Drew Afualo is engaged! Podcast host and influencer to marry longtime partner Pili Tanuvasa

Drew Afualo, known for her podcast The Comments Section and her outspoken stance against online misogyny, is set to marry her longtime partner, fitness and lifestyle coach Pili Tanuvasa. The 28-year-old shared the happy news on social media, showcasing a stunning diamond ring and a romantic proposal setup.

Afualo's announcement was met with overwhelming support, but also sparked a conversation around societal expectations of marriage. In a TikTok video, she addressed a comment questioning her seven-year relationship without a ring, asserting that there's "no timeline on dating" and that she and Tanuvasa were waiting until they were ready.

Afualo also criticized the notion that a ring equates to commitment or relationship worth, calling it "ignorant and misogynistic." She emphasized that her decision to marry was based on mutual readiness and not external pressures.

Tanuvasa, sharing his excitement on Instagram, referenced a playful rejection from Afualo 13 years ago, proving that love stories can have unexpected beginnings. The couple's engagement has resonated with many, highlighting the importance of personal choices and defying societal norms.
