The couple, who have been together since 2019, first met after following each other’s careers online. In a 2021 interview with Golfweek, Muni He revealed, 'He’s a really funny person.

We met up in L.A., played some golf, and that’s how it all started.'

'We started our sports as rookies and have gone through tough times together,' Albon explained. 'The highs and lows of being an athlete—I think any athlete can relate to that.' This shared experience has undoubtedly strengthened their bond, making their engagement feel like a natural next step.
The couple announced their news on social media with a heartwarming post: 'I guess we’re stuck with each other now,' they wrote, accompanied by a photo of them beaming, with Muni He proudly showing off her engagement ring. The Williams team quickly shared their well wishes, stating, 'From everyone at Atlassian Williams F1 Team, congratulations to Alex and Lily on the engagement – we wish you both every happiness as you look ahead to the next adventure together.'
