Aussie model Ashley Hart has revealed a long-kept secret — she’s engaged.
The 36-year-old shared the special news on Instagram, revealing that she said yes to her partner, Marco Utah four months ago, only choosing to announce it publicly this week.
In her announcement, Hart shared a series of intimate photos including a glimpse of her unique engagement ring, alongside a poetic caption about “stepping in” to a new chapter.
“Here we are, stepping in,” the caption started.
“The lump that used to feel tight in my throat surrenders to a shy swallow – eyes up to meet yours – as our lips touch, I say yes.”
The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Priest, in December 2023. Hart and Utah began dating in 2020, making their relationship Instagram official later that year.
This marks Hart’s second engagement.
She was previously married to fellow model Buck Palmer, with the pair separating in 2017 after two years of marriage.
Palmer has also moved on and is currently in a relationship with Victoria’s Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio.
The couple were no strangers to PDA while sharing sweet snaps of their whirlwind trip to Japan last week.
Cuddled up in most of Ambrosio’s Instagram posts, the pair went from visiting a dog cafe to wandering through ancient temples, strolling the bustling streets, and hitting up local bars.
In a relationship Confidential didn’t see coming, the couple became Instagram official in November 2024, and appear to have been inseparable since.
In March, Ambrosio opened up about the new romance.
Hart is the older sister of Jess Hart, also a model, who is engaged to race car driver James Kirkham.
