The couple met on Instagram, when the Nine sports presenter took a chance and messaged Falkiner, asking her out for a drink.<\/p>\n

The TV presenter was overseas at the time, and it took months of messaging before they were finally able to grab one.<\/p>\n

\ufeffAfter their first date in October 2018, the relationship developed quickly, with Willis sharing with nine.com.au, “Lesbians will sometimes say things go from zero to 100 and it’s so true.<\/p>\n

“We literally were inseparable for the whole summer, and spent every moment together. I started thinking, ‘You know what? I want this for the rest of my life’.”<\/p>\n

Willis quietly began planning a proposal, with Falkiner returning from their holiday in Vanuatu with a ring on her finger\ufeff just months later.<\/p>\n

Sixteen months before Spencer’s birth, their oldest son Hunter came into the world.\ufeff<\/p>\n

When asked what they loved the most about each other, Willis and Falkiner both pinpointed kindness as the other’s key quality.<\/p>\n

“[Fiona] also has this quality where she can walk into a room and everything for me just stops, and I’m just like, ‘Wow, that’s who I’m marrying’,” Willis added before the wedding.<\/p>\n

“Tell you what, it was the best thing I’ve ever done, send [that] message on Instagram. The modern-day love story, I guess.”<\/p>\n

So far, no reason has been given for the pair’s sad decision to part ways. \ufeff<\/p>\n
