The Challenge Australia‘s Brittany Hockley has finally confirmed she’s dating her footballer boyfriend, Ben Siegrist, after weeks of speculation about their relationship.
ICYMI: So Dramatic! exclusively revealed the reality star was dating the Celtic Football Club player following Brittany’s relentless bread-crumbing of the romance while holidaying with him overseas.
Now, the 35-year-old has taken to the ‘gram to confess that she “may have found a keeper”.
“From Paris, with love,” she caption an Instagram Reel on January 24. “#hardestlaunch.”
Sources previously told So Dramatic! that the newly-minted radio host travelled to Ben’s home base of Scotland “during the Christmas break to spend time with him and see if they could make it work”.
And it appears they have, with Brittany’s Reel featuring plenty of loved-up snaps and clips from their travels through the UK and Europe.
She also took to her Story, admitting that she really milked the “soft-launches”. However, she “didn’t want to rush” an official announcement.
“We wanted to enjoy our little bubble while we figured it all out.”
Brittany confirmed that their relationship will be “long distance”, but for her? He’s worth it!
“I didn’t think they made them like him anymore,” she penned on a video of the 30-year-old doing up her shoelaces. Standards!
Ben also shared his newfound love online, musing: “It wasn’t easy catching this one.
“Excited for the future.”
How did Brittany Hockley and her new boyfriend Ben Siegrist meet?
News of Brittany and Ben’s romance comes after she previously revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and her Life Uncut podcast that she’ll only date fellas with a blue tick, using the exclusive dating app Raya to meet them.
ICYMI: This time last year, she was announcing her split from Australian tennis star Jordan Thompson, who she also met on the celebrity dating app.
Now, fast forward 12 months and it seems Raya has worked its charm again!
As revealed in episode 243 of the So Dramatic! podcast, a friend of the serial reality star confirmed that Brittany and the Swiss athlete “matched on Raya a few months ago”.
“[They] started talking and then met up in real life when he came to Sydney in November to play in the Sydney Super Cup,” they said. “They’ve been talking to each other ever since.”
They also said that “things are getting serious”, with Brittany travelling to Scotland over the Christmas break.
“He joked with her she should fly over and give him a New Years’ kiss, and she said, ‘OK, why not’, and went over to see him.”
Ballsy, but it paid off, didn’t it?! Love this for them.
