The snaps saw Jeanni, who hails from South Africa, bursting with joy as she cuddled up to her husband-to-be in front of an idyllic backdrop.

She showcased her new ring as the couple posed in a number of loved-up images.

Captioning the post, Greg penned: ‘Grew up worlds apart and now spending the rest of our lives together.’

While Jeanni added: ‘wow, absolutely blown away by all the love we have received – currently in the happiest love bubble, but thank you so so much for all your kind messages, we see and appreciate them all & I wish you all the most amazing new year.’

The pair’s post garnered plenty of congratulatory messages from fans and showbiz pals. 

The couple’s big moment comes just over two years since they first met back in 2022.

Jeanni was encouraged to slide into Greg’s DMs after meeting a group of Irish girls while travelling in Bali. 

Talking about how they got together, Greg previously explained to EVOKE: ‘The Irish girls said that they heard me on a podcast and that Jeanni should message me because we’re both quote-unquote cringy. So I’m cringy according to Irish women, and Jeanni’s cringy as well. She slid into my DMs.’

The sportsman went on to admit he initially thought he was being catfished by the blonde beauty before romance quickly blossomed for the duo.

He added: ‘I obviously thought she was catfishing me at the start. She got me on WhatsApp then, and then FaceTimed me, and then she ended up flying to Dublin.’

Concluding his recount of their love story, Greg added: ‘Two years later, she lives with me!’
