Former Home and Away actress Kassandra Clementi has revealed some surprising personal news.
The 34-year-old, who played Maddy Osborne on the show, announced on Friday that she was engaged.
While it was the first time she shared the update with her fans, it turns out she’s been sitting on that news for quite some time — with her partner Dan McKernan actually popping the question “over a year ago”.
Posting pictures from the day of the proposal, when she was heavily pregnant with their first child, Clementi wrote: “We got ENGAGED. Just over a year ago.”
“Dan was fresh from a rescue covered in goat s***, I was waddling like I swallowed a Ford Focus, I had also drooled on my shirt during a recent nap, the sunset was beautiful (hallelujah for something nice), it was perfect and perfectly us,” she wrote.
“We’ve said ‘we should start planning a wedding’ and gestured around vaguely at least once a week with no follow through because that bulbous belly is now a giggling, crawling, centre of our universe who is better than everyone you know and who has the time.”
The actress prefaced her announcement: “I’d firstly like to state that fortunately for my midline and uterus, these pictures are old.”
Fans congratulated the couple on the belated engagement announcement.
Sunrise weather presenter Sam Mac dropped a series of love heart emojis, while fellow Home and Away star Georgie Parker wrote, “Divine, utterly divine”.
“Congratulations on starting a beautiful life together!” wrote another.
“Happiness looks good on you,” noted a third.
“Such great news love, you can see it in your faces,” agreed another follower.
