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.

"Thank you, Emma. For loving me, for believing in me and for making me the man I am today.

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.

Maria Sharapova in new look transformation post-tennis retirement
Tennis great Maria Sharapova has undergone a striking new-look transformation since her playing days, leaving a number of fans doing a double take as she was pictured at an event earlier this week. Sharapova (38) retired from professional tennis in 2020 and shot to fame as a fresh-faced teenager, when she beat top seed Serena Williams in the final at Wimbledon to lift the title aged just 17. She kept her iconic blonde locks throughout her career, but Sharapova now has a different look five years after leaving the sport behind. Alongside her British businessman fiance Alex Gilkes, she attended the 60th anniversary celebration of the Hotel II Pellicano in Monte Argentario, Italy, on Monday, with photos from the event leading fans to brand her as "unrecognisable", having ditched her famous blonde hair for a more natural brunette look. As a player, of course, Sharapova went on to win all four Grand Slam titles, following up her 2004 Wimbledon triumph with a US Open title two years later. The Russian star then won the Australian Open in 2008 before tasting victory twice at Roland Garros as she won the French Open in both 2012 and 2014, having also reached the final in 2013. In 2012, she won an Olympic silver medal at the London Games, losing to Williams in the women's singles final at SW19. As well as being the third-youngest woman to win a Wimbledon title, Sharapova also became the first Russian player to complete a career Grand Slam. Her accolades weren't just confined to the tennis court, however, as her global profile soared and she was named as "the hottest athlete in the world" by Maxim for four consecutive years. The tennis star was also named as one of the top 100 most powerful celebrities in the world by Forbes between 2005 and 2011, while she modelled for the likes of Sports Illustrated. However, Sharapova's illustrious career was marred n 2016 when she received a 15-month suspension - reduced from two years - for failing a drug test for meldonium. While she owned up to the mistake, she maintained that she had mistakenly taken the drug on her doctor's advice, without realising it had been banned by WADA. Since leaving tennis behind, Sharapova - who has 4.6 million followers on Instagram - has made the most of her life in retirement, jetting off on luxury trips with Gilkes, who she revealed she was engaged to in December 2020. In July 2022, the pair welcomed their first child, Theodore, together, with Sharapova's Instagram bio now proudly reading 'Mama'. The fomer tennis icon - who boasts career winnings of £31 million - has also successfully transitioned into business, launching her confectionary brand Sugarpova and investing in sunscreen brand supergoop at the height of her career. However, she has stepped up her business ambitions since retiring, investing in wellness brand therabody before joing the board of directors of top fashion brand Moncler in 2022. Sharapova also acts as an advisor to brands Naked Retail and Bright, while she has invested in several other companies including UFC, Tonal, Moonpay and Clio Snacks.
