Days before her baby announcement, Nagasu also confirmed her engagement to Michael Bramante, 32, which took place over a year ago in Boston's Public Garden, sharing multiple Instagram posts with photos from the occasion.

The star posted an array of sweet photos showing the pair looking loved up in the city, with Nagasu showing off her glittering ring and kissing her husband-to-be in the images.

In one photo, the couple was all smiles while touching their noses together and standing in the park.


"We tried this thing where we told (in person) everyone that we’re engaged before posting about it on social… so this is from over a year ago. 🥰😙🤓," Nagasu captioned one of the posts.
