The couple announced their engagement on Tuesday via a joint post on Instagram. In a series of snaps, the couple shared a special moment against the backdrop of a montanious, bushy landscape. In the cover picture, Rushing could be seen down on one knee, holding his ring, against the scenic cactus-filled desert landscape.

Other pictures showed the couple joyously embracing near a paved road near the spot. Power wore an ivory-colored strapless top and flowy trousers, while Rushing put on a black outfit, pairing a black jacket with a white tee underneath, along with trousers and cleats. His fiancée also flaunted her diamond ring in a picture.

Dalton Rushing, who started the year playing for Triple-A Oklahoma, was promoted to the big leagues as backup to catcher Will Smith. Rushing and Power quickly became acquainted with the Dodgers community. Power, particularly, was seen as an integral part of the Dodgers' Wives and Girlfriends squad that cheered them on throughout the postseason run.

Plenty of her new friends took to the comments to shower their love and appreciation for the newly engaged couple. This included Mookie Betts' wife, Briann, Blake Snell's wife, Haeley, Will Smith's wife, Cara, Alex Vesia's wife, Kayla, Freddie Freeman's wife, Chelsea, Tanner Scott's wife, Maddie, and Tommy Edman's wife, Kristen.

Rushing and Power met during their time at the University of Louisville. The earliest post on Instagram of the couple is from 2021, when Power welcomed Rushing, who had joined the online space. That means that the two have been dating for at least four years.

Power has been the motivating factor that pushed Rushing throughout a grueling debut season in the MLB. She cheered him when he hit a three-run homer against the San Diego Padres in a regular-season.

She celebrated the Dodgers' clinching their back-to-back World Series appearance and rallied the team on as they came from behind to force a Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays. After their win, she featured at the World Series parade alongside her future husband.
