MAFS star Cyrell Paule that her long-term partner, Love Island’s Eden Dally proposed to her.
The reality star casually dropped the news in an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday evening. “Thinking of proposal yet? When is he getting on his knee !!!” a fan asked Cyrell. She responded, “Here’s the thing that I actually haven’t shared but will now… When I came back from filming @thechallenge_au… @dallyeden did ask me to marry him. And well, to be continued. If you know you know.”
Cyrell and Eden got together in April 2019, shortly after her season of MAFS finished airing. After just five months together, the couple announced their pregnancy. However, they broke up in October 2019, but got back together two months later. The reality stars have remained together since and have a two and a half year old son together named Boston.
Cyrell’s engagement announcement comes as somewhat of a shock to fans as she told the Daily Mail in May that she and Eden didn’t consider marriage a priority.
“Marriage is just something that isn’t on our minds right now,” she told the publication.
“I feel like we’re pretty much married now. You know, the only thing that’s not there is that it’s not legalised.”

She added, “I come home, Eden’s there. I shower, he is there. I’m chucking a s**t, he’s there. So yeah, it pretty much feels like married life already!
“A piece of paper doesn’t need to tell us we are married. We have a kid together already as it is, so what is a piece of paper?”
Cyrell was dubbed Cyclone Cyrell on season nine of MAFS, and is perhaps best known for the infamous red wine fight that she and co-star Martha K had at one of the show’s filmed dinner parties. She recently competed on The Challenge Australia but was eliminated on episode four.
