Australian tennis champion Ash Barty has spilled a few more details on her recent engagement to Garry Kissick.
Chatting to the Courier Mail this week, Ash, who announced her relationship milestone a few weeks ago, revealed that the pair had a rather low-key engagement. In fact, Garry popped the question while they were chilling on the couch at home.
“Garry and I have been together for a long time now and I had designed the ring with him,” she revealed.
“We are obviously excited now for the next chapter. We were at home on the couch with the puppies. It was very much just us. It was perfect for us. Everyone has their unique way of doing it,” Ash mused.
The 2021 Wimbledon winner also shed some light on why she took her time announcing the engagement publicly, apparently taking about a week to enjoy her quiet engagement.
Apparently, Ash and Garry wanted to take their time informing family and close friends before making a big announcement, and at one point, they questioned whether they would make it public at all.
They ultimately decided to, announcing the engagement on November 23.
“Future Husband 💍❤️ @gazlfc90,” she simply captioned an Instagram post featuring herself and Garry, her finger adorned with the ring she had helped design.
“15/11/2021 💍 I love you @ashbarty ❤” Garry shared on his own social media.
The couple were congratulated in the comments by a number of their high-profile friends.
“Yerrrrrr legend !!!! How good,” wrote Elyse Knowles.
“Congratulations Ash & Garry!! What a match!” commented Sunrise presenter Mark Beretta.
“Cheers to the future ❤️Those smiles 🙌🏼,” penned Ben Crowe, Ash’s mindset coach.
Chantelle Otten, who is the partner of Ash’s colleague and fellow tennis player, Dylan Alcott, simply left a row of happy emojis.
Ash and Garry have been together since 2016, meeting at Brooklands Golf Club in Queensland in 2016, where Garry was working and Ash was playing a round of golf. You can read their love story here.
Garry is regularly spotted attending Ash’s matches, and was there at Wimbledon when she made her historic win, becoming Australia’s first women’s singles winner since Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who won in 1980.
Ash is beloved by many in the sporting world for her love of the sport and her relaxed, balanced approach to life and her sporting her career.
