Love Island Australia 2022 winners Austen Bugeja asked Claudia Bonifazio to be his “official” girlfriend in the most heartwarming way, and we can’t get over how perfect they are for each other.
Speaking to So Dramatic! after the December 20 finale, the loved-up couple proudly revealed that they were now “official” and even had plans to move in together. And be still our beating hearts…
“We’re official as of the 29th of October,” Austen said. Love that for them!
Love Island Australia’s Austen Bugeja gave Claudia Bonifazio a “nerdy” gift when they became “official”
Claudia explained they had been “waiting to meet each others’ families” in person before putting labels on the relationship.
“He met my family and as soon as he met them, the next day he bought me a Funko Pop! figure. He bought me a Pokemon, an Eevee one,” Claudia said, before adding: “I love Eevee. It’s so nerdy!”
She continued: “He comes back and says ‘I’ve got a gift for you’ and give me an amazing speech that was really, really sweet. He asked me to be his girlfriend.” Awww, #Clausten forever!
Austen went on to add: “I went shopping because I went, ‘to give her something when I ask her to be my girlfriend. What can I give her?’ I was looking at jewellery [at first].
“Then I went into this store and saw the Eevee figure and I was like: ‘That’s it. That is the gift I’m going to give her. She will freaking love this’,” he said.
That’s right! Austen bought Claudia a $20 Pokemon figure from an Adelaide gaming shop (to be fair, they didn’t know they’d won the $50K yet).
