King’s engagement comes more than two years after her marriage to Andrew Ferguson ended.
On Feb. 14, 2016, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer secretly wed her Scottish beau — just three weeks after they met at a bar and one week afterannouncing their engagement.
At the time, the pressure of the spotlight was taking a toll on the nascent rock star, the daughter of comedianRob Schneider, 54, and model London King, 52.
“Before we even met, I had started kind of losing my mind. I was just searching for any kind of connection and realness … just f—— begging for love,” King previously told PEOPLE of her whirlwind marriage. “We got married three weeks to the day after we met — and you don’t know a person after three weeks. I didn’t know him, and he didn’t know me. It was a crazy time.”

A month later, on Instagram, King revealed the secret marriage whileannouncing their split. The couple briefly reunited inJanuary 2018.
She also went on to date rock musician Josh Logan during that time, but the pair also eventually called it quits.
Despite experiencing an unsuccessful marriage, King said wasn’t deterred from tying the knot again.
“I still, of course, believe in love. Totally. And I think that having that kind of belief and faith is what will bring goodness into your life… I’m a romantic,” King added, mentioning at the time that she had a new beau, but preferred to keep his identity private.
“I’ve changed a lot,” she said. “I’m finding my own self-love, and I’m inviting love, outwardly in.”
