Kiwi model Nicky Watson, who now uses her maiden name, Nicola Robinson, is engaged to My Kitchen Rules judge Pete Evans.
Evans, 40, told the Australian New Idea magazine he popped the question during a “beautiful moment” in New York.
“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.
“Of course, I began to cry tears of happiness when he replied: ‘Right, let’s do it, let’s get married’ … We both felt overwhelmed with love.”
The celebrity chef added that the couple had never thought about marriage, but decided to “be traditional and make it official”.
The magazine reports that Evans and Robinson planned to buy a pounamu ring when they were next in New Zealand and to tie the knot early next year.
Robinson, who met Evans three years ago, is stepmum to his daughters, Chilli, 9, and Indii, 7, from a previous relationship.
The ex-wife of businessman Eric Watson announced in 2011 she was retiring from public life and changing her name back. That ended years of making front-page news with her giant breasts, skimpy bikinis and controversial love life with rock-star boyfriends.
