Jodi And Braith – 'We're Getting Married!'

He had all the right props – a brand new love nest, blue sky, a garden filled with roses and a ‘big rock’ stashed securely in his pocket.

When rugby league star Braith Anasta and gorgeous girlfriend Jodi Gordon were moving into their new home together, he knew the time was right to propose.

Now, the brawny Sydney Roosters captain and his beautiful fiance have decided to share their joy – and end any speculation about their relationship – by sitting down for an exclusive joint interview with New Idea.

The happy couple reveal all about their recent engagement, including the moment Braith presented Jodi with a four-carat pear-shaped diamond, and their plans to start a family.

Braith sheepishly admits: ‘I’ve never been so nervous in my life. I wanted it to be right because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.’

Snuggling up for the interview, their smiles somehow managed to outshine the sparkling diamond engagement ring on Jodi’s finger.
