Katie Lamb and Martene Pearman have announced their engagement after five years together.
The Perth-based radio host, 26, took to Instagram earlier this week to share the exciting news, revealing she popped the question to the AFLW West Coast Eagles backline coach on Easter Saturday.
At a beach in Eagle Bay in Western Australia’s southwest, Triple M host Lamb pulled off what she called ‘the biggest blind side of all time’, presenting a ring to Pearman as their pet dog kicked up a sandy fuss.
‘Our three-year-old cavoodle, Reggie, managed to steal the moment at one stage, frantically digging and flicking sand all over the ring but we wouldn’t have had it any other way,’ Lamb said.
‘We celebrated with a delicious lunch at Fishbone and then had a bunch of friends surprise us at Aravina Estate.

‘We were overwhelmed with so much love and support from friends, family and Insta besties.
‘Thank you so much to everyone who made us feel so special.
‘Now, I need to sleep for a year. Wake me up when it’s our wedding.’
In her Instagram post, Lamb explained the proposal didn’t quite go as planned.
‘This morning we walked to our favourite spot in Eagle Bay and for the first time ever, [Martene] decided to do 10 minutes of bloody ‘breathing exercises’ on a gigantic rock. That wasn’t part of the plan,’ she wrote in her caption.
