Jepsen opened up to PEOPLE last year about how she and her now-fiancé (whose real name is Cole Marsden Greif-Neill) sparked a romance while collaborating on her 2023 album, The Loveliest Time. She said her management paired the two together, and their working relationship soon grew into more.

She described one of the album's songs, "So Right," as their "meet-cute." The track even opens with a skit about whether or not it's a "good idea" for them to hang out together after-hours.

"I would've been too shy beforehand to be like, 'Do you want to do a skit at the beginning?' But now that we're so close, it was just really fun and playful to be like, 'Let's have this very '80s drama skit at the beginning where you ask me if I should come over and I say no, but then I come anyways,' " Jepsen told PEOPLE.

"You have to get to a certain level of comfort with somebody before you can get to those really playful, joyful, experimental places," she added.

At the time, Jepsen teased that fans would soon get to hear more of the music the pair has been making together as they continue to enjoy collaborating.

"We'll go traveling somewhere, and we'll bring a little acoustic guitar," she said. "I think you'll see a lot more of our collaboration together for future projects, but ['So Right'] is our first little baby out in the world. We're both so excited."

In June 2023, the two-time Grammy Award nominee shared a "visualizer" on Instagram for her song "Shy Boy," featuring loved-up footage of herself and Cole. They can be seen dancing in the street under twinkly lights, holding hands and enjoying a nighttime boat ride together.

She gave Cole — who has worked with other artists including Beck and Anderson.Paak — a sweet shout-out in the caption, writing: "Shy Boy visualizer now available to watch on YouTube.🏆🎖️🥇 All the Academy Awards to my real life shy boy @colemgn for being so cute. 😘."

On her 37th birthday in November 2022, Jepsen posted a clip on Instagram of Cole bringing her a cake decorated with lit candles during a celebration at home.

"To my family and friends: Thanks for all the kind messages and the table full of flowers plus the constant support. I am friends and family rich in this life," she wrote.

"And to my man Cole," she added. "I wished for lots of secret things but also and most importantly just more bdays with you."
