Australian model Ashley Hart has revealed she and partner Marco Utah secretly got engaged four months ago, the day before their son turned one.

The 36-year-old shared the happy news to her Instagram account on Wednesday, posting several black and white photos of the loved up couple embracing on the momentous occasion.

Flaunting her massive diamond ring from Abercrombie Jewelry in the US, Ashley accompanied the announcement with a heartwarming poem to commemorate the milestone. 

‘Here we are, stepping in. The lump that used to feel tight in my throat surrenders to a shy swallow—eyes up to meet yours—as our lips touch, I say yes,’ she wrote.

‘Not without the roaring waves that crash these shores—the biggest I’d ever seen here at our beach spot—as you drop to your knee and ask me.

‘The sun set and the moon rose, prisms in the heavens; just like the night we met… And now, on the eve of our son’s first birthday, we’re planning to be wed.’

Ashley and Marco, who first met in 2020 and confirmed their relationship later that year on Instagram, welcomed their first child together, a son named Priest, in December 2023. 

The yogi, who is the older sister of model Jess Hart (engaged to race car driver James Kirkham), went on to say she has been reflecting on her surprise engagement in the four months since Marco got down on one knee.  

‘I sat at our beach spot again today, four months on… The waves surfable, the weather calm… Reflecting on it all,’ she continued.

‘Lighting a candle now, pen to pad, sparking my somewhat mundane motions into a sacred dance, as those usual chores are done around the house. And I see, this is it. A spark of light in my heart and mind—to choose love.’

Ashley added the waves at the beach had broken her open and made space for their love.

‘To our partnership, to our beautiful little son. And to the divinity of every moment that gets amplified as “we do”,’ she wrote.

‘I’ve never been more sure, as I stand still that we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be as the Earth circles the sun—and allures us to a destined path out of the millions we could have taken. This is our one.’

Ashley and Marco confirmed their relationship in August 2020 and welcomed their first child together just a few years later in 2023.

Her relationship with Marco came after a short fling with ski lodge entrepreneur Brett Leve in 2019, following her divorce from Buck Palmer in 2017 after two years of marriage. 

Ashley and Buck dated for seven years before they married in Los Angeles in 2015.

They announced their breakup by appearing in a bohemian photo shoot which showed them dancing on a hilltop—a concept strikingly similar to other photos Ashley posted of herself and Brett.

In the caption, she penned an emotional poem about her ex, writing in part: ‘Forever infinitely dancing, like us now, on this hill top.’  

Buck has since moved on and is currently in a relationship with Victoria’s Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio.
