Love Island Australia star Jessie Wynter has gotten engaged to Will Young, who she met when she returned for a UK season of the show in 2023.
The couple shared the exciting news on January 4th in a joint Instagram post, revealing that Will got down on one knee in early December.
“On the 9th of December, I asked Jessie to marry me. Since then, we’ve been celebrating with each other and Jessie’s family, just us, with no outside noise, exactly how we wanted it,” Will began in the announcement post.
“We wanted to soak up this moment together and be fully present before sharing it with the world. We still feel like we’re living in a dream. I can’t believe we’re engaged. My heart has never felt so full of love.”
The Love Island alum — who’s affectionately known as Farmer Will by fans — explained that he’d been planning the proposal for a year.
“Jessie deserves the world, and I can’t wait to spend my life giving it to her. Since we met on Love Island three years ago, I’ve been the happiest boy in the world. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted Jessie to be my fiancée. I just knew it had to be perfect.”
How did Farmer Will propose to Love Island’s Jessie?
Jessie is from Tasmania and made her Love Island Australia Season 2, which aired in 2019. She returned for Love Island UK, which was filmed in late 2022, where she and Farmer Will met.
After leaving the show together, Jessie relocated to the UK and lived on his family’s 700-acre farm near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire; however, they’ve done multiple trips to Australia over the past few years.
Farmer Will popped the question to his now-fiancée in her home state of Tasmania.
“I took Jessie to the east coast of Tasmania and asked her to marry me. I searched everywhere for the right place. I know how much she loves the ocean and the mountains, and there’s nowhere she loves more than home. Every time we come to Tasmania, Jessie takes me to her favourite views and just sits and admires how beautiful Tasmania is, so when I found this spot, I knew it was the one,” he explained in the Instagram post.
Farmer Will added that he and Jessie are “so incredibly happy” and thanked her for making him “the happiest man alive.”
Congrats to the adorable couple!
