Brittany Hockley is officially engaged to Swiss professional footballer Benjamin Siegrist.
Hockley, 36, shared the heartwarming news on her Instagram account on Wednesday, showcasing her stunning diamond ring in a series of joyful photos.
The Bachelor star also shared the thrilling news with good friends Laura Byrne and Keeshia Pettit on their Life Uncut podcast on Wednesday.
Brittany posted a heartwarming clip of the moment to her Instagram page.
The 36-year-old shocked her friends by pretending to be reading a listener email, before finally announcing the happy news was actually about her.
‘I’ve been single for the better part of ten years, and I was always the single friend watching all my friends fall in love, which made me so happy. But it was definitely hard because I love, love,’ she started.
‘I started to think maybe it wasn’t for me. Then in 2022 I met this amazing guy, but he lived overseas. My friends were really concerned because long distance is never easy and I’ve always had commitment issues, but this time it felt different and I thought he was worth it.’
‘Flash forward to now and I’ve never been happier. And last week on a beautiful island he asked me to be his wife. And I just want to know what’s a cute way to tell my friends that I’m getting married,’ Brittany read, trying to hold back tears.
‘Are you crying?’ a baffled Byrne asked Hockley, still believing her friend was reading a listener email.
Confetti quickly emerged as Hockley admitted ‘it’s me,’ before her friends screamed with excitement.
An audibly astounded Byrne quipped: ‘Jono with the confetti. You told Jono before you told us? You told Jono before you told me!?’
‘Oh my god honey, I am so happy for you. I love you so much,’ Laura added after embracing her bestie.
Brittany captioned the post: ‘Life uncut is like my family, such special people and a special part of my life. I couldn’t wait to share my news with you all and in true LU style, it was pure chaos, but possibly my favourite moment yet.’
Hockley went Instagram official with Swiss goalkeeper Benjamin in January last year with a sweet post.

The pair met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya and at the time, the goalkeeper’s soccer team, the Glasgow-based Celtic FC, was playing in Australia against Sydney FC.
They often split their time between Australia and Scotland, where Benjamin currently lives.
Last July, Benjamin revealed his plans to move to Australia to be with Brittany as they are currently making their relationship work long-distance.
In October last year, the stunner revealed to Daily Mail Australia she and Benjamin were spending Christmas and New Year’s together in Scotland.
