Channel Seven's 'hottest reporter ever' Kristian Gaupset proposes to his Bachelor star girlfriend: 'Happiest day of my life'
Channel Seven 's 'hottest reporter ever' has taken himself off the market permanently.
Kristian Gaupset, who left the network in 2021 after 12 years, got down on one knee on Friday as he popped the question to his Bachelor star girlfriend Steph Harper.
The TV journalist-turned-model proposed in a romantic outdoor setting after Steph returned from a 'girls' trip' to Ibiza, and shared the video to Instagram.
'Happiest day of my life,' the former reality TV star wrote next to the video alongside a ring emoji.
The blonde beauty could be seen beaming as Kristian shared a sweet kiss with her before he dropped to one knee.
He wore a white, loose-fit shirt and matching slacks as he popped the question during a sunset picnic.
Steph, who appeared on the 2020 season of The Bachelor to find love with Locky Gilbert, wore a flowing red satin dress for the milestone occasion.
She left her blonde tresses down, styling them into loose waves.
The swimwear founder was in a state of shock when Kristian got down on one knee, covering her face with her hands before joining him on the ground.
Saying 'yes', she then leaned in for a sweet kiss and embrace as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
It seems Kristian and Steph have been dating since early 2021, with the former journalist featuring her on his Instagram for the first time in July that year.
'Mine,' he captioned the post next to a white heart emoji, before adding: 'Picked up a quality souvenir in Byron.'
Kristian made a name for himself as the 'hot' reporter on Channel Seven for many years.
He was flooded with messages from female admirers after his live cross on Seven News from the snow in New South Wales back in June 2021 went viral.
But after 12 years at Channel Seven, Kristian quit television that same year to pursue an unlikely role as Ausgrid Government's relations lead.
He continues to hold the position, but also notes in his Instagram bio that he is a model who splits his time between Sydney and the Gold Coast.
Kristian also dabbles in photography and travel content creation.
He first landed a job at Seven as a news producer in 2009 after studying journalism at the University of Technology in Sydney.
Kristian was promoted to senior news producer in 2016, and later given on-air presenting duties.
After going viral on TikTok for his smouldering good looks, he was signed up by leading talent agent Neon Model Management.
The journalist and model has since flaunted his lavish lifestyle online, including trips abroad, attending exclusive events and posing in front of luxury cars.
