On May 2, the Detroit Lions tight end and fullback Brock Wright made a life-changing decision in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He proposed to his girlfriend (now fiancée), Carley Johnston, sharing a heartfelt moment as he gave her a beautiful ring. Brock proposed to Carley, bringing her to tears when he got down on one knee.

Carley shared a touching message to the Lions’ tight end on Instagram after the proposal. But before diving into her message and their relationship, let’s take a quick look at who Johnston is. Well, Brock’s fiancée has connections with the world of sports, that too beyond her NFL fiancé. 

Who is Brock Wright’s fiancée, Carley Johnston?

For those who don’t know, Carley Johnston is an in-arena host and NHL reporter for the Detroit Red Wings, a role she has held since 2017. Before that, she worked at WDIV as an associate producer and news intern, beginning her reporting journey there in 2015. In 2014, she briefly worked at Telescale, a commerce-related company, but her passion for journalism pulled her back to the media world after just three months. Her interest in news likely began during her high school or college years.

Carley Johnston attended Eisenhower High School from 2008 to 2011, where she was involved in student news and the dance team. She then went on to study media at Michigan State University, working part-time as a social media marketer for Media Sandbox. Her interest in the field grew, leading her to study photo communication in Europe. Though her journalism journey briefly paused, one question remains: how did she meet the football star?

A special story of Brock Wright and Carley Johnston?

According to Carley Johnston’s Instagram, she posted her first picture with Brock Wright around 1.5 years ago. So, that could be the start of their relationship. There is no clear timeline of Carley and Brock’s relationship, along with the fact that they do not share the same college or high school. As we know, Brock Wright played for Notre Dame College and completed his college at Cy-Fair, also known as Cypress. 

The couple had clearly been dating, and their emotional connection—now set to become a lifelong journey—moved Carley Johnston to tears when Brock proposed. She responded with a heartfelt message, writing: “I must’ve done something right in life to deserve a love like this. Brock Joseph, it is such a blessing to be loved and loved by you!! I cannot wait to be your wife!!!!!!! Spending my life loving you will be the greatest thing I ever do 🤍.” The couple appears to be enjoying life to the fullest—now we’ll just have to wait and see when they officially tie the knot.
