Big Brother stars Elsa Rae, 21, and Marcus John, 22, have announced their engagement just weeks after revealing they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who struck up a romance on the reality show in September 2025, shared the joyful news on social media on Thursday.
Elsa posted a series of photos showing off her diamond engagement ring, with the couple snuggling together. Marcus proposed during an intimate picnic, where they also discovered their baby's gender. Elsa captioned the post: 'The most special ring, on the most special day, we have come so far.'
Fans flooded the comments with congratulations. Joe Baggs wrote: 'ENGAGED??!?!?!??!? WE LOVE TO SEE IT.' Another added: 'Ahhhh, it's just good news after good news, congrats guys.'
Last month, the pair announced their pregnancy on Instagram, sharing a picture of a baby scan alongside a white baby grow with the words 'and then there were three.' They captioned the post: 'We've been keeping a little secret…our bubba due October 2026! We are so very excited.'
In November 2025, following the Big Brother final, Marcus made a grand gesture by covering a hotel room with red heart balloons and rose petals, asking Elsa to be his girlfriend. The couple's romance has been closely followed by fans since their time on the show.
