Overview

• Thorne posted an Instagram video on August 16 showing herself kneeling before Emms surrounded by candles, flowers and heart-shaped balloons to propose to her fiancé.
• She captioned the clip “3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, Now 1 year later so did I,” marking a reciprocal gesture one year after his 2023 proposal.
• Comments under the post were polarized, with critics arguing women should not propose and others praising the moment as romantic empowerment.
• In her follow-up Instagram Story, Thorne described the divided reactions as “hilarious” and noted the split between those opposing normalizing women’s proposals and those celebrating “girl power.”
• Emms originally asked Thorne to marry him in May 2023 with an emerald-cut diamond ring, and the couple have since been publicly planning their wedding.
