Frontman of the hit ‘90s rock band Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, and his longtime partner and mother of his two children, Chloe Mendel, are now finally engaged.
The two first actually met on the job. Mendel, the creative director, and co-founder of luxury outwear brand Maison Atia, was operating the musician’s Madame Zuzu’s tea shop in Highland Park, Illinois.

They started dating in 2012, welcomed their first child, Augustus Juppiter, in 2015, and then had their second one, Philomena Clementine, in 2018.
Then on September 12, 2022, on Mendel’s 30th birthday and just a month after their 10th-anniversary celebration, the then 55-year-old musician finally popped the question.

Mendel shared the good news through a sweet Instagram post. She uploaded a photo of her and her kids (with Corgan) blowing out her birthday candles. Then in the caption, she thanked her whole family, who had finally reunited, for spending the day with her.
She wrote that anyone who knows her knows that family is and will always be the most important thing to her. She then continued that getting all seven siblings in one house took over a decade, and it was definitely a day filled with many emotions.
“We lost a pet, ate great food, Augustus lost a tooth, and we enjoyed great company,” she wrote.

She ended her message with a casual drop of her Corgan proposing to her and that she did say yes to him. It will be Corgan’s second marriage after art conservator and artist Chris Fabian whom he married back in the mid-1990s.
Now that Billy Corgan and Chloe Mendel are engaged, the next news we should stay tuned for is their wedding! Hopefully, that will happen soon.
