Things have been getting serious between them for a while now, and Moana hinted in November that she will propose to Maria soon.
Post a series of photos of the couple looking glamorous for their night out at the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards on Instagram, the pair appeared to be in love.
In one photo, Moana even appeared to be about to do just that sit on bent knee and ask the question.
In the comments section, fans noted the romantic vibe of the images, with one person asking: “How do I get tickets to the wedding?”
Moana quickly responded to the curious follower: “Watch this space!” along with a laughing emoji.

In September, Hope herself dismissed the criticism and Maria reconciled too early after her divorce from Isabella, with whom she shares two children.
An emotionally charged Moana said on Instagram that there are no set rules for when to move on if you break up.
“Can they send me the book on how to get divorced?” Moana said in a video on Instagram.
“Is there an index section in that book that tells you how long you have to wait before being separated from someone before you find happiness?”
She went on to say that the choice to move forward is hers.
“Whether I date one person or multiple people… Whatever decision I make for me is my choice. I don’t have to follow a book,” she said.

The sportswoman added that she was “the happiest in a long time” with Maria, adding that her mental health had also improved.
“If I decide to date… That’s my choice. “I don’t need anyone to tell me what’s acceptable,” she said.
The couple made the rounds at a number of Melbourne premieres, including Death of a Salesman in September.
They were spotted packing on the PDA at a restaurant in Melbourne.
Maria even introduced her father to her new love as he was photographed enjoying a meal together.
Moana split from Carlstrom last May, explaining that they had “tried everything to get their relationship back on track,” but she “wasn’t feeling the same as she used to.”
Maria also recently went through a high-profile breakup after she and her TikTok star ex-girlfriend Jorgia O’Hare announced their separation last June.
