Joel Creasey announces exciting personal news on air
Radio host Joel Creasey has shared the exciting news that he and his partner are now engaged after being together for seven years.
Creasey announced the news on his Instagram, also sharing the news with his co-hosts of the Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel radio show on Nova, recalling how his boyfriend, Jack Stratton-Smith, had surprised him with the proposal on their final night in Monopoli, southern Italy.
“Well, you asked what happened on my trip to Italy … I did get engaged to the love of my life after seven and a half years,” Creasey told his co-hosts and listeners on Monday.
“He finally popped the question! It was very last-minute, it was the day before we left, actually … It was just on a little rooftop and we had a couple of friends there, and I had no idea. I genuinely had no idea.”
He added, “We had many a drink that night and it was very special.”
The engagement ring reportedly took a year and a half to make, and was inspired by Creasey's favourite musical Wicked.
Creasey explained that the news of his engagement had surprised many people for an unexpected reason.
He said, “We’ve been together for ages, a lot of people were like, ‘I thought you were already married!’”
Joel and Jack started dating in 2017 after they met at an Adele concert.
