The Nova 100 host captioned the post: ‘New York Nights, Big Birthday Celebrations and Big pizzas’.
Lauren has been engaged for almost three years but keeps her romance very private.
The presenter announced her engagement to multi-millionaire partner live on-air in 2023.
She shared the exciting news with her co-host, and spoke about the surprise proposal in Mykonos.
Paul runs high-end aviation charter group AVMIN and has several celebrity clients, including Matt Damon, his wife Luciana Barroso, and power couple Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky.
‘We went to Europe for the holidays. We had a few days in Rome just the two of us and I thought if he was going to propose, it would’ve been the two of us,’ she began.
‘Then we went to Mykonos and met up with all of our friends and turns out I was the only person who didn’t know about it. He proposed in front of all our friends. I had no idea and then next minute he was down on one knee.’
The brunette beauty said the public proposal was such a surreal experience that at first she thought Paul was teasing her.

‘I think I thought he was joking. It was an out-of-body experience. I don’t think I even looked at the ring. I just hugged him and cried and then we stood up and we all celebrated.’
She could not contain her joy when discussing the ultra-romantic proposal.
‘Everyone said, “you didn’t say yes,” and I’m like “of course it is a yes!” We then called my family who were at home at the time. He asked my dad. He is a gentleman,’ she added.
The notoriously private couple have been dating since early 2020 and lived together in Byron Bay.
Paul previously dated former Sunrise host Samantha Armytage from 2018 – 2019.
Lauren started dating Paul while she was living in Melbourne at the start of the Covid pandemic in early 2020.
