The Veronicas singer Jessica Origliasso has announced her engagement to trans partner Kai Carlton.
The 34-year-old Australian musician shared the news on her Instagram account on Thursday, revealing Kai popped the question on their one-year anniversary.
āHappy 1 year & THE REST OF MY LIFE with you @kaigodlike my bestfriend,ā she shared with her over 315,000 followers. āIāve been happy crying for 2 hours. Iāve never felt so full.ā
LA-based singer and songrwiter Kai also shared a post featuring images of the couple and the engagement ring, and wrote: āShe said āyesā and Iām the happiest mf alive.
āI listen to BeyoncĆ©ās advice. @jessicaveronica hereās to a lifetime of love and memories. Thanks for being in my life.ā
Jessā twin sister Lisa was one of the first celebrities to congratulate the couple, and she also welcomed Kai into the family with a special post on her Instagram stories.
āSo so proud and excited to call you my brother and family @kaigodlike the most loyal & loving soul,ā she wrote.
Jessica and Kai began dating in 2018 after meeting through mutual friends.
In June this year Kai confirmed he was ātrans maleā on Instagram.
When a fan asked why Kai was participating in LGBTQ pride events, he responded: āI donāt really know what you mean by you ādonāt understand the pride thing?ā Maybe I just donāt say it that much because I donāt see a reason to really say it socially. But Iām a trans male, so thatās why I am pridefulā.
Jessica previously dated actor Ruby Rose for almost two years before their split in April 2018, and prior to that was in a relationship with Badflower guitarist Josh Katz for two years.
