Likewise, the actor expressed his overwhelming happiness to Us Weekly, sharing, “We are both so incredibly happy! The day was just perfect, and the proposal went well. We are filled with love and excitement for our future together.”

Alongside the joyous announcement of their engagement, Bracco also shed light on the thought process behind their proposal.

When it came to planning the proposal, Bracco knew he wanted to create a distinctive and heartfelt experience that truly reflected their relationship. 

He sought the help of a few close friends and family members, but, for the most part, he managed to keep the details under wraps, which was no easy feat considering their expansive Italian family background. 

Bracco’s goal was to ensure that the proposal remained a genuine surprise, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the special moment they would share.

Love Island contestant Antigoni Buxton was rumored to be in a relationship with professional rugby league footballer Jacques O’Neill. 

Shortly after they departed from Love Island, dating rumors surrounding Buxton and O’Neill emerged as they spent time together upon returning to the UK. They were also spotted smiling together during a night out in Manchester.

Likewise, the pair went on multiple dinner dates and outings, including a special lunch where their mothers accompanied them. O’Neill also took to Instagram to share the heartwarming moment and captioned, “Made a real one for life. Took our mamas for brunch. Also, why do we look like siblings here.”

Despite O’Neill viewing his and Buxton’s relationship as more akin to that of siblings, some fans were fervently eager to see them in a romantic relationship. They flooded the comment section, imploring the duo to become a couple. 

One person pleaded, “Get together already,” while another exclaimed, “You two would look fantastic together, please start dating!” Numerous users even resorted to using the term “SHIP” to express their intense desire for the two individuals to form a romantic bond.

However, the television personality unequivocally dismissed any notion of a romantic relationship with O’Neill, emphasizing that their bond is akin to that of a sibling. 

During an interview with The Sun at the show’s wrap party, Buxton further asserted, “I and Jacques are not a thing. It seems hard for some people to believe that a boy and girl can simply be close friends without any romantic involvement.”

Who is Antigoni Buxton dating now?

Buxton does not seem to be involved in any romantic relationship at the moment. Upon examining her Instagram profile, it becomes evident that her posts primarily revolve around her career and the enjoyable moments she shares with her friends. None of the pictures available online give any indication that she might have a boyfriend. 

Moreover, the television personality is currently at the pinnacle of her career as she ventures into the world of singing. This crucial time in her professional journey might explain her focus on fostering and advancing her career rather than pursuing a romantic relationship. 

Antigoni Buxton’s dating history 

Buxton went on dates with Davide Sanclimenti, Dami Hope, and Jay Younger. She had a string of high-profile exes, including former Love Islander Jack Fowler. It was reported that Fowler and the television personality hooked up for a few months, but their relationship fizzled out before it could get serious.

Before her brief romance with Fowler, Buxton had been in a nine-year relationship with her childhood sweetheart. However, they eventually went their separate ways as Buxton decided to prioritize her budding music career. 

During an interview with Daily Mail, Buxton opened up about her romantic experiences, revealing, “I’ve only ever been in love once – I don’t think I’ve been in love since.” She further acknowledged, “I think I tend to develop feelings of lust and infatuation rather quickly.”

Furthermore, the television personality has also been romantically linked to Jack Tyrimos, who gained recognition through his appearance on Bear Grylls’ Treasure Island.
