Footy’s most popular couple Josh Daicos and Annalise Dalins have revealed how their romantic Greek proposal unfolded.

After sharing their happy engagement news on Sunday night, they uploaded a video of the emotional moment which happened at a dinner setting on a picturesque clifftop.

“The biggest & best surprise of my life,’’ Dalins wrote on social media, along with a pink love heart.

“The moment my best friend asked me to marry him.”

The video shows Daicos falling to one knee and proposing as Dalins is in shock and overcome with emotion.

They embrace and smile, with Dalins showing off the ring to the cameraman above.

Collingwood star gets engaged

The Collingwood premiership star and his model partner have been inundated with messages of congratulations.

Daicos and Dalins have been Melbourne’s ‘it’ couple over the past few years.

“The happiest day of our lives,’’ Daicos wrote on social media. “My girl for a lifetime.”

Glowing with excitement, they posted pictures showing off the diamond ring at sunset.

Excited messages were left by Daicos’ Magpies star brother Nick, who commented: “Hugeee” with two love hearts. His partner Arlette Amor also commented: “So exciting.”

Their sister Maddie commented: “So excited! Love you both” with two love hearts.

Teammates including Darcy Moore, Pat Lipinski, Mason Cox and Isaac Quaynor also shared in the joy, along with friends including Emma Hawkins, Brooke Blurton, Charlotte Viney, Hannah Dal Sasso, Abbey Holmes, Mikayla Crisp, Kahlia Howe, Brodie Grundy, G Flip, Lana Wilkinson, Maria Thattil and Jack Silvagni.

The glamour pair are big names in their chosen fields and joined forces in March as ambassadors for the Formula One Grand Prix’s biggest party, Glamour on the Grid.

Dalins told the Herald Sun how they met three years ago.

“We met each other at a bar in between lockdowns, and instantly had a connection,’’ she said.

“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.”

True love has certainly blossomed for the dynamic duo.

The Collingwood superstar, 25, who won a premiership and had a best and fairest winning season in 2023, and the former PR intern turned rising model, have become inseparable.

Dalins and Daicos will step out at the Brownlow on Monday week after their European holiday.
