The three-time Olympic champion met the Married At First Sight star on Channel 10 reality show The Challenge Australia.

The two kept their romance under wraps until they confirmed their relationship on Instagram last week.

“Letting you in on a little secret,” wrote Seebohm with an image of her and Gallagher smiling on a balcony.

At the same time Gallagher posted an image of Seebohm with her hands draped over him with a smiley face emoji.

Various stars congratulated the couple.

“Outstanding,” replied former A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw.

“Gold for Australia,” wrote comedian and presenter Dave Hughes.

Rhonda Burchmore said the announcement was “bloody magnificent”.

Seebohm explained to The Herald Sun why the two kept their relationship a secret during The Challenge.

“We thought we weren’t supposed to (say anything) for the show,” she said.

“That’s why we waited.”

Gallagher added: “We eventually got the s**ts and put our own photo up. We just did it, it’s our relationship and there’s nothing negative about it.”

Seebohm told the outlet it was unexpected to find love on the show.

“I went into The Challenge to be 100 per cent focused on winning the game, Ryan and I quickly became each others’ number one in the game,” she said.

“Ryan is a gentleman and the kindest person I have met. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.”

Gallagher took up comedy after starring in MAFS where he was matched up – and broke up – with Davina Rankin.

Seebohm previously dated fellow swimmer Mitch Larkin, before their messy split in 2018 amid cheating allegations, which he denied. She dated Brisbane breakfast radio host David “Luttsy” Lutteral for more than a year.
