Will Bracey Proposes to Ally Brooke at a Private Gallery
On the evening of Monday December 18, Bracey dropped to one knee and popped the big question inside a private Manhattan art gallery. Former Fifth Harmony member Brooke had zero idea the surprise proposal was coming just days before Christmas.
“It is the best day of my life. It’s wonderful, truly wonderful,” Brooke said. “I had no idea. No idea. When he did it, I was just in pure shock.”
The couple originally first crossed paths back in 2015 when Bracey started working as Fifth Harmony’s tour manager. Romance eventually sparked later that year, gradually building into an eight-year relationship culminating in this week’s holiday engagement.
Bracey spent much of 2023 secretly planning his festive proposal in New York since the vibrant city held such meaning in their early love story’s beginnings.
“I’ve been planning it all year, and New York was always our city — it’s where we fell in love,” Bracey said. “And who’s not a fan of Christmastime in New York?”

Bracey presented Brooke with a dazzling custom diamond ring from a private Turkish jeweler. She expressed that she instantly felt fate when she first crossed paths with her future husband years ago.
“It fits like a glove, and it looks so beautiful on me. I’m just…I’m at a loss for words. I’m still in shock!” Brooke said. “I knew the moment that I…truly, when I saw him, I fell in love with him. But I knew about a year in that he was the one for me.”
After celebrating their engagement overtaking a romantic stroll reliving New York memories, Brooke excitedly looks ahead to their unfolding future together. The special moment caps a monumental year professionally as well.
In September, Brooke dropped her latest single “Gone to Bed” and recently released a holiday EP featuring collaborations with former Fifth Harmony members. Dinah Jane congratulated the couple on social media and already claimed her bridesmaid spot.
