Carli Bybel and Brett Caprioni are starting the new year engaged. The influencer and the Vanderpump Rules alum revealed the happy news in a shared Instagram post on Friday, Jan. 2—just weeks after confirming they had reunited.
Caprioni proposed on New Year’s Eve, presenting Bybel with a dazzling oval-cut diamond ring. “The easiest yes of my life,” Bybel wrote alongside photos from the moment, adding that they were officially engaged as Teddy Swims’ You’re Still the One played in the background. Caprioni replied with a heartfelt message of his own, saying that forever still wouldn’t be long enough and calling Bybel his dream come true.
The couple shared several photos from the celebration, showing them beaming with joy. Bybel wore a beaded white dress and proudly showed off her ring while the two shared an affectionate kiss. She also posted a Story from the evening, featuring a dessert table with a cake topped by a golden “engaged” sign and a loving caption dedicated to Caprioni.
Their engagement comes less than three months after fans learned the pair were back together. Bybel and Caprioni have known each other since kindergarten and began dating in 2013, before parting ways amicably in 2017 as their lives took different directions. Years later, Bybel revealed on TikTok that they had rekindled their relationship, describing their love story as one that paused, healed, and returned stronger.
Caprioni has since spoken openly about how difficult their time apart was and how he always believed they would find their way back to each other. Now, after years of growth and patience, the couple is stepping into the future together—ringing in both a new year and a new chapter in their love story.
