Reality television favourites Will Young and Jessie Wynter have officially announced their engagement, putting an end to months of speculation from their fans. The couple, who found love on the 2023 series of Love Island, revealed the happy news on social media this Sunday.
A Dream Proposal in Tasmania
The romantic milestone took place in secret on December 9, 2025. Will chose a breathtaking spot in Jessie's native Tasmania, a location he knew she adored for its combination of ocean and mountain views. He shared a series of intimate photographs on Instagram, capturing the moment he got down on one knee to pop the question.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the photos, Will wrote: 'The love of my life said yes. 09.12.25.' He elaborated on the carefully planned event, stating he had been 'keeping the biggest secret from Jessie' and that finding the perfect location was paramount. 'Every time we come to Tasmania Jessie takes me to her favourite views... so when I found this spot, I knew it was the one,' he explained.
Celebrating in Private Before Sharing with the World
The couple decided to keep their engagement private for a period, choosing to savour the moment with Jessie's family before announcing it publicly. 'We wanted to soak up this moment together and be fully present before sharing it with the world,' Will wrote. He described the feeling as living in a dream, adding, 'My heart has never felt so full of love.'
Jessie responded to the post with equal joy, commenting: 'The most perfect day. I love you so much.' One of the shared images featured a close-up of her impressive engagement ring, while others showed the newly engaged pair celebrating their future together.
Future Plans: Weddings, a Home, and Starting a Family
This engagement confirmation follows recent revelations from the pair about their next steps. In an exclusive interview, they disclosed they are 'currently building a home' on Will's family's 700-acre farm in Buckinghamshire. They also expressed a strong desire to start a family, with Jessie noting she had ticked off her travel goals and was now ready.
They have already begun planning their nuptials, envisioning a dual celebration. The couple intends to have an intimate wedding in Tasmania for close family, followed by a larger celebratory party in the UK. 'Weddings can be stressful,' Jessie said, 'so we want a really small intimate wedding in Tasmania where we don't have to worry... we can just enjoy it.'
From their meeting on the iconic ITV2 dating show to building a life together in the countryside, Will and Jessie's relationship continues to captivate their followers. With a home underway, wedding plans in motion, and now a sparkling engagement ring, their future looks decidedly bright.
