Love is in the air for Strictly Come Dancing stars Tyler West and Molly Rainford. The couple, who first met on the popular BBC dance show three years ago, have announced their engagement following a magical proposal in Greece.
Tyler, a TV presenter, popped the question during a romantic holiday in Mykonos. As the sun set over the picturesque island, he got down on one knee and asked Molly to marry him. In an emotional video shared on Instagram, Tyler could be seen telling Molly: “I don’t know where to start… So I’m hoping you can continue making me the luckiest man on this Earth, like you do every single day. So baby, will you marry me?”
Overcome with emotion, Molly said yes, and the two shared tears of joy before celebrating their special moment. They captioned their joint post with the words: “Found our forever. 10.8.2025.”
The news was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends. Fellow presenter Melvin Odoom admitted he couldn’t stop smiling at the announcement, while singer Fleur East described the proposal as “the most beautiful.” Marvin Humes also congratulated the pair, calling them “two incredible people who are just perfect for each other.”
Molly and Tyler’s romance blossomed after their time on Strictly. While they tried to remain professional during filming, sparks began to fly during the show’s tour. Molly previously revealed that Tyler eventually asked her on a date after they had grown close behind the scenes. What started as a friendship quickly evolved into a strong, lasting relationship that has endured for three years.
On Strictly Come Dancing, Tyler partnered with pro dancer Dianne Buswell and finished eighth, while Molly reached the grand finale with Carlos Gu. Although they didn’t win the glitterball trophy, they certainly found something far more lasting, each other.
As Strictly prepares for its 2025 series, fans of the show are delighted to see two of its stars begin a brand-new chapter together. With wedding bells now on the horizon, Tyler and Molly’s love story proves that sometimes the real magic of Strictly happens off the dance floor.
