Megan Gale engaged to AFL player Shaun Hampson

Megan Gale is engaged to AFL player Shaun Hampson.

The couple, who are expecting their second child, shared the news on Instagram on Thursday night.

The model made the announcement on her Instagram account, sharing a picture of her newly-adorned finger, alongside a newly-chipped pinky nail.

"For goodness sake, can't a girl go for leisurely beach stroll without chipping a nail?!" Gale joked. "Well.. at least I had some nice rocks to look at. I know you're not supposed to remove shells and rocks from the beach and take them home with you, but I did find one rock that was pretty special and I just had to keep it."

In a subsequent post, Gale shared a picture of herself with the Richmond player and their son River, three, revealing the toddler was part of the "sweetest proposal [she] could've ever hoped for".

"Both of my boys completely surprised me and made my heart melt," she shared, adding that she may have "cried a little bit". "The big fella even managed to effortlessly get down on one knee - not easy for a ruckman that's had five knee operations! He must REALLY love me!"

On behalf of Shaun and myself thanks to everyone for all of your lovely messages. Needless to say we're thrilled  This photo was taken moments after the sweetest proposal I could've ever hoped for. Both of my boys completely surprised me and made my heart melt (I may have cried a little bit!). The big fella even managed to effortlessly get down on one knee - not easy for a ruckman that's had five knee operations! He must REALLY love me!  But seriously, to my man, the amount of time, effort and energy you put into designing a ring for me was just beautiful. Honestly, just the proposal itself was the biggest and most important gesture you could've ever made and to involve our son was the most special part of all. And our little bump was there too which just made it all perfect ☺️ I am one lucky, lucky lady  Oh and PS for those of you concerned about the nail, it has since been buffed, filed & polished - PHEW
