Nev and Kell: We're engaged!


My Kitchen Rules' ‘fair dinkum Aussie couple’ Nev and Kell – whose earthy warmth on the show has won them fans across the nation – feel ready to share their exciting news with the world.

'We’re engaged!’ beams Kell, 44.

‘Nev actually proposed in December, but as we were filming MKR then, it wasn’t the right time to announce it and distract our focus from the show,’ Kell explains, flashing her diamond-cluster ring.

‘I picked this beauty myself – eat your heart out, James Packer!’ Nev, 48, grins.

The proposal took Kell by surprise, taking place over lunch at a crowded steakhouse in their local shopping centre.

‘It wasn’t the most romantic venue, no!’ Kell giggles. ‘But I don’t mind, I’m spoilt all the time.'

The foodies plan to invite many fellow MKR contestants to their engagement party.

‘The friends we’ve met on that show are like family to us,' Nev says.

The chirpy lovebirds agree the show’s pressure-cooker nature caused a lot of tension at times.

‘Even so, it’s been good for our relationship. I feel a little bit more in love with Nev every single day,’ Kell says.

She laughingly reveals that she and Nev ‘already have several adult children between us from previous relationships – no, we’re not planning to have any more’.

Plus, the couple now have a wedding to organise!

‘Not having been married before, I’m going to make sure it’s a really special day,’ Kell says.
