“It has been exhausting like my life has been on hold until now,” Oetjen told The Daily Telegraph. “I love him so much.”

The new couple both say they need to get to know each other properly in a more public sense after months of having to keep their love a secret.

“I tell Ali every day that I love her because I do,” Radley said.

“Our relationship starts now. We’ve been hiding it for so long so to physically be with each other we can explore the world and do everything that normal couple’s get to do.”

She added: “We are going to give this a real crack. We feel like there is nothing that can part us. We are going to go grocery shopping, get a coffee together, do normal stuff. We’ve been hiding it for so long it is the little things that count.”

While Oetjen has made no secret of her plans to become engaged in the next six months and to have children within three years, the biggest decision the couple face now is whether or not they live in Adelaide of Melbourne when they move in together.
