When did Carli Bybel and Brett Caprioni get engaged? Surprise Announcement

Carli Bybel and Brett Caprioni have officially taken the next step in their relationship, announcing their engagement just months after reuniting. The influencer and former Vanderpump Rules star shared the news on Instagram on January 2, 2025, revealing that Caprioni proposed on New Year’s Eve.

The announcement came via a carousel of celebratory photos showing the couple embracing and smiling. Bybel wore a beaded white silk dress and prominently displayed her oval-cut diamond engagement ring. In her caption, she wrote:

“Easiest yes of my life!!!!!! We’re engaged!!!!!!”

Caprioni echoed the sentiment in the comments, writing:

“Forever isn’t long enough!! You are and always will be my dream come true.”

The engagement marks a new chapter in a long and storied relationship. In October 2025, the pair surprised fans by confirming they had rekindled their romance. According to Life & Style Magazine, Bybel and Caprioni have known each other since kindergarten and first began dating in 2013, when Bybel was rising as a YouTube creator and Caprioni was building his fitness brand.

The couple parted ways in 2017, with Bybel addressing the breakup candidly in a YouTube Life Update Q&A, saying:

“We are broken up. I know, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I know you guys are probably upset, but think about how I feel. It wasn’t something that was fun or ever planned or what I thought would ever happen, but it is the reality. I respect him so much as a person, and I know we’ll remain friends — hopefully forever — because we have been through so much together.”

She later added, “People change, and people grow apart.”

Caprioni also reflected on the split in his 2018 “Starting Over” video, describing the period as a challenging transition. Years later, Bybel confirmed their reunion in an October 17, 2025 birthday post on TikTok, writing:

“Some love stories don’t end… they pause, they grow, they heal & they return stronger,” she wrote in the caption. “35 trips around the sun, and mine just began again.”

Now engaged, the couple appears to be embracing a renewed future together after years of growth apart.
