Kansas City, December 15, 2025 – In a moment straight out of a Hollywood rom-com, Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco turned GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium into the ultimate proposal spot last night. After a grueling practice session wrapping up the team’s preparation for the playoff push, Pacheco orchestrated a surprise that left his longtime girlfriend, Ciarra Claudette Ortiz, in tears – and the internet in absolute meltdown.
The 26-year-old star, known for his explosive runs and unbreakable spirit on the gridiron, posted a short but stunning video on X (formerly Twitter) that has already racked up millions of views overnight.
Pacheco drops to one knee at the 50-yard line, pulling out a breathtaking diamond ring. With emotion in his voice, he says: “Ciarra Claudette Ortiz, you’ve been my strength through everything – the drafts, the injuries, the Super Bowls. You’re the love of my life. Will you marry me?” Ciarra, visibly shocked and tearing up, nods yes as the team erupts in celebration.
From Rumors to Reality: A Love Story Years in the Making
Pacheco and Ciarra, both from New Jersey roots, have been together for years, with whispers dating back to his Rutgers days. Fans have long speculated based on subtle social media hints and sightings at games, but the ultra-private Pacheco never confirmed anything – until now.
“Ciarra has been my rock,” Pacheco captioned the video. “From the highs to the lows, she’s always there. Love of my life. She said YES! 💍 #PachecoProposal”
The post exploded immediately, with #PachecoProposal trending No. 1 worldwide. Mahomes, serving as unofficial witness and hype man, commented: “My boy did it big! Congrats fam! ❤️” as teammates piled on with fire emojis and celebration videos.
Chiefs Kingdom Reacts: From Shock to Pure Joy
Fans flooded the comments: “Finally! We’ve been waiting for this!” and “Arrowhead proposals hit different 🔥”. Old rumors about Ciarra – from TikTok anniversary posts to game-day sightings – were vindicated as supporters shared collages of “evidence” from years past.
Ciarra, 28, kept a low profile but reposted the video with heart emojis, adding fuel to the frenzy. Sources close to the couple say the wedding is planned for summer 2026 back in New Jersey, keeping it intimate with family and close friends.
As the Chiefs chase another Super Bowl in the 2025 season, Pacheco now has extra motivation. “This is the best win of my life,” he told reporters briefly after practice. With his fiancée by his side, the No. 10 is ready to run even harder.
Congratulations to Isiah Pacheco and Ciarra Claudette Ortiz on their engagement! Chiefs Kingdom couldn’t be happier for this power couple.
