It comes after the Bigger hit-maker revealed that it took him 15 attempts for Lou to pop the question to his long-time girlfriend.

He told New Idea he would often ask Lou to marry him but it was just him being romantic, so when he finally proposed for real, she wasn’t sure what to say. 

‘We already knew that we were going to get married. It wasn’t a matter of if but when,’ he said.

‘So that was my joke, but I never was joking, I was like, ‘Will you marry me?’ and she goes, ‘Yes,’ but when I actually asked her [for real], I was like, ‘No, really, I’m asking you properly now.’

‘And then I just said my little thing and got emotional and said: ‘Will you marry me?’ and she said ‘Yes’.’ 

Stan announced their engagement in his new music video in September, which showcased his beautiful wedding.

Stan and Lou, who have been together since 2013, exchanged vows in August in New Zealand, nine months after announcing their engagement.

Lou’s son was the pageboy, and both their parents were in attendance.

The couple had been planning a big event with hundreds of guests, but with Covid-19 restrictions in Australia and New Zealand, they opted for a low-key ceremony.
