New Zealand’s Tongan-born shotput queen Valerie Adams has announced her engagement to fiancé Gabriel Price, but has not released any wedding plans.
Adams, who won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, posted the news of her engagement to Facebook and twitter early today.
“This happened a week a [sic] ago. #eternal life,” it said.
The announcement was accompanied by two photographs.
One apparently showed a diamond solitaire engagement ring and the other featured Adams sitting next to Price who is shown holding a bouquet of flowers.
Their engagement came one year after a near miss they had with an aircraft in Tonga which they had boarded to fly to the nearby island of ʻEua.
