Popular Australian model Dominique Elissa is engaged to her boyfriend of almost two years, Tom Bull.
Tom popped the question in Hawksbury River, near Sydney, on Saturday.
Dominique posted photos and a video of the momentous occasion to Instagram and showed off her stunning engagement ring.
She also shared the sweet story behind the ring – a family heirloom which has been in her family for 100 years.
The ring, which once belonged to her great grandmother, features a huge square cut diamond set in a thick gold band.
‘The ring story. Tom proposed with my great grandmas ring. My mum gave it to him when he asked for my parent’s blessing,’ she explained.

‘It’s over 100 years old, yet it’s timeless. A family heirloom that I feel so grateful to have for the rest of my life.’
Dominique proudly flaunted the precious piece in several photos as she shared a passionate kiss with her new fiancé.
The model looked every inch the blushing bride-to-be as she donned a blue and brown striped strapless dress for the occasion.
Tom got down on one knee outside the doors of a beautiful stone guesthouse set in the Australian native bushland of a historic homestead in Ebenezer.
Video footage of the moment showed Tom telling Dominique: ‘You know I love you more than anything in the entire world, don’t you?’
‘I know,’ the model happily replied as she kissed her love, who proceeded to get down on one knee as their golden retriever dog Crumble stood nearby.
‘Baby, marry me?’ he asked, to which she cried out: ‘Yes, baby!’

‘This was our first date, it lasted the whole weekend. We’d run into each other 3 times in 3 weeks, then I pulled the trigger and asked her out,’ he continued.
‘Now we’re 4 months in and she’s the most perfect yin to my yang beyond my wildest dreams.
‘I am so glad I kept searching, putting myself out there & growing. Years. Now I’m madly in love.’
Dominique later debuted Tom to her Instagram in September 2023 when she took him on a weekend getaway for his birthday.
‘Birthday weekend for my best friend and dream man @tombull,’ she captioned footage of the holiday, which saw them share a romantic moment in a hot tub.
‘You are full of life, love and passion and I’m so grateful to call you mine.’
