Collingwood star Josh Daicos has announced his engagement to his partner of three years Annalise Dalins after proposing on holidays in Greece.
The popular pair have become one of the AFL’s “it” couples over the past few years with the 25-year-old popping the question to his model girlfriend as they unwind after Collingwood’s season ended early.

Daicos shared a joint message to both of their Instagram audiences with the caption: “The happiest day of our lives. My girl for a lifetime.”
Daicos, who has 150,000 followers, and Dalins, who has 57,000 of her own, were inundated with well wishes.
Daicos’ brother and AFL star Nick Daicos posted: “Hugeee”, while his partner Arlette Amor wrote: “So exciting.”
Their sister Maddie celebrated: “So excited! Love you both.”
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore commented: “Congratulations.
Pies teammates including Pat Lipinski, Isaac Quaynor, Jack Crisp, Dan McStay, Oleg Markov and Tom Mitchell also shared their well wishes.
Former AFLW star and Channel 7 commentator Abbey Holmes posted: “Yay !!! Congratulations lovebirds! So happy for you guys.”
And there were countless more well wishes for the happy couple.
Earlier this year, the glamour couple were named ambassadors of the F1’s Australian Grand Prix Glamour on the Grid, speaking to the Herald Sun about how they met.
“We met each other at a bar in between lockdowns, and instantly had a connection,’’ she says.
“I had butterflies. I was very nervous, but Josh made it easy because he was so outgoing.
“We got on like a house on fire straight away! Coffee dates would run into dinner dates.
“Since then, three years later, our coffee dates are just as long.”
Dalins had been PR intern before quitting her job to focus on her modelling career with Vivien’s.
While Daicos’ 2024 AFL season wasn’t anywhere near as good as his 2023 season, where he won a premiership, was named an All-Australia for the first time, and won the club’s best and fairest trophy, his latest news is bound to make the year a whole lot better.
