The proposal took place in Europe where Pereira was training for the upcoming Olympics.

According to the captions of Pereira’s post, Tan popped the question on Sunday (9 June) in Stockholm, Sweden.

Pereira wrote: “Cheers to your 30th, 3 years together, and to the rest of our lives!!!!!!!!”

Back in 2022, she shared with Her World that they started dating in 2021, after being friends for four years.

Three photographs from the engagement accompanied the post.

The first image depicts the pair kissing while Pereira holds a bouquet bearing a heart between their names.

In the second image, she shows off her engagement ring and flowers while Tan holds her hand.

The final picture shows a beaming Tan on his knee, presumably asking the all-important question.
