Classy, chic, and intimate are three adjectives that describe the happy couple's engagement. Standing in the center of a dimly lit room, surrounded by warm candles, the young Kennedy asked for the Brazilian singer's hand in marriage.

Swaying in the middle of the candles, Conor lovingly wrapped his arms around Giulia's waist as they shared passionate kisses.

Further along in the video, Giulia, who can be heard laughing with glee and pleasant surprise, fastens her arms around Conor's neck, holding him just as tightly as he held her. "I literally can't believe this," Giulia says to Conor.

"I'm dreaming. This is a dream. This is a dream," she continues as Conor peppers her face and head with more kisses. "I'm so happy," Giulia exclaims right before Conor swoons, "I love you so much my potato."

Through happy tears, Giulia boasts how the day she got engaged was the best day of her life. Adding some lightheartedness to the emotional moment, she jokes about how she loves that Conor proposed to her at a time when they were both "sweaty," "gross and disgusting," after a long day of work.

While her engagement to Conor is new, it would appear as though the duo has been dating for some time, as they have been spotted publicly together more than once. Last year (2023), they posed for pictures together at the Roc Nation Brunch.

Earlier this year (2024), Conor and Giulia were spotted at the season 12 premiere of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They were joined by some of Conor's family members, namely, his dad, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Robert's wife, Cheryl Hines, and Cheryl's daughter, Catherine Rose Young.

Conor and Giulia's relationship, which has been publicized in the media on more than one occasion, juxtaposes the very private relationship he shared with Taylor years ago. During the brief time they dated, Taylor previously expressed her wish to keep details concerning their romance private.

In a past interview from 2012, the "Lover" singer was asked about her relationship with Conor. Seemingly wanting to evade the dating question, Taylor looked down at her fingernails and prompted the interviewer to disclose what she knew about the public buzz.

After the interviewer told her about the dating reports and asked whether or not they were true, Taylor expressed, "I don't talk about my personal life in that great detail. I write about it all in my songs, but when I get in an interview, it just sort of feels [...] it's not as much what I do, talking about it."

However, she did add, "But uhm, I feel like you can share enough of your life in your music to still let people know what you're going through and how you feel and still develop a connection without, you know, talking too many details."

Prompting Taylor further, the interviewer brought up Conor's grandmother, Ethel Kennedy. She mentioned that after the Kennedy icon was asked how she would feel potentially having Taylor as a granddaughter-in-law, she praised, "We should be so lucky." Taylor then replied, "She's fantastic. I love her."
