Kassandra Clementi is engaged! Home and Away star reveals her partner Dan McKernan popped the question in secret ‘over a year ago’

Kassandra Clementi is engaged to animal sanctuary owner Dan McKernan.

The Home and Away star, 34, announced the exciting news to Instagram on Friday, revealing her partner popped the question ‘over a year ago’.

Posting some sweet photographs of the romantic proposal, she said Dan popped the question while she was heavily pregnant with their first child.

We got ENGAGED. Just over a year ago,’ Kassandra began her lengthy announcement.

‘Dan was fresh from a rescue covered in goat shit, I was waddling like I swallowed a ford focus.’

She continued: ‘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.’

Kassandra went on to say the lovebirds have not been able to start planning their wedding because they are so busy raising their first child together.

‘Who has the time?’ she said, adding that their daughter, who will turn one in May, ‘is better than everyone you know’.

Their happy snaps show a pregnant Kassandra and Dan embracing one another with a sunset behind them as they grinned from ear-to-ear.

A few of Kassandra’s famous friends flocked to the comments of her announcement to express their joy over the engagement.

Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac commented three white love heart emojis to congratulate the couple on their happy news.

Meanwhile, fellow soap star Georgie Parker wrote, ‘Divine, utterly divine,’ as American actress Constance Zimmer added love heart-eye emojis.

Little is know about Kassandra and Dan’s relationship, but they confirmed their romance in August 2022 when she posted a photo of him to her socials.

The post effectively confirmed her split from her fiancée at the time, Jacqueline Toboni.

The UnReal star, who became engaged to Jacqueline in August 2021, uploaded the snap of herself cosying up to the American animal welfare worker on the beach.

Resting her head lovingly on the tattooed hunk’s shoulder, Kassandra wrote: ‘My [love heart emoji].’

‘Australians – what are your favourite spots in/around Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide?’ she added, confirming she and Dan were going to travel across Australia.
