New York — British actor Callum Turner has reportedly proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Ainsley Earhardt, at New York City’s Bryant Park Holiday Market. The surprise proposal was witnessed by several lucky onlookers who described the scene as “magical” and “full of emotion.”
Turner, known for his roles in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and the TV series War & Peace, is said to have popped the question in front of the iconic ice rink and festive stalls of the Bryant Park market, with the twinkling lights and seasonal atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for the intimate moment.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that Turner had been holding a small, delicately wrapped box before he knelt down and asked for Earhardt’s hand in marriage. The proposal took place in front of a modest crowd, many of whom were already bundled in scarves and winter coats, taking in the magic of the holiday season.
An onlooker shared, “It was so beautiful. They’ve always kept their relationship private, so it felt special to witness such a personal moment. Ainsley was so happy, and Callum looked over the moon. It was a real celebration of love.”
Ainsley Earhardt, the well-known Fox News personality, is the great-granddaughter of Amelia Earhart, the pioneering aviator whose legacy continues to inspire generations. Amelia Earhart, one of the most celebrated figures in aviation history, famously became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932 and vanished during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937. Her groundbreaking achievements and mysterious disappearance have made her an enduring icon.
Ainsley has spoken publicly about how her great-grandmother’s courage and determination have shaped her own approach to life. In interviews, she has often expressed deep pride in Amelia Earhart’s legacy and how it has influenced her values and aspirations.
Sources close to Earhardt's family have said that they have been eagerly anticipating this engagement, with Ainsley’s relatives offering their support for her and Turner’s relationship. The couple’s connection has been a topic of speculation for some time, though they have largely kept their private life out of the public eye.
Bryant Park, with its festive charm, has become one of New York City’s most popular spots during the holiday season. Known for its enchanting holiday market, twinkling lights, and ice skating rink, it is a perfect location for couples to celebrate the season — and now, for Callum Turner and Ainsley Earhardt, it will always be part of their love story.
Although Turner and Earhardt have been relatively private about their relationship, public appearances and social media posts in recent months suggest a deep bond between the two. The couple, who reportedly began dating in 2021, have been seen out together on a number of occasions, often radiating happiness and affection.
No official statement has been made by either Turner or Earhardt’s representatives, but the news of their engagement has quickly captured the attention of fans and followers. With their shared love for travel, adventure, and life’s possibilities — values that mirror Earhardt’s admiration for her great-grandmother's daring spirit — the couple seems poised to embark on an exciting future together.
