Normani is not done with her solo career after teasing 'the best is yet to come'
Normani teased "the best is still yet to come" on the first anniversary of her debut solo album, Dopamine.
The Fifth Harmony star has reflected on the release of the star-studded 2024 record - which featured Starrah, Gunna, James Blake and Cardi B, with contributions from Brandy and Victoria Monét - and hinted more solo music is to come.
The 29-year-old singer also admitted the LP got her through "some of the most challenging moments" of her life so far.
Normani wrote on her Instagram Story to mark the milestone on June 14: "HAPPY ONE YEAR DOPAMINE you were such a labor of love and carried me through some of the most challenging moments in my life. thank you to everyone involved and most importantly my fans. I LOVE YOU and the best is still YET TO COME. (sic)"
Meanwhile, in March, the Wild Side singer's engagement to sportsman DK Metcalf was revealed when the wide receiver described his fiancee while celebrating his trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
In a video posted on Instagram, the 27-year-old footballer said: 'Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me. Can't wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation.'
The post also included two photos of the pair posing alongside a Steelers helmet, with Normani offering a brief glimpse of her ring.
And during a press conference, DK - whose real name is DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf - showed off his partner's sparkler, urging her to "hold that rock up, baby".
The former Seattle Seahawks player revealed he had popped the question in front of both of their families.
He said: 'My family and her family was in Houston.
"It was my sister's spring break and [I] just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with a ring.'
The singer confirmed her relationship with DK on Instagram in July 2023, and later revealed they had been introduced by Ciara and her husband, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
She told Apple Music: 'We actually met through Ciara and Russ. If you could trust a couple [to set you up], that would be the couple.'

Royals mark Prince William's birthday by sharing photo
King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Prince William's birthday by sharing a photo of the royal on the Royal Family's Instagram and X profiles. The monarch, 76, and wife Camilla, 77, posted the snap of the future king kneeling in a field on Saturday as William turned 43, with the image also shared earlier this year during his visit to farmland owned by the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath. Charles and Camilla captioned the snap, which showed William smiling as he sat on a rock wall: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!" The caption was followed by a balloon and confetti emoji to mark the celebration. William has also marked his 43rd birthday with a furry celebration - posing for a new photograph alongside four black cocker spaniel puppies. "It's a very happy birthday," he said in a caption alongside a snap of him with his pets posted on his and wife Catherine's Instagram page. He added: "Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies." The photograph, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, earlier this month at Windsor, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official social media accounts on Friday morning. It showed the Prince of Wales surrounded by the playful pups, who were revealed last month by The Sun to be the offspring of the family's pet spaniel Orla. The photo was posted with a caption featuring the initials of the couple's children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - along with Orla. The new additions to the royal household were born earlier this year, although their names - and the identity of their father - have not yet been revealed. According to The Sun, Orla, who joined the family in 2020, was originally a gift from Catherine's brother James Middleton, 37, a dog breeder who also bred their late dog Lupo and Orla's parents. A source told The Sun at the time: "Mother and babies are doing well." The couple's children are said to have quickly bonded with the puppies. Last year, the Royal Family marked William's birthday by posting a childhood photo of the royal in his father's arms. Catherine also shared a personal image at the time showing William enjoying time on a beach with their children. The birthday celebration comes amid Catherine's ongoing return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. She recently pulled out of her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, with Kensington Palace confirming her recovery remains the priority.
