The couple made their relationship public in October 2017; Miller posted a photo of herself in a cheerleading uniform next to Young, writing, "I guess you could say I'm a pretty big fan...😉."

Young announced in a December 2021 Instagram post that he had proposed to Miller. He shared a series of photos from the proposal, writing, "What a night💫 #FutureMrsYoung💍." Young got down on one knee in front of a balloon arch and a sign that said, "Marry Me."

Miller made an Instagram post of her own and wrote, "Forever Young🤍."

The Atlanta Hawks player later told the New York Post that he was "nervous" about proposing. "I knew what she would say, obviously, but it was a nervous moment," he explained. He added that Miller had been doing the majority of the wedding planning. "She will ask me little details here and there about what I like, but I'm kind of letting her do her thing," he said.

As for the music at the wedding, he said: "I'm already a slow jams guy. We always listen to slow jams [together]. There will be good music for sure."

She and Young welcomed a son in 2022
