Bella Thorne Proposes to Fiancé Mark Emms a Year After Their Engagement, and Fans Aren't Happy About It

Bella Thorne's romantic gesture toward her fiancé Mark Emms has sparked debate online, as her decision to propose a year after their engagement left fans divided.

Bella Thorne shared the moment on Instagram over the weekend, posting clips of herself kneeling before Mark Emms in a setting decorated with candles, flowers, and red heart-shaped balloons.

At first, Emms appeared caught off guard by the gesture. In the video, he lowered himself to her level as Thorne revealed a ring box, before the couple exchanged a kiss and an embrace.

"3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, Now 1 year later so did I 🥴❤️," Thorne captioned the post.

While the moment was intended as a celebration of love, fan reactions in the comments were mixed. Some praised the sweet reversal of roles, while others expressed confusion.

One user wrote, "If he already proposed why did you do it lol I'm confused. [sic]" Another added, "Ok ladies let's not normalise this, okay? [sic]" A third person echoed, saying, "This one shoulda stayed in the gallery sis. [sic]"

Thorne, who rose to fame as a Disney Channel star and has since built a multifaceted career in acting, music, and directing, has been open about her relationship with Emms. The couple became engaged in 2023, just a year after meeting.
