Married At First Sight star Cathy Evans has announced her engagement to partner Richard after five years together.
The former reality star, 30, subtly revealed the exciting news via her Instagram Story on Sunday while on holiday with her beau.
Sharing a selfie as a newly-engaged couple, Cathy seemed thrilled with her new fiancée status.
‘First pic together as an engaged couple where I’m not sobbing,’ she wrote alongside the photo.
Cathy, who appeared on the Channel Nine dating show in 2020, later shared a separate video thanking her followers for their well wishes and congratulations.
In the clip, the New Zealand-born influencer showed off her massive oval cut diamond engagement ring that was set in gold.
‘Thank you for all the messages guys,’ she continued.
‘We are in the biggest love bubble [right now] and our friends just arrived on our trip so will be on and off socials. More to come later my loves.’
Cathy debuted her relationship with Richard in August 2020, but recently stated the pair have been together for five years.
The reality star met police officer Richard shortly after filming Nine’s social experiment.
‘I think I fell in love with every aspect of Ritchie’s being – he is so supportive and believes in me, and that makes me so excited,’ she told NW magazine in 2020.
‘We see a future together and are already thinking about what suburb we would buy or build a house in. And kids will happen. No dates yet, but stand by!’
She previously explained that she would not share many photos of them together because he was ‘very private’.
‘It’s a special day today. My boyfriend’s birthday and I don’t share him on Insta purely because I like to keep my love life private,’ she wrote.
‘People wanna ruin a good thing and I don’t want that for us. Plus he’s a private man and I respect his wishes.
‘But for once, I’ll post of us. I love you so much.’
Cathy rose to fame on the popular Australian dating show Married At First Sight in 2020.
She was paired with groom Josh Pihlak but they split during the experiment.
