Aussie snowboarding star Scotty James engaged to F1 heiress

Australian snowboarding world champion Scotty James has announced he is engaged to the daughter of the boss of an F1 team.

Australian snowboarder Scotty James has announced he is engaged to Canadian singer and F1 heiress Chloe Stroll.

James got down on one knee in the snow in Switzerland, where he is training in preparation for February’s Winter Olympics.

The couple, who celebrated their two year anniversary in April, announced the happy news on Monday on their respective social media accounts.

“Hey, we’re getting married … everyone this is my fiancée,” James said in a video posted to his Instagram.

“This is my fiancé,” Stroll screamed in delight in the video.

She captioned her post: “Forever” accompanied by a ring emoji, along with a photo of the moment James proposed in the snow.

Scotty James popped the question to Chloe Stroll in Switzerland.

Chloe Stroll is an aspiring musician.

Stroll is the sister of Aston Martin Formula One driver Lance Stroll and daughter of Lawrence Stroll, the executive chairman of Aston Martin’s F1 team. He is believed to be worth AUD $4.2 billion.

Chloe recently revealed Lance had actually set her up with Scotty and they met in New York.

“Lance actually called me and said, ‘I think I just found the guy you’re going to marry’,” she told the Herald Sun.

“It was kind of strange. I had a conference in Park City (Utah), which was where his next competition was the same weekend and a lot of random things happened.

“Scotty was very cute. We dated for about four months, or as he likes to say, we got to know each other, before he officially asked me to be his girlfriend.”

“I just connected with her in New York and went out to dinner with her at a place called Motel Morris in Chelsea and the rest is history,’’ James recalled.

“She’s quite a talented musician.

“It’s been really cool watching her do her thing. She’s always had a huge passion for music and it’s the industry she wants to be a part of. She’s really enjoying it.”

James was Australia’s flag-bearer at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, where he won a bronze medal in the halfpipe.

The 27-year-old is aiming to do even better at the 2022 Games in just a few months in Beijing.

“It’s the elephant in the room at the moment but I’m very excited for the Games and feeling really good on my snowboard and I’ve got an amazing team behind me,’’ James said.

“To be the best snowboarder that I can, right now I’m really happy and healthy so we’ll see what happens.”
