Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio has announced her engagement to Australian jewelry designer Buck Palmer following a romantic proposal on the pristine beaches of Indonesia, according to reports from Hola.com and other outlets. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel shared the milestone with her followers through an Instagram post featuring photographs from the island of Sumba, near Bali, where Palmer knelt in the sand to ask for her hand in marriage.
The couple, who have been romantically linked for nearly two years after first sparking connections at an Art Basel Miami event in 2024, celebrated the moment surrounded by crystal-clear waters and a heart-shaped arrangement of rose petals. Ambrosio, 45, stunned onlookers in a cream-colored two-piece bikini during the beach proposal, while Palmer, 44, wore black shorts in the relaxed setting reported by Hola.com.
Confirming the engagement in her social media caption, Ambrosio wrote verbatim: “Te elegiría en esta vida y en todas las demás. Para siempre, mi amor,” as detailed by original source reporting. The engagement ring featured a prominent diamond that quickly drew attention from fans and peers across social media platforms.

Speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship status intensified earlier this year when Ambrosio was spotted wearing a gold band on her left ring finger during a beach outing in Miami, as reported by the Daily Mail. Sources close to the fashion model indicated to the Daily Mail in April that friends anticipated a wedding due to the serious nature of their bond, with insiders suggesting Palmer likely designed the ring himself given his profession.
The engagement marks the second time Ambrosio has accepted a marriage proposal. She was previously engaged in 2008 to businessman Jamie Mazur, with whom she shares two children, Anja and Noah, before their relationship ended in 2018, according to Hola.com records. Palmer was previously married to Ashley Hart from 2015 to 2017.
Shared Passions and Future Plans
Throughout their two-year relationship, Ambrosio and Palmer have maintained a public display of affection, sharing travels and documenting their lifestyle across social platforms. In a previous interview with Us Weekly cited by the Daily Mail, the Brazilian runway star noted that their connection thrives on a shared outlook: “We just love life to the fullest.” She added that they focus on enjoying small moments together and building a lasting foundation rooted in mutual energy.
