West Coast Eagles star Tim Kelly popped the question to partner Caitlin Miller at the weekend — 12 years after they first got together.

The 29-year-old midfielder finally got down on one knee when he asked the mother of his three sons to be his wife.

The pair made the announcement on Instagram on Sunday, sharing a series of photos from a beachside shoot where Miller showed off her sparkling diamond ring.

“12 years in the making. I love you so much Timmothy James Kelly. I cannot wait to marry you,” Miller, also 29, wrote.

The fashion and beauty guru, who has more than 16,000 Instagram followers, looked overjoyed in the happy snaps as she hugged and kissed her now-fiancee.

Following the photo shoot, the couple went for lunch at Indigo Oscar in Cottesloe and sealed the deal with a glass of champagne.

The sport and influencing world took to social media to congratulate the newly engaged lovers.

Nic Naitanui’s partner Brittany Bown, who has just announced her second pregnancy, said: “Aww this is so beautiful, congratulations you two”.

More WAGs also showed their support with Jack Darling’s wife Courtney saying the “dance floor at this wedding is going to ”.

Perth influencers Lissy Graham and Zak Hasleby also congratulated the couple.

The pair share three young sons Tykeem, Tariq and Trey, with the proud parents sharing updates on their children’s lives on an Instagram page called The Kelly Boys.

Kelly joined West Coast in 2019 after a stint at Geelong Football Club in 2018.
