Charlie Puth is rocking a new accessory.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the singer-songwriter, 32, was spotted wearing a gold band on his left ring finger while spending time on a boat in Italy with fiancée Brooke Sansone, sparking speculation that the pair got married and are on their honeymoon.

In photos of the outing, they could be seen sitting next to each other on the vessel as they took in the stunning sea views in the Lake Como area.

Puth fittingly sported a blue-and-white striped shirt and white pants for the nautical excursion, while Sansone, 25, wore a cherry print, halter-style sundress and red heeled sandals.

Puth and the public relations coordinator were first rumored to be dating after they were spotted together at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City in September 2022. One month later, the “See You Again” singer spoke about the relationship during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

He said the pair — who both grew up in New Jersey — have known each other since childhood, and shared how it has been "nice" to be with someone he has known for a "long time."

"She's always been very, very nice to me," the four-time Grammy Award nominee explained of Sansone at the time. "I would assume that when times inevitably are hard in the future — because what is life without valleys and peaks — she would be there for me as well."

He also opened up on the SiriusXM show about the challenges of navigating his fame and how Sansone has been a source of support and comfort.

"Honestly, I get so scared of people now, like, I can't really walk anywhere for whatever reason, and I think the more that happens, the more I just want to retreat to someone I've known for a long time," Puth said. "I'm not really interested in going out like I used to and being crazy."

The couple went public with their romance in December 2022, with Puth sharing two black-and-white photo strips of the couple cozying up together in a photo booth on Instagram. They later made their red carpet debut at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala in February 2023.

Puth pulled off a surprise proposal in New York City last fall amid his “Charlie” Live Experience tour. He and Sansone announced their engagement via a joint Instagram post at the time, sharing a series of photos of the couple enjoying a celebratory pizza lunch at Brooklyn hotspot Lucali.

“I flew to New York to ask my best friend to marry me, and she said yes," Puth wrote in the caption. "I am the happiest, best version of myself and it is all because of you Brookie. I love you endlessly forever and ever and ever."

Back in December, Puth spoke to PEOPLE about how wedding planning was going, and likened the experience to preparing for a music tour. "Planning a wedding is a lot like planning a tour. It's probably even more intense," he said at the time.

He went on to share that his connection with Sansone is "kind of just in the DNA."

"I've known her. I mean, she grew up one town over from me in New Jersey, and my parents know her parents," Puth told PEOPLE. "Her dad has been best friends with my dad since the third grade, so it's kind of like I'm just gaining another family right away, even before the wedding."

He added, "And they've also known me before the fame, before everything, so I can't think of a better situation, quite frankly."
