Drew Brauer may not have been able to find love on Married At First Sight, but away from the cameras, it’s a different story.
The reality star, who appeared on the 2020 season of the hit Channel Nine series, announced his engagement to girlfriend Sam Clark.
Drew and Sam took to Instagram on Sunday to share the happy news with a series of romantic photos.
One photo showed the happy couple hugging while Sam held up a stunning diamond sparkler.
She was beaming in another photo showing off her statement engagement ring, this time happily cuddling baby Rex, whom the couple welcomed into the world in July.
A third image showed a close-up of Sam’s hand again showing off the ring while Drew could be seen in the background sporting a comically surprised expression.

His effusive tribute continued: “How can a bunch of words even come close to beginning to express my feelings for you?”
“I have never felt so uncontrollably drawn to something in my life. Wow! I have never known such happiness or felt so lucky.

“Thank you for choosing to experience everything this life has to offer at my side.”
The post was met with a flood of comments from friends and followers, including Drew’s own financier, who revealed that his words had moved her to tears.
“Now that I read that, I’m a mess again,” Sam replied. ‘I love you! Thank you for choosing to live life with me.’
‘I am incredibly happy with the life and family we have created so far… I regularly cry just thinking about it. Really grateful for you two xxx.’
Former Hi-5 star Nathan Foley also chimed in with: “Congratulations guys.”

Drew has been dating Samantha, better known by her stage name KAWEYOVA, for almost three years.
The couple met shortly after Drew’s appearance on Married At First Sight, during which she married professional dancer KC Osborne.
The couple decided to stay together in the finale despite enduring a tumultuous relationship, but split shortly after filming wrapped.
KC briefly moved on with fellow MAFS star Michael Goonan before falling for her current fiancé, Blake Spriggs.
She welcomed her first child, a son named Brooklyn, with Blake in October.
Meanwhile, Drew and Sam welcomed their first child, Rex Kelai, in July.
The couple took to Instagram to announce their arrival, sharing a sweet photo of the newborn and revealing in the caption that he had arrived early.
“Our son decided to join us at Earthside earlier than expected,” Sam wrote.

Drew has been dating Samantha, better known by her stage name KAWEYOVA, for almost three years.
‘On July 3, around 10:26 p.m., she made her entry into this world after a very long and difficult labor/birth. More than 30 hours of work and more than an hour of pushing.
Sam added that the long labor meant little Rex had to spend some time in a special care unit.
“Because my water broke early and I was in labor for over 30 hours, the baby had to spend a few nights in the special care unit to monitor his health,” Sam wrote.
‘It has been a great moment for him and for us as parents since his arrival, hence the late announcement. Things are finally starting to calm down and we are enjoying our little bubble of love with our little man.
