- Renowned music composer Hans Zimmer surprised his partner Dina De Luca with a proposal in front of an audience of approximately 20,000 people at London’s O2 Arena.

Love was in the air as the renowned music composer Hans Zimmer proposed to his partner in front of a crowd of around 20,000 people at London’s O2 Arena. This heartfelt moment occurred during the culmination of his concert, where he delighted the audience with his iconic melodies from movies such as “The Dark Knight” and “Gladiator.”
According to the Los Angeles Times, Zimmer’s now-fiancé, Dina De Luca, who is the co-owner and creative director of The Lowell, a prominent New York City hotel, gladly accepted the proposal. De Luca, previously married to real estate magnate Fouad Chartouni, was clearly touched by Zimmer’s romantic gesture.
Zimmer, who has been married twice before, has created captivating soundtracks for acclaimed films like “The Lion King” and “Dune,” which earned him Academy Awards. During his engagement speech, he lovingly referred to De Luca as “the woman I love,” as reported by the LA Times.
A fan’s video shared on Twitter captured the magical moment when the audience gave Zimmer and De Luca a resounding standing ovation as soon as De Luca accepted the proposal. The Associated Press mentioned that Zimmer, playfully, asked De Luca on stage why she thought he had called her up, before revealing his heartfelt question amidst lighthearted banter about household chores and locks.
After the proposal, the LA Times shared that Zimmer concluded the concert with his iconic track “Time” from Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece “Inception.” Earlier in the show, he had mesmerized the audience with a selection of his most beloved compositions from blockbuster films like “Gladiator” and “The Dark Knight,” the AP reported.
Insider reached out to representatives for Hans Zimmer for a comment but did not receive an immediate response, likely due to the request being made outside of regular working hours.
