Brooke Warne announces engagement to longtime partner Alex Heath

Brooke Warne has revealed she is engaged to her longtime partner Alex Heath, sharing the happy news during the couple’s romantic holiday in the United States.

The eldest daughter of late cricket legend Shane Warne announced the engagement on Instagram, posting a series of photographs showing off her ring alongside the simple caption: “It was always us.”

The couple appear to be celebrating in Bozeman, Montana, during a US holiday that has also seen them travel to Las Vegas and Hawaii.

The announcement was quickly flooded with messages from friends, family and her 95,200 Instagram followers, with Brooke’s mother, Simone Callahan, among the first to congratulate the pair.

Callahan described them as a “beautiful match made in Heaven” and pointed to a rainbow seen during the proposal as a sign from Brooke’s late father.

“Dad’s sign for you Brookie & Alex, he will be over the moon celebrating, enjoy this special moment,” she wrote, adding that she could not wait to see the newly engaged couple.

“Wowwww I have a brother!” Brooke’s brother Jackson Warne wrote.

Former AFL star Brendan Fevola commented, “Congratulations mate,” while Married At First Sight alum Domenica Calarco wrote, “Congratulations beautiful.” Former Geelong star Tom Hawkins also added, “Best news!!!!!! Congratulations guys.”

Heath appears to have proposed in Bozeman, with photographs showing him down on one knee in a grassy field framed by rolling hills before Brooke gave him a hug.

Another image saw the newly engaged couple smiling for a selfie as Brooke held up her left hand to reveal a blinding diamond ring.

The engagement comes shortly after Brooke celebrated Heath’s 29th birthday, describing him as the “love of my life and best friend”.

Brooke, 29, and Heath have been together for more than five years and he has been by her side during some of the most difficult periods of her life.

Heath was with Brooke and her siblings on the night they learned Shane Warne had suffered a fatal heart attack while holidaying in Thailand in March 2022.

Warne died at the age of 52, leaving Brooke and her siblings, Jackson and Summer, to navigate their grief in the public eye.

Brooke has since spoken openly about grief, family and the importance of keeping her father’s memory alive.

In March 2025, Brooke revealed she was postponing marriage because she was still mourning.

“Obviously, Alex and I, one day, we’re going to get married, hopefully and live a happy life as everyone says,” Brooke said on YouTube.

“But we’ve had the hardest three years to go through as a family and I have no interest in getting married any time soon.”

Four years on from the tragic event, Brooke and Heath are preparing to begin their next chapter.
