The Tasmanian based businessman, 43, made the shock proposal during a MAFS viewing party in Sydney on Sunday evening. 

In footage shared to TikTok, Clint is seen on one knee popping the question to his ladylove, 29, before producing an impressive diamond ring.

It wasn’t long before an elated Jacqui said yes, scooping up her hunk and planting a joyous kiss on his smiling lips.

Later in the footage, Jacqui proudly flashed her blinding diamond ring to her adoring MAFS fans as she grinned with glee. 

It comes after Ryan Donnelly has sensationally claimed that his on-screen bride Jacqui was ‘never really on the show to find love’.

In a no-holds-barred interview with Daily Mail Australia, Ryan, 37, revealed how Jacqui formed a secret connection with fellow groom Clint while they were still married, all while maintaining what he now calls ‘an agenda’ to control her narrative and become the show’s breakout star.

Ryan didn’t hold back when asked why he thought his marriage with Jacqui imploded so dramatically.

‘Her motivation was to be the main character (of the show), I think,’ he said bluntly.

He claimed Jacqui was ‘flip-flopping’ between playing the victim and the heroine throughout the experiment.

‘I think she wanted to pick at something, pull at a thread until the whole thing unravelled. That’s why I looked a bit guarded. I had to say to myself, ‘Alright, she’s got more masks than a Halloween ball. Which one is she gonna wake up with today?”

Ryan also believes he was intentionally paired with Jacqui to create drama.

‘There’s cupid matches and there’s clash matches, and obviously the clash ones are more entertaining,’ he said.

‘I can see the irony of it, but I could also see how I can learn from this and be a better person.’

He added that the entire experiment felt like it was ‘a casserole of nonsense’.

‘You just dip the ladle in and it’s too hot, too cold. It’s insane,’ he added.

Ryan also addressed the worst-kept secret of the season — Jacqui’s post-show relationship with fellow groom Clint Rice — revealing their secret connection began while they were still ‘married’ on the show.

‘She admitted to me one night, she’s like, ‘After one night when I was really upset, I actually called Clint at 3am.’

‘They had a conversation over the phone about her being so upset with the experiment, with me, with Rhi, with everything.’

Ryan claims this was the moment he realised something was going on behind the scenes.

‘My suspicions ended up being confirmed. After that, I was like, ‘You’ve made a joke of our time here.’ Literally.

‘I could’ve taken the whole bitter, jaded side and been like, ‘Oh, you were messaging him while we were still together.’ Which is true.’
