Fiona Falkiner has opened up about the sweet way she began her romance with her sports presenter wife Hayley Willis.
The Biggest Loser veteran, 41, revealed their relationship began via social media in early 2018, when Hayley, 34, messaged her on Instagram out of the blue.
‘I’d had a few drinks, a bit of liquid courage, and just messaged her and said, “What are my chances of taking you out for a drink someday?”‘ Hayley told 9Honey.
‘I thought it was quite ballsy to just ask me out from word dot,’ Fiona added.
‘She told me later, “I just want you to know, I wasn’t, like, a fan of yours or anything like that”.’
After messaging each other for several months, they finally met up in person in October 2018 and they knew things were getting serious.
‘We literally were inseparable for the whole summer and spent every moment together. I started thinking, “You know what? I want this for the rest of my life”,’ Hayley added.
The pair became engaged after just seven months of dating in 2019, when Hayley popped the question on holiday in Vanuatu.
