The whirlwind romance between Carlton superstar Charlie Curnow and fashion stylist Tiana Simic has gone up a significant level with the couple announcing on social media that they are engaged.

Both Curnow and Simic went public with the news on Tuesday, less than a year after turning heads on the red carpet at the Brownlow Medal.

Last year’s Brownlow was really the hard launch of their relationship.

Prior to that, they had kept things low key after firing up a romance earlier in the year.

Now, they are engaged, with Simic releasing a series of photos on her Instagram — including a blurry photo of her with the ring on her finger — with the caption, “foreverrrrr <3 !!!!!!!!!!” (for those who are unaware, the back arrow and the 3 is a keyboard shortcut for a love heart).

Meanwhile, Curnow dropped the same photo in his Insta story.

AFL stars such as Josh Daicos and Bailey Smith were among those to comment on the loved-up couple’s exciting news.

“Congrats you two,” Daicos said, while his high-profile fiancée Annalise Dalins said: “so so happy for you both 🥰 xx”

It is a little bit of joy for Curnow who has had a challenging AFL season in 2025.

The 28-year-old has only managed 32 goals this year from 18 games, well down on his usual output.

Curnow is a two-time All-Australian and was the league’s leading goalkicker in both 2022 and 2023.

At the end of July, the club decided to conduct surgery on his knee and put him on ice for the rest of the season.

“While Charlie wanted to finish the season strongly, and we would have loved to have him out there for the remaining games, after further consultation this week it became clear that this would give Charlie the best chance to get himself right, recover fully over the off-season and be ready for when we return for the start of pre-season,” Carlton said at the time.

“Waiting until the end of the season could have impacted that, so we’ve taken the sensible approach.

“As we’ve seen in the back half of this season, we’ve been able to give opportunities to players who have been able to step up at senior level and show some real promise.”
