It has been a most excellent year for Darius Rucker. Moreover, just when he thought things could not get any better, he took the social media to share life changing news. Before we get to that major reveal, let us transport back to January, when the “Wagon Wheel” singer made a cross-continental move to London, England. The lifestyle overhaul and change of scenery has been great for his soul and creativity. Apparently, Rucker has been busy channeling a new musical vibe as well as helming wine company. Fast-forward to September, and the South Carolina native updated fans on his love life by going Instagram official with his girlfriend Emily Deahl. As it turns out, the content creator and artist made the initial move across the pond with Rucker earlier this year and quietly set up house. Even though that was a major step in their relationship, they had even more to reveal. A loved-up post confirmed the couple also engaged! Whew, that is one heck of a year! Congratulations to Darius Rucker and Emily Deahl on this momentous news!
