The My Kitchen Rules judge described his proposal as a “beautiful moment” when he popped the question to his 37-year-old girlfriend in New York.

The pair met in Adelaide three years ago and according to Robinson it was an impromptu proposal. The reality star from New Zealand told New Idea, that the sweet moment brought on a flood of happy tears.

“There we were in New York talking away and I said: ‘Gosh if we ever get married, taking our loved ones on holiday would be a wonderful way to do it,” Robinson said.

The model says she was “overwhelmed with love” when Pete’s response to her wedding daydreams was “right, let’s do it, let’s get married.”

“We’d never really thought about marriage — it wasn’t top of our agenda — but we love each other and we’re committed to each other and our family, so we thought let’s be traditional and make it official,” added Evans. “It seemed like the right thing to do at the right time”.

While the spontaneous moment meant there was no ring the loved up couple plan on purchasing an enviable pounamu (greenstone) ring when they are next in New Zealand and they are wasting no time in planning possible new additions to their family.

“We would definitely love to be blessed with more children in our lives one day,” said Robinson, who is step mum to Evans’ two daughters, Chilli, 9, and Indii, 7, from a previous relationship.

“If it happens, wonderful. If not, I’m very lucky to be sharing Chilli and Indii’s lives.”

The healthy pair plan to marry early next year after launching their new online health and fitness program, The Paleo Way.
