Brittany Hockley joked that she was practicing “making babies” as she talked about her romantic “engagement moon” with new fiancé Benjamin Siegrist.
The Bachelor star, 36, recently returned from a lavish trip to the Maldives with Swiss goalkeeper Ben, 32, after proposing on the beach last month.
Brittany has now shared a glimpse into their ‘engagement moon’, hinting they were getting in the romantic mood during a chat with her best friend Laura Byrne.
Brittany kicked off their latest Life Uncut podcast episode by saying, “We’re back from our baby vacation – wow, that sounded like I had a baby, I meant a mini vacation!”
She then cheekily teased, “I was on a break and was practicing making babies, so it was kind of a baby break!”, which amused her co-host Laura.
The I’m A Celebrity Australia star then gave an insight into how her relationship with Benjamin has changed since they got engaged.
She excitedly told him that she loved him even more since they got engaged and sweetly said that she knew he was “the one” when they first started dating.
“I love him so much, even before we got engaged I knew he was The One. I just loved him so much! When we got engaged I loved him even more,” she shared.

‘I look at him all the time – it’s disgusting and I’m disgusted with myself – I look at him and think, “I just can’t believe you’re mine,” and then I throw up in my mouth.’
She also shared that she finds their long-distance relationship more difficult after their engagement, as she wants to spend more time with him.
The couple currently divide their time between Australia and Scotland, where Benjamin lives and plays as a goalkeeper for Celtic FC
Despite their engagement, they still live at a distance for the time being, although Benjamin is considering moving to Australia in the future.
“I don’t think it’s going to change much,” Ben recently said of their long-distance relationship. “I asked her to marry me because I’m in love, so that doesn’t change… It doesn’t really change for me or for us.”
‘Of course the end goal is to live together, of course… Sometime in the future, after my career or just before my career ends, I would like to live in Australia. I love Australia. I love the people, how friendly they are.’

While Brittany added, “For us, it’s just working out so far and it’s going to continue to work out because right now, I’m not saying yes to marrying someone because of the day-to-day. I’m saying yes to marry the person that he is.”
Brittany announced their engagement last month in an adorable post that shared insight into Benjamin’s romantic beach proposal.
In photos shared to Instagram, Brittany looked overjoyed as she beamed from ear to ear and showed off her diamond sparkler.
In an accompanying caption, she wrote enthusiastically, “In every life it’s a YES! Just two people loving each other for the rest of their lives.”
Brittany revealed on her podcast Life Uncut that the engagement ring was made in Dubai and has a hidden halo beneath the diamond in a pavé setting.
She also explained that the diamond is lab-grown, which is cheaper and more ethical compared to natural diamonds.
Whenever Ben and I talked about it [engagement]”I said I wanted two things: I wanted yellow gold. And the other thing, I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,” Brittany said.

‘Ben didn’t really know about it at the time, but he said, “Don’t you want a real diamond?” And I said, “It’s identical. It’s exactly the same, except it’s ethically sourced.”‘
The cost of a lab-grown diamond is about 40 to 50 percent less than a naturally mined diamond, but it is still a real diamond.
Brittany officially entered into a relationship with Benjamin on Instagram in January last year, after they met on the dating app Raya in November 2022.
They met through the dating app while Benjamin and his Celtic FC teammates were playing against Sydney FC in Australia.
