The insider also alleged they were planning to wed in April last year.
However, Jorge and Kiki — who also appeared on The Challenge Australia 2022 — took to Instagram on February 29, 2024 to announce they were newly engaged.

On February 10, the former Islander took to Instagram to share the big news.
“She didn’t see that coming,” he wrote in the captions. “Found my Mrs Majic. #ad @timezoneaustralia @stefandiamonds”.

On January 15, Layla gushed over the special moment on Instagram.
“It’s nearly a year since you picked me up in Melbourne, some days I wish my battery was flat that day,” she wrote to the captions with a laughing emoji. “But 99.9 per cent of the time it’s the best thing that ever happened to us.
“We’ve both learnt so much about ourselves in the last year, we laugh A LOT, and make far too many Inbetweeners and Peter Kay jokes, but I wouldn’t have our life any other way.”
Layla, who’s pregnant with twins, added: “We have two ready-made flower girls, (three including David Subritzky) that I know will be your everything when they arrive.
“Another reason it’ll be a YES from me,” she finished, alongside the bride and ring emojis.

In a second post on January 2, Carly told her followers that when she was younger, an Ouija board told her that the initials of her future husband would be “N.G.”.
“I dated throughout the years but no one ever matched, so I naturally assumed the Ouija board was wrong and didn’t give it too much thought,” she wrote. “But the little girl in me always remembered that night.”
“Whether it was a coincidence that I got those initials, or something else, I’m now engaged to Neil Goldsmith. So I guess it was right,” she finished. And it looks like her spirit guides were on the money!
