Timm Hanly, the former Bachelorette, has proposed to his longtime love Briana De La Motte.
Timm, 30, announced the news on his Instagram account on Sunday, with a snapshot of the couple hugging in a font of rose pedals spelling out ‘I ❤️ you’.
‘It was always you, and it always will be,’ he captioned the photo, which was instantly flooded with likes and comments from his reality star pals.
Bachelor In Paradise star Jessica Brody wrote: ‘Amazing! Congratulations guys ❤️’
Former Love Island star Anna McEvoy commented: ‘Ahhhhhh this is the BEST NEWS. SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH ❤️❤️’.
‘Congratulations guys!’ wrote Bachelorette co-star Ciarran Stott and Jamie Doran.
The couple has been in an on-again, off-again relationship for the past seven years, and reconciled a few weeks following Timm’s departure from Bachelor In Paradise.
While on Paradise, he was previously linked to Brittany Hockley; however, the couple split up shortly after leaving Fiji together just a few episodes in.
Despite his appearances on two of Australia’s most popular reality dating series, Timm is said to have struggled to get over Briana.
Timm revealed to Daily Mail Australia at the time that keeping their rekindled romance a secret during his run on two dating shows was difficult.
‘Hiding it was tougher than putting it out there,’ he stated at the time.
‘Briana has been hiding for a few months now. She has earned the right to tell the world that we are together and in love.
‘It’s natural to want everyone to see how much you adore someone.’
Timm made their relationship public soon after the show ended when he hired Briana to be the face of his new clothing line, Front Runner.
He said the decision to engage his fiancée was made to show her how important she was to him.
