Former Bachelor and I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! star Brittany Hockley has revealed a piece of huge personal news to her fans.

Brittany Hockley has announced she is engaged to her athlete boyfriend.

The Former Bachelorand I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! star took to Instagram to announce she was engaged to Swiss footballer Benjamin Siegrist on Wednesday, flashing her huge ring with a big smile on her face.

The 36-year-old, who was wearing a white dress with daring cut-outs down the side, captioned the images: “In any lifetime it’s a YES! Just two people loving each other for the rest of our lives.”

Laura Byrne, Hockley’s Life Uncut podcast co-host, was quick to wish the happy couple congratulations.

“I’M LEAKING!!!! Could not be happier for this. You deserve it all,” she said.

Meanwhile Khanh Ong, who appeared alongside Hockley on the latest season of I’m A Celeb, said; “OMG omg omg stop it. I’m so happy for you. OMG.”

Mitch Churi, a KIIS radio presenter, said: “STOP IT MY BFF IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so is @brittany_hockley !!!”

Hockley first rose to fame in 2018 when she appeared on Nick Cummins’s season of The Bachelor where he infamously did not pick anyone on the dating show.

In January 2023, Hockley posted the first image of the couple together, who have been long distance due to their work, while holidaying in Europe.

“From Paris, with love,” Hockley captioned the video. “Think I may have found me a keeper #hardestlaunch.”

The couple met in November 2022, first connecting on the celebrity dating app Raya while Siegrist’s team Celtic FC was playing in Australia.

In March, Hockley opened up in Stellar’s podcastSomething To Talk About about the unsuccessful IVF process she underwent last year.

The couple were left with three embryos – two of which were not viable, and the final one of which was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal abnormality, which meant it could not be implanted.

“I’ll never forget it, because I was so shocked, because I was so convinced that science would be on my side, and then I walked away from that with nothing. It was a real, ‘Maybe this isn’t going to work out for me’ (moment).

“As a woman, you don’t ever think you’re going to be in a position like that; (you think) that stuff (only) happens to other people. It was really hard, because my partner wants kids. I want kids. And to realise that that choice might be taken from you is the big thing.”
