Pairs figure skaters Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, widely known as "Riku-Ryu," have announced their engagement. The couple, who have been together for seven years, made the announcement on Instagram, with a photo of Kihara on one knee on the ice rink, with Miura smiling beside him and the ring already on her finger. The engagement comes after they won Olympic gold at the Milano Cortina Games this February.

The duo, who met through a mutual friend in 2019, have had their fair share of on-ice chemistry that has often sparked speculation about their relationship.

Their engagement announcement reads that after years of experiencing both happy and difficult moments together, they have become people who could not imagine life without each other.
