Social Media Announcement and Heartwarming Exchange
Perryman, aged 27, and Price, aged 30, confirmed their engagement in a joint Instagram post captioned, "HE FINALLY DID IT ? ? ✨". The post included a black and white photo showcasing Price's new engagement ring, along with an understated video of the couple seated at a backyard bonfire, where they humorously recounted the evening's events.
In the video, Price asked her beau, "What did you do tonight?" to which Perryman, a 129-game AFL player, replied, "I proposed. There it is, finally, after six years." Price teased, "Six years too long?" and Perryman responded with a laugh, "Nah, timed it to perfection.... So that will shut you up."

Price boasts an impressive sporting pedigree, having won gold for the Australian Diamonds at the 2023 Netball World Cup. She is the daughter of former NRL player Steve Price and the niece of Brisbane Broncos premiership player Brent Tate.
