Adelaide reality star and TV presenter Alexandra Duggan received the perfect Christmas present this year – an engagement ring from partner Tiffany Papaemanouil.

The couple are holidaying in Bali, where Papaemanouil surprised Duggan on their hotel balcony on Christmas morning.

“A forever thing … officially,” Duggan captioned an Instagram post announcing the happy news.

The winner of Ten’s reality show, The Traitors, Duggan, 26, said described Papaemanouil’s proposal as “absolutely perfect”.

“The ring, proposal, and speech she made was everything that I could’ve ever asked for,” she told The Advertiser.

Duggan, also a full-time marketing manager and model, said that her partner of four years spent almost 12 months designing the ring with Adelaide’s Bell & Brunt Jewellers.

“She decided on the prettiest blue aquamarine as it’s Tiff’s birthstone – so I’ll always have a piece of her with me,” said the Discover with RAA Travel presenter and former Miss Universe Australia finalist.

“I had done a campaign shoot for Bell & Brunt and mentioned to Tiff about the brand … so she went to them to make the engagement ring because I had spoken so highly of the people involved. It was lucky I had done the shoot because they had taken all of my ring sizes!”

Duggan was one of two locals who starred on Ten’s 2022 series, The Traitors, hosted by actor Rodger Corser.

She won the competition, taking home $250,000, also revealing that she hoped to use the prizemoney to allow her and Papaemanouil, 32, to marry and start a family.

“We really want to get engaged, buy a house and have some kids … it’s quite expensive for a same sex couple to have kids and so that’s probably where most of the money would go,” Duggan said at the time.
