Failing to find love on Married At First Sight in 2018, Ryan knew Emily was his future when he got down on one knee after their whirlwind four-month romance.

He proposed to her next to a dam on her farm near Goulburn, NSW, with a diamond trilogy ring from Goulburn’s Zantis Jewellers.

The Olympic swimmer said she previously hinted that this was her dream place to get engaged.

The happy couple, who met at The Challenge Australia last August, publicly announced their engagement earlier this month.

“He told me that he had asked my dad, so he definitely knew it was coming, that day, he was very cute and nervous about it, even though he knew it was happening,” he said.

The couple plan to have a ‘laid back’ wedding in Emily’s home state of Queensland in 2024.

Ryan, whose MAFS relationship with Davina Rankin in season five made headlines after she kissed a co-star, said she instantly knew Emily was “the one.”

“When you know you know,” Ryan said Women’s Day while talking about the proposal.

Ryan, who couldn’t find love on Married At First Sight in 2018, but knew Emily was his future when he got down on one knee after their whirlwind four-month romance.

Although I got nervous. The box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew she was proposing or she just thought she was happy to see her!’

When the couple met on The Challenge, Emily was already in a relationship.

However, she said there were instant sparks between her and Ryan, so she called it off with her then-boyfriend.

“Obviously it wasn’t a good decision, but I told him what was going on and that there was something there with Ryan and I didn’t see the point of wasting any more time,” he said.

She debuted this mystery man on Instagram in May 2021 following her split from Brisbane radio host David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral in early 2021.

Before dating Luttsy, Emily was in a long-term relationship with Olympic swimmer Mitch Larkin.

The high-profile couple dated for nearly three years before their acrimonious split in 2018.

Emily revealed heartbreaking details about her split on an episode of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! during a chat, which she ironically went with Rankin, the TV girlfriend of her fellow camper Ryan.

Emily claimed that she “realized he was cheating” with “another swimmer”, something Mitch has always vehemently denied.

When the couple met on The Challenge, Emily was already in a relationship, so she broke up with her then-boyfriend.

The couple’s two-year romance ended in 2018 amid unproven allegations that Mitch had been unfaithful, something he has always strongly denied.

In 2018, he told The Courier Mail: ‘I didn’t cheat. I absolutely did not cheat. Breaking up with her was one of the hardest things I could do, because I adored her.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Emily said that despite her previous high-profile relationships and their fallout, she is comfortable being herself in public with Ryan.

“I think that’s something that I’ve probably never had before, where I can have all these versions of myself and the person fully accepts all of that.”
