British musician Example, whose real name is Elliot Gleave, has announced his engagement to his partner, art advisor Daisy Cox. The 43-year-old artist shared the joyful news with his fans via a heartfelt Instagram post on Boxing Day.
A Festive Diamond Surprise
The couple's engagement took place on Christmas Day. Example revealed the romantic setup, explaining he had hidden the engagement ring inside a Christmas cracker. He posted a series of beaming photographs showing Daisy proudly displaying her new sparkling diamond ring.
The musician captioned the post with a playful nod to the unique proposal: 'Hid a diamond inside a cracker. Got the best reaction ever from another absolute cracker…' He described the day as the 'most magical one ever,' a sentiment only briefly challenged by their young son's later illness.
A Growing Family in 2024
This happy news follows another major milestone for the pair earlier this year. Example and Daisy, who began their relationship in 2023, confirmed the birth of their first child, a son named Luke. The singer humorously referenced this in his announcement, noting that later on their engagement day, 'Lukey decided he wanted to have a bit of a fever and be sick everywhere, made it all about him.'
He added a light-hearted joke for his followers, writing: 'We don’t blame him… When you see people this in love it can make you (sick emoji).' The post was signed off with 'Merry Xmas everybody. Elliot & Daisy xx,' marking a significant personal update from the artist known professionally as Example.
From Dating to Engaged
The couple's relationship has progressed quickly since they first started dating in 2023. The arrival of their son and now their engagement cements a whirlwind few years for the pair. Fans and friends have flooded social media with congratulations for the newly engaged couple, celebrating their festive family news.
