The off-screen romance on the set of Home and Away has produced happy news with the show’s star Steve Peacocke confirming that he is engaged to his long-time girlfriend and co-star as of December, Bridgette Snedden.
The news will disappoint many female fans who have watched the handsome Peacocke since 2011 when he joined the soap as River Boy Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton and quickly became the most eligible bachelor on Aussie TV.
But Peacocke, 32, and Snedden, 27, have been an item since 2005 and he secretly proposed to her last year.
“I just always thought it’s better to keep all that kind of stuff private for us. It happened (the engagement) last year so yeah we are engaged,” he confirmed to The Daily Telegraph.
Suspicions were raised about a possible wedding after it was reported that Snedden was seen on two separate occassions wearing a dazzling ring on her left hand but had quickly removed it when photographers were nearby.
The pair met in drama school and in December last year it was announced that Snedden would join Peacocke at Summer Bay after being cast as a new character, Sophie.
Bridgette told the Telegraph that she looked forward to spending more time with Steve.
“It’s been odd not seeing each other in the last three years after working together so much [during drama school]. I’ve just seen how much he loves his job and loves going up to Palm Beach.”.
