Metallica's James Hetfield proposes underwater during shark dive

Metallica's James Hetfield has proposed to his girlfriend underwater during a shark dive.

The official Metallica social media page shared an underwater shot of Hetfield and his now-fiancée, Adriana Gillett, with the metal frontman holding a sign that read: "Adriana Gillett, will you marry me?"

The picture was captioned, "She said yes!"

Taking to her own Instagram page, Gillett shared the same photo and included the following message: "The best birthday trip surprise. Swimming with whale sharks on Friday the 13th with the most unique, special, and romantic proposal a Pisces could ever imagine. In a sea full of fish, we caught each other. Thank you God for putting us together".

Back in 2022, TMZ splashed that Hetfield and his wife of 25 years, Francesca, were getting divorced.

Francesca later confirmed the news in a statement, saying that after 30 years of "ups and downs" but always with a lot of love, she was "extremely saddened that my marriage has come to this".

Metallica recently announced an upcoming Las Vegas Sphere residency, initially confirming a run of eight dates between 1 and 31 October. After huge demand for tickets, they added more dates, bringing the total number of shows to 24, spanning October to March 2027.
