Dance Moms Alum Kalani Hilliker Engaged to Nathan Goldman
Kalani Hilliker is dancing her way into an exciting new journey.
The Dance Moms alum is officially engaged with to Nathan Goldman, saying yes to forever in a proposal alongside Italy’s Lake Como.
“A lifetime of this,” the 23-year-old captioned her August 18 post. “I couldn’t be lucky enough or more grateful to get to be your fiancé. I love you forever Nathan.”
The carousel of images featured an inside look at the proposal, including the white roses and candles that surrounded the garden terrace where Nathan popped the question, as well as the gorgeous, oval-shaped diamond ring from Brilliant Earth he gifted Kalani.
For the occasion, the dancer donned a white strapless gown that featured strings of pearl beads along the open back, accessorizing her look with dainty gold jewelry and her hair in an updo. For his part, Nathan wore a collared beige shirt, navy slacks and white sneakers.
The proposal, which comes almost five months after Kalani first hard-launched her relationship with Nathan on Instagram in April, quickly received love from many of Kalani’s former Lifetime network costars.
“SHES GETTING MARRIED,” wrote JoJo Siwa, while her mom Jessalyn Siwa added, “So so so freaking happy for you. love you so much always.”
Kalani also received love from another mother-daughter duo, Kendall Vertes and her mom Jill—who both expressed their excitement—as well as from the lead of Dance Moms herself, Abby Lee Miller.
“BEAUTIFUL!” she commented. “Congratulations sweetheart!!!!!”
But amid the flood of well wishes and attention on the pair, Kalani and Nathan also managed to revel in their happy news just the two of them.
On her Instagram Story, Kalani shared a picture of two plates of pasta, over which she wrote, “Pasta room service with my fiancé. Having the time of our lives.”
The newly engaged couple also made sure to express their gratitude to the many people wishing them well.
“Overwhelmed with love,” Kalani wrote on her Story, over an image of she and Nathan holding a bouquet of flowers. “Thank you to everyone who’s reached out. Been the best day of my life.”
