NEW YORK — Fanatics founder and chief executive Michael Rubin is engaged to longtime partner Camille Fishel, bringing a new milestone to a relationship that began in 2016.
Rubin, 54, reportedly proposed on Thursday evening, November 12, during celebrations for Fishel’s 36th birthday. The beachside proposal was accompanied by fireworks and took place in the presence of the couple’s two daughters, Romi and Gema, according to Page Six’s report.
Rubin shared the news on Instagram with photographs from the occasion, including an image of Fishel displaying her engagement ring alongside their daughters. His caption read: “Happy bday and a little more @camillefishel” followed by heart, wink and ring emojis.
The announcement drew congratulatory messages from several high-profile friends. NBA star LeBron James, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton and singer Miguel were among those reacting to the news.
Rubin and Fishel have been together since 2016 and share two daughters. Their relationship has attracted public attention through family appearances and Rubin’s high-profile social and sporting events. A Hello! profile of Fishel previously documented her modelling work and the couple’s relationship, while Town & Country’s profile of Rubin described their family life and his business career.
Fishel, who grew up in Florida, has worked as a model and has also pursued creative interests, including art. Rubin, meanwhile, built Fanatics into a major sports merchandise, trading cards and collectibles business. The company has become a prominent player in the commercial side of professional and collegiate sports.
Rubin also has an older daughter, Kylie, from his previous marriage to Meegan Spector, which ended in divorce in 2012. Fishel and Rubin’s two daughters, Romi and Gema, were part of the birthday celebration surrounding the proposal, according to the engagement report.
After a decade together, the engagement marks a significant step for the couple. While the proposal has become a talking point among their celebrity and sports-world circles, the family-centred setting — with their children present — gave the announcement a particularly personal dimension.
