"Yeehaaa": Olympic champ Emily Seebohm flashes engagement ring
Married At First Sight’s Ryan Gallagher has announced his engagement to Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm.
The news comes just three months after the couple confirmed their relationship on social media.
Sharing the news of the engagement on Instagram, Ryan posted a picture of Emily flaunting her new ring with the caption, "Yeehaaa ❤️”.
The post was flooded with congratulatory messages and well wishes from friends and fans.
Ryan, 34, proposed to Emily at a dam on his farm just outside of Golbourn in NSW.
"I thought it was the right spot to do it – she loves the horses and she often swims in the dam," he told Woman's Day.
"I did get nervous though. The box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew I was proposing or she just thought I was happy to see her.”
Ryan proposed to Emily with a trilogy diamond that features two small diamonds, symbolising Emma and himself, while the central diamond represents their love.
The pair met while competing on Network 10’s The Challenge Australia in 2022, although Emily had a partner at the time.
"Obviously it wasn't a nice call to make, but I told him what was going on and that there was something there with Ryan and I didn't see the point in wasting any more time." she said.
The couple first went public with their relationship in December 2022.
Emily broke the news of the engagement to followers by sharing an image of the two, paired with the caption, "Letting you in on a little secret."
It seems as though Ryan and Emily’s chemistry is undeniable with many friends and co-stars commenting that they saw the relationship coming.
"We all knew wasn't a secret 😜 called it after week 1," MAFS' Cyrell Paule commented.
"I called this and honestly the most humble two people that bounce off each other .” one fan wrote.
The pair are yet to announce a date and location for the wedding.
