Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and actor Sam Milby announced their engagement on Thursday, February 16, several weeks after the two have been teased about tying the knot soon.
On their respective Instagram pages, the couple posted the same picture of the two of them about to share a kiss while holding a pair of latte cups in which the words “Mr. Milby” and “Future Mrs. Milby” were written.
“Living in an answered prayer with my best friend. I love you, fiancè (eeeeee) [emojis],” Gray said in the caption of her IG post.

Following their announcement, celebrities, friends and supporters flooded their pages with congratulations and best wishes.
Hours after announcing their engagement, Gray shared more engagement photos with Milby on Instagram, which were taken by freelance photographer Jerick Sanchez. This time, her oval-cut engagement ring was seen more prominently.
“Our best chapter yet. [heart emoji] @samuelmilby,” she said in the caption.

Gray and Milby, who opted to keep their romance private, confirmed their relationship in May 2020 after the latter posted a polaroid photo of them on his Instagram account.
Speculations of an earlier engagement hounded the couple especially after Gray posted a picture of them in a sea setting in Australia last December, which she captioned, “Today made me the happiest.”
