Introducing his wife-to-be Lisa Christie on a sparkling day out on Sydney’s Pittwater, TV favourite Jamie Durie looks over the moon.

That’s right, the nation’s most eligible bachelor has not only found himself a beautiful woman with whom he wants to share his life, but a ready-made family as well.

Lisa’s children Brayden, eight, and Charlotte, five – from a previous marriage – are besotted with Jamie, leaping all over him and listening intently as he explains how to steer their boat.

"They’re great kids and that’s down to Lisa being an incredible mother," he reveals in an exclusive interview with New Idea – out now.

"To be honest, that’s when I really started falling for Lisa – when I saw the way she was with her kids."

The couple, who met in 2011 when Lisa was runner-up on his TV series Top Design, became engaged just before Christmas last year when Jamie surprised her with a proposal and a stunning diamond ring he had, naturally, designed himself.
