Controversial influencer Jacquie Alexander announces engagement to Olympian boyfriend Nathan Ephraums ‘under the Tuscan sun’

Controversial influencer Jacquie Alexander has announced her engagement to hockey player Nathan Ephraums.

The Perth-based beauty, 31, took to Instagram on Thursday to share the happy news after watching her fiancé, 25, compete at the recent Paris Olympics with Australia’s hockey team, the Kookaburras.

Jacqui, who was holidaying with Nathan in Italy after the conclusion of the games, shared a series of loved-up images with her beau to mark the milestone.

One picture showed the fashion guru embracing her husband-to-bed on a gravel path, with her enormous engagement ring prominently featured.

Another photo showed the happy couple smiling and showing off the ring once more.

Another close up of the pair holding hands flaunted the gold band and large diamond on the ring.

Several other close-ups revealed more angles of the exquisite piece of jewellery.

In the caption to her post, Jacquie offered a simple statement: ‘Said yes under the Tuscan sun.’

Alexander runs her own fashion brand called In My Moods, which she co-owns with Ephraums.

The pair have been dating for years and have previously made headlines over their unique social media posts. 

Her engagement announcement comes months after she was slammed for being ’embarrassing’ and ‘giving all Aussies a bad name’ on the London Underground in September.

During a holiday in the English capital, Alexander shared a video of herself whipping her hair around and lip-syncing to the viral song ‘Prada’ by CASSO, D-Block Europe, and Ray.

The short clip showed the digital creator dancing around a crowded underground train and attracting annoyed glares from fellow passengers.

‘I’m in my I don’t give a f**k era,’ she captioned the video, unbothered by how her activities inconvenienced other people.

‘The confidence this gives me is unmatched.’

Alexander soon admitted that she was ‘shaking’ with anxiety immediately after she stopped filming – but that didn’t deter the thousands who criticised her for the ‘obnoxious’ behaviour.

Many called her self-centred and asked her never to do something similar again.
