In a heartwarming moment that has delighted fans across the country, Collingwood Football Club captain Darcy Moore has officially announced his engagement and upcoming wedding to long-time partner Dee Salmin. The announcement comes after Moore proposed with a stunning, custom-designed engagement ring that has captured the attention of both the media and fans alike.
The couple, who have been together for several years, have kept much of their relationship private. However, Moore chose to share the joyful news publicly, posting a heartfelt message on social media alongside a photo of the radiant couple and the impressive ring now gracing Salmin’s finger.
Sources close to the couple say the proposal was nothing short of magical. Moore reportedly spared no expense, selecting a ring that combines elegance and personal significance. The intricately crafted piece features a sizable diamond set in a platinum band, estimated to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Dee Salmin, a creative and well-known media personality in her own right, said “yes” without hesitation. Friends of the couple describe them as deeply supportive of each other’s careers and passions, often seen cheering each other on in public and private.
“She’s my person,” Moore reportedly told close friends. “There was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.”
The couple is said to be in the early stages of planning the wedding, with a date and location yet to be officially revealed. However, insiders suggest they are considering a ceremony that reflects their shared love of nature, style, and understated elegance — potentially somewhere in Victoria’s scenic countryside or along the coast.
Fans and fellow AFL players have flooded the couple’s social media with congratulations, marking this as a celebrated moment not just in their personal lives, but in the wider sporting community.
As captain of one of the AFL’s most storied clubs, Moore’s leadership on the field is now matched by this major milestone off it. And with Salmin by his side, the next chapter of their lives looks to be just as exciting.
