Watch moment Love Island star proposes to his girlfriend after meeting on another reality show
LOVE Island star Matthew MacNabb has proposed to his girlfriend Laura Nolan.
The Irish hunk shared a video with fans of the moment he got down on one knee after two years of dating.
He told fans: “We’ve come a long way.”
Their famous pals rushed to comment on the happy news, with Love Island winner Liam Reardon writing: “Special. So happy for you both! Congratulations X.”
Matthew, who appeared on the dating show in 2021, met Laura when he was partnered with her in the dancing competition in Ireland just a few months later.
Their relationship was speculated by viewers throughout the entire competition, but as Matthew was eliminated, a choreographed kiss gave the game away during his farewell dance.
Just last month, Matthew was forced to deny they were engaged after he shared a very romantic video of them dancing and fans went wild.
He wrote: “Ps. Not our wedding video or engagement, but thank you!”
The smitten lad recently told Evoke how the pair had their first kiss behind the scenes of DWTS.
The 29-year-old laughed: “It was mid rehearsals actually, I’m too smooth, too smooth!”
Laura added: “‘It was in the middle of a dance, we had a step where he grabbed my neck and like, pulled me towards him and we looked each other in the eye and he just kissed me.”
They continued: “We both knew that we had the show to do, so it was kinda like we really liked each other and there was a lot of flirting going on.
“We didn’t want to distract from the other contestants or degrade what we potentially had.”
Matthew was coupled up with Kaz Kamwi during his time on Love Island.
He later admitted he struggled during his time in the villa after entering during Casa Amor.
“I shouldn’t have been there in a way,” he explained.
“It was like trying to take over being someone else’s boyfriend.”
Matthew added: “I haven’t told anyone this, but I met with the psychologist when I was in the villa and cried for a solid hour.
“She helped me so much and made me realise that this life is an adventure and with any adventure, there are ups and there are downs.”
