Olympia Valance flaunts her whopping new engagement ring

She announced her engagement to her AFL star boyfriend, Thomas Bellchambers, on Thursday.

And just two days later, Olympia Valance, 27, couldn’t help but show off her whopping new sparkler in a cute video, as she cuddled up to her other half on vacation in Queensland’s Orpheus Island.

In the footage, the former Neighbours star was seen lapping up the sun as she twinkled her jaw-dropping diamond ring in the light.

Clearly surprised she was taking a video, her hunky husband-to-be, 31, jokingly put his leg over the camera – causing Olympia to grin in response. 

The actress had made the sweet announcement two days prior, sharing a photo of herself locking lips with her now fiancé to tell fans of the news.

 ‘Today is a special day. The man of my dreams proposed to me,’ she wrote in the caption.

‘I get to marry my best friend,’ she added, tagging her beau in the post. 

Olympia, who is the younger sister of Holly Candy (née Valance), also shared a photo of the lavish bento box-style spread Thomas prepared for the beachside picnic.

It included seafood, cheese, crackers, fresh fruits and chocolate covered strawberries with ‘I love you 4ever’ written on each berry, near the purple box for the sparkler.

There was also a bottle each of rosé and Veuve Clicquot Champagne to mark the special occasion.

‘I mean this on a personal level, but very much on a professional level too. Congratulations on an incredibly successful career my big boy,’ she added.

Olympia and Thomas began dating in June 2019 after meeting him on the ultra-exclusive celebrity dating app, Raya.

Speaking to Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa show back in October 2019, the actress was asked about how she met Thomas, she said ‘I cannot believe no one has ever asked me this question… Do I lie?’

After hesitating, she continued: ‘It’s an app for people who are in the public eye, it’s this app called Raya.’

Olympia said that after ‘matching’ with the footballer, the pair started chatting and soon realised they went shopping at the same Melbourne food market.
