Posed on one knee in front of his partner Emma, he gazed up with a beaming smile in the courtyard of a stunning villa.
Dubai-based Emma covered her mouth in shock before pulling Joss in for an adorable kiss.
Wearing a sparkly silver minidress, she flashed the sparkler for the camera while tucking into a tasty-looking banquet with her other half.
Joss, donning a casual blue shirt, puffed away on a cigar while enjoying the special day.
In his caption, he penned a romantic open letter to his new fiancee, telling her he's on "cloud nine" and promising to "stand by her side" forever.
He wrote: "Dear Emma, As far as clichés go, I've spent most of my life chasing things. Success, experiences, material rewards. I thought those were the things that would make me happy. And yes, I've built a good life but deep down, something was always missing.
"Now I know why… And I could look back and say it was wasted time, but the truth is, it all led me to you.
"You came into my life at a time and place I least expected. I wasn't searching anymore and I'd stopped looking for 'the one.' And then there you were.
"I still remember the first time I spoke to you. The way you looked at me. That moment is engraved in my memory forever, along with last night when I dropped to one knee.
"Now I truly understand what happiness is. It's not what you have, it's who you share it with. Everything else is just extra.

"Right now, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. The old me would've kept this to himself. I'd of cringed at this kind of message…but today, I'm proud. I'm proud to say I've found my person.
"Thank you, Emma. For loving me, for believing in me and for making me the man I am today.
"I promise to love you, protect you and stand by your side for the rest of our lives. 10.06.2025."
The couple received heaps of support from their celeb friends in the comments section.
Towie star Jasmin Walia commented: "Josssss (lyn) so happy for you !"
Geordie Shore's Kyle Christie added: "Congratulations to both of you, always thought you were already married @roguesnaps."
Love Island alum Tom Clare chimed in with: "Congratulations!" with Scott Thomas saying: "go on the boy," followed by a string of heart emojis.
Claudia Fogarty, Gabby Allen, Holly Hagan, Cally-Jane Beech, Davide Sanclimenti and Anton Danyluk also sent words of support.
Joss first rose to fame in 2014 when he joined Ex on the Beach series one, arriving as Talitha Minnis's ex.
He also had flings on the show with Emma Jane Lang and Chloe Goodman, and returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars.
He later competed on MTV's The Challenge, becoming known for his athletic ability and competitive streak.
Off-screen, Joss had a short-lived romance with Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison and was later linked to Shelby Billingham, Olivia Walsh, Kayleigh Morris and Ellie O'Donnell.
But in recent years, the fitness coach has kept his love life mostly under wraps - until now.
He and Emma have been together for over two years, currently living between London and Dubai.
Joss Mooney's illustrious love life
HE made waves on Ex on the Beach over a decade ago as one of the show's most notorious heartthrobs.
Since then, Joss Mooney has had his fair share of on-screen drama and off-screen romances - but now, the fitness star has finally found lasting love after years of living the Lothario lifestyle.
Talitha Minnis (2014)
Joss entered Ex on the Beach Series 1 as Talitha's ex. Their fiery reunion set the tone for the drama-packed season, which aired in April 2014.
Emma Jane Lang (2014)
She arrived halfway through the series as another one of Joss's exes. The pair had a steamy connection, but things didn't last off-screen.
Chloe Goodman (2014)
Chloe and Joss shared a brief flirtation in the villa, adding to his growing rep as a ladies' man.
Shelby Billingham (2014)
Joss and Shelby had history before the show — and when she showed up in episode 6, it sparked more tension. Rumours of an off-screen reunion followed.
Vicky Pattison (Late 2014 – Early 2015)
After Ex on the Beach, Joss was linked to Geordie Shore's Vicky. The pair were pictured together several times but never made it official.
Kayleigh Morris (2016)
Joss returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars in 2016 as Kayleigh's ex. Their on-screen chemistry reignited interest in their past, though it didn't last long.
Olivia Walsh (2016)
Also in Series 5, Olivia arrived as one of Joss's exes. Viewers saw sparks — but nothing serious materialised beyond filming.
Ellie O'Donnell (2019)
Joss went Instagram official with influencer Ellie in 2019. The couple looked loved-up in snaps but quietly split after a few months.
Emma Louise (2023 – now)
After years of high-profile flings, Joss went Instagram official with pilates instructor Emma Louise in early 2023. The couple now split their time between London and Dubai. On June 10, 2025, he popped the question during a romantic dinner in Marbella — and she said yes.
