She Said Yes! Kayla Itsines Announces Engagement to Boyfriend of One Year, Jae Woodroffe
Kayla Itsines said yes! The multi-millionaire fitness influencer announced her engagement to her boyfriend of one year, Jae Woodroffe.
Sharing the exciting news to her 14 million Instagram followers, Itsines showed off her ring, her man and her beaming smile after Woodroffe got down on one knee.
“YES #engaged @jaewoodroffe @itsjlahhere,” the SWEAT app co-founder captioned the post.
Woodroffe also shared the memorable moment on his own Instagram, writing underneath a photo of them: “When you know, you know @kayla_itsines.”
Despite dating for a year, the couple only announced their relationship to the public seven months ago, in January of this year.
Previously, Itsines was engaged to Tobi Pearce, with whom she shares two-year-old daughter Arna Leia with.
“Meet Jae, everyone! My best friend for years and now, partner,” Itsines captioned a photo of the pair.
“For all those people replying to my stories saying ‘you look really happy’ … thank you!! I am,” she later updated the caption to read.
Itsines co-founded SWEAT with Pearce, with whom she was in a relationship for eight years before calling it quits in August 2020, six months after they got engaged.
“After eight years, Tobi and I have come to the difficult decision to separate as a couple. We will always be family, and remain good friends and devoted parents to Arna,” Itsines posted at the time.
“We have grown up together in Adelaide, sharing a lifetime of experiences and special memories from moving into our first apartment and starting SWEAT from our lounge room to becoming parents to our beautiful daughter.
“Our friendship remains strong as we parent Arna together and run SWEAT as business partners. Thank you for your support and kindness during this time.”
The former power couple sold their fitness empire for $400 million to US tech giant iFIT Health & Fitness Inc last year, but despite the handover, Itsines reassured members that SWEAT would remain a “stand-alone brand”.
“I will still be your trainer, and all of our programs are not changing or going anywhere,” she said.
“iFIT is a global health and fitness technology company that will invest in SWEAT to strengthen our member experience. They will also help us expand into other countries and diversify our workout content which is so exciting.”
