Huge Kyle and Jackie O star reveals they're engaged - and it'll be a Vegas wedding covered live on radio

As a longtime listener and fervent admirer of Kyle and Jackie O‘s show, I can’t help but feel a palpable sense of excitement for the upcoming nuptials of Brooklyn and his beloved Damien. Having been fortunate enough to witness the camaraderie between these two gentlemen over the years, it’s truly heartwarming to see their journey culminate in this beautiful milestone.


A celebrity from the Kyle and Jackie O show has officially married their long-term partner and intends to broadcast their Las Vegas wedding over the airwaves in real time.

On a recent Friday, long-time KIIS FM newsreader Brooklyn Ross announced that he proposed to his partner, Damien Dirienzo, after ten years of working together at the radio station.

During a heartfelt conversation with hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, the radiant personality revealed that he had proposed to his partner, an intimate moment taking place over a romantic meal prepared at their home.

Brooklyn shared with his radio friends that, following five years as a couple with Damien, he recently proposed, and to his delight, Damien said “yes.

As the crew screamed with excitement, Kyle, 53, cheered: ‘It’s a big gay wedding. Oh wonderful.’

Afterward, the radio personality attributed his own brother Chris’ recent wedding as the source of inspiration that led Brooklyn to propose.

Being so deeply engrossed in your fandom, I can’t help but piece together events, especially since you graced Chris and Nat’s wedding with your presence. The raw emotions of that day left such an impact on you, didn’t they?” – Kyle

Brooklyn concurred, stating: “In reality, they hadn’t spent as much time together as I had with Damien. That was the crucial point, and I found myself thinking, ‘It’s time for us to take action now.’

The news anchor continued by sharing the story behind his plan to pop the question to Damien, explaining that his initial idea was to make the proposal during a radio broadcast.

Initially, I had planned to perform the action live and broadcast it. However, Jackie questioned, “Are you certain you wish to carry out this act here? Isn’t a more romantic setting appropriate?” I responded.

“In the end, I opted to prepare a meal at home myself. It was the same dish I prepared for him during his very first visit – a creative salmon and fennel concoction.

‘I had a little spread and red roses and candles and it was just such a perfect night.

After that, I led him out onto our balcony. In my thoughts, I pondered over what to say next, but when the moment came, I simply asked, “Would you like to get married?

Kyle and Jackie, both aged 49, found the proposal to be quite endearing, as they proceeded to show a video clip of the joyous occasion.

Onlookers noticed that Damien’s entrance into their shared home with Brooklyn was accompanied by the sight of a beautifully arranged romantic dinner, which suggested he had just returned home.

He appeared surprised. To his query of “What’s this?”, Brooklyn replied, “Just a small surprise meal.

Gosh, I’m nearly at a loss for words. What made you do that?” asked Damien, taken aback by the action and yet oblivious to the unexpected proposition that was imminent.

‘Because I have a question to ask you,’ Brooklyn confessed. 

Damien suddenly realized, exclaiming, “Hold up! Look at all those cameras! This is just… unexpectedly bizarre!

Brooklyn expressed his heartfelt feelings gently, “My dear, I have an important question for you before we embark on our journey together… Will you become my partner for life and share the ups and downs with me by accepting my proposal?” He knelt to underscore his sincerity.

‘Yes. Oh my god. Yes!’ Damien responded.

When Kyle and Jackie asked Brooklyn about the specifics of his upcoming wedding with Damien, he confessed that he desires a Las Vegas-style nuptials.

Damien and I are not particularly fond of a grand, church wedding. We prefer something different, as expressed by him.

‘We’re all going to be in Vegas in a week’s time, so I thought, let’s do a Vegas wedding.’

Kyle showed clear signs of enthusiasm, speaking up loudly about the prospect of a Vegas wedding for his work colleague and dear friend.

He said: ‘Not only are we going to the iHeart Music Festival. You and Jackie and your new husband are going to be going to New York. 

‘Then we’re all going to be in Los Angeles. This is going to be the greatest trip ever.’

Brooklyn concurred, expressing that he was contemplating a unique idea – combining the wedding and honeymoon by having an Elvis impersonator officiate the ceremony.

Additionally, he consented to exchange vows at A Little White Wedding Chapel, the same venue where Britney Spears quickly wed Jason Alexander in 2004, only to divorce him less than two days afterwards.

Brooklyn announced his engagement to Instagram just moments after sharing the news on live radio.

He posted pictures of the enchanting night during which he proposed to her, kneeling on one knee, while holding a Tiffany ring on their balcony.

Against the backdrop of the Sydney cityscape, Brooklyn prepared an outdoor dining setup with candles lit, making it perfect for them to enjoy a romantic dinner together, marking a special occasion.

Brooklyn confirmed his agreement, as indicated by his post’s caption on a series of images that showed him alongside Damien and their pet Pomeranian dog named Edamame.

Right before me lies the stunning, Tiffany-originated diamond ring Brooklyn proposed with – a ring we later returned. I can’t help but stare at it, still mesmerized by its beauty even though it no longer symbolizes our union.

On the Kyle and Jackie O show, Damien admitted that he truly cherished the ring. He disclosed that he asked Brooklyn to exchange the engagement ring for two wedding bands instead.

The ring is quite beautiful, but it isn’t suitable for daily wear. Instead, it’s an accessory that you might choose to wear for special occasions or events.

People who are well-known friends of Brooklyn flooded the comment section of his post to offer their congratulations and well-wishes.

TV host Beau Ryan replied, “Absolutely, my friend,” as his co-star from KIIS FM, ‘Intern Pete’ Deppeler, chimed in with, “Congratulations! Best news yet!

Julia Morris, the host of I’m A Celebrity, expressed great excitement, saying, ‘I’m so delighted for you both!’ Media personality Georgia Love reciprocated with her own congratulations, saying ‘Congratulations!’

Coop Johns, a fellow cast member on Kyle and Jackie O’s show and ex-rugby player, penned: “Victory goes to love. Bravo, my friend!

In 2019, newsreader Brooklyn and her partner Damien started dating. She was the one who initially shared a photo of them as a couple, taken during a snowy getaway in August of the same year.
