. However, the couple decided to postpone their wedding until the repeal of Proposition 3 of the Marriage Protection Law. When that day came, Bell wanted to personally demonstrate their equal partnership. She took to Twitter and asked her beloved, "Will you marry me?" He said yes. The couple tied the knot in October 2013 and are now raising two daughters.
Britney Spears
Though they are no longer together, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline once shared a happy chapter. The singer once revealed that she proposed to him on a plane. They were returning from one of her tours, discussing their future and children. Suddenly, Spears asked, "Do you want to marry me?" He initially declined, feeling it wasn't the right way. But minutes later, he proposed to her, and she, of course, said yes.
Pink
Pink didn't wait for race car driver Carey Hart to pop the question. She took matters into her own hands in 2005 during a race in California. On the third lap, she held up a sign that read, "Will you marry me? I'm serious!" They married in 2006 and are now raising two daughters and a son.
Elizabeth Taylor
Given that Elizabeth Taylor was married eight times (to seven husbands), it's no surprise she proposed to at least one of them. The legendary actress asked actor Michael Wilding to marry her, and he became her second husband in 1952. They had two children but divorced in 1957.
Diana von Furstenberg
The designer had turned down Barry Diller's proposals several times. Yet from the start, she knew she wanted to spend her life with him. Unsure what to give Diller for his birthday, an idea struck her. She called him and said, "You know, if you want, on your birthday I will marry you." He replied, "Let me see if I can arrange it." They have been married since 2001.
Jennifer Hudson
Five months after wrestler David Otunga proposed to Jennifer Hudson on her 27th birthday, she returned the gesture with her own proposal on his birthday. She ordered a custom platinum ring with a handmade diamond and presented it to him. The couple was very happy, but they decided to separate in 2017.
