“I can’t contain myself,” Sitar shared enthusiastically. “I’m actually still on this cloud nine.” The couple officially announced their engagement on social media on April 20; however, they had become engaged nearly a month earlier, opting to keep the news private until they were ready to share it with the world.
Reflecting on their decision to delay the announcement, Sitar explained that she and Brubaker, who have been dating since being introduced by mutual friends in March 2021, wanted to enjoy their happiness privately. “We just wanted to bask in it together,” she noted, recalling the joy of revealing their engagement to family and friends through personal calls and FaceTime chats. “It was so fun to call like one at a time and see their reactions,” she added.
The influencer also emphasised the fast-paced nature of content creation in her life. She noted that the rush to share experiences online can sometimes overshadow the opportunity to truly celebrate significant moments. “Life goes by so fast,” she lamented. “You put something out and then you have to move on to the next thing or the next content idea.”
Sitar is now looking forward to diving into her “bridal era” and has already begun to consider wedding plans. She playfully hinted at her excitement for wedding dress shopping, revealing, “I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. I would be lying if I said I didn’t already go a little.” The prospect of curating bridal content and sharing it with her vast online following adds to her enthusiasm as she transitions into this new phase of life.
The couple shared their joyful engagement announcement on social media, with Brubaker’s post featuring a whimsical black-and-white photo of them together declaring, “An announcement…” The post then revealed a colourful image of Brubaker’s oceanside proposal, accompanied by the words, “Because they’re engaged!”
Sitar enjoys a substantial online presence, boasting 1.6 million followers on Instagram and an impressive 11.6 million followers on TikTok. Meanwhile, Brubaker is not only an influencer but also a radio host on The Bru Show through the Audacy radio app. His engaging interview style has seen him secure conversations with stars such as Harry Styles and Camila Cabello. He has garnered over 4 million followers on TikTok, where he often includes fun interactions with Sitar.
As the couple prepares for what lies ahead, both seem to be savouring their relationship and cherishing the excitement that comes with planning a future together. With their engagement now public, fans can anticipate a myriad of content showcasing their journey toward marriage. Anna Sitar and Josh Brubaker are poised to capture hearts further as they embrace their upcoming wedding while continuing to grow their influence in the social media landscape.
