Olympian Emily Seabohm has revealed that she kept her engagement to her reality star beau Ryan Gallagher a secret for four months.
The happy couple, who met on The Challenge Australia last August, announced their engagement publicly earlier this month.
However, Emily, 30, has now revealed that her fiancé Ryan, 34, actually popped the question in December, just four months after they met.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Emily said they managed to keep their relationship private for a long time and only went public a day before they got engaged on December 5, 2022.
‘We just wanted to live in our own little bubble, we just wanted that for us and our families,’ she told the publication.

Ryan, who failed to find love on Married At First Sight in 2018, knew Emily was his future as he got down on one knee following their four month whirlwind romance.
He proposed to her next to a dam on his farm near Goulburn, NSW, with a trilogy diamond ring from Goulburn’s Zantis Jewellers.
The Olympic swimmer said she previously hinted that this was her dream location to get engaged.

‘He told me that he’d asked my dad, so I definitely knew it was coming, on the day, he was really cute and nervous about it, even though I knew it was happening,’ she said.
The couple plan on having a ‘laid back’ wedding in Emily’s home state, Queensland, in 2024.
Ryan, whose MAFS relationship with Davina Rankin on season five made headlines after she kissed a fellow co-star, said he instantly knew that Emily was ‘the one’.
‘When you know you know,’ Ryan told Woman’s Day while speaking about the proposal.

‘I did get nervous though. The box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew I was proposing or she just though I was happy to see her!’
When the couple met on The Challenge, Emily was already in a relationship.
However, she said there were instant sparks between her and Ryan, so she called it off with her then-boyfriend.
‘Obviously it wasn’t a nice call to make, but I told him what was going on and that there was something there with Ryan and I didn’t see the point in wasting any more time,’ she said.
She debuted this mystery man on Instagram in May 2021 following her split from Brisbane radio host David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral in early 2021.
Before dating Luttsy, Emily was in a long-term relationship with fellow Olympic swimmer Mitch Larkin.
The high-profile couple dated for nearly three years before their acrimonious split in 2018.
Emily revealed heartbreaking details about their split on an episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! during a chat, which ironically was with fellow camper Ryan’s TV bride Rankin.
Emily claimed she ‘worked out he was cheating’ with ‘another swimmer’, something Mitch has always vehemently denied.

The pair’s two-year romance ended back in 2018 amid unproven allegations Mitch had been unfaithful – something he has always strongly denied.
In 2018, he told The Courier Mail: ‘I did not cheat. I absolutely did not cheat. Breaking up with her was one of the hardest things I could do, because I adored her.’
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Emily said that despite her previous high-profile relationships and their fallouts, she feels comfortable to be herself in public with Ryan.
‘I think that’s one thing that I have probably never had before, where I can have all these versions of myself and the person fully accepts all of that.’
