Racing driver James Courtney announces his engagement to model girlfriend Tegan Woodford

James Courtney announced he is engaged to his girlfriend, Tegan Woodford, sharing a close-up photo of the gorgeous ring on Instagram on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old racer shared a photo of Tegan’s newly embellished hand resting on his following a romantic beachside proposal at Hardy Reef on the Great Barrier Reef.

‘She said yes!’ he simply captioned the message.

Meanwhile, Tegan also shared a photo of her glowing hand in front of the magnificent Great Barrier Reef.

She also included the date of their proposal, revealing that James had asked the question two days earlier.

“You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. @jcourtney 9/1/2022, ”she captioned the post, adding a red love heart emoji.

The auto racing champion went public with his relationship with Tegan in April of last year, and she has appeared regularly on his Instagram page since.

Prior to dating Tegan, James had a short-lived love affair with former cricketer WAG Kyly Clarke.

Kyly, 40, and James made their debut as a couple in the Bathurst 1000 race in New South Wales in October 2020.

According to a Daily Telegraph report at the time, Kyly was even spotted kissing James at the event.

“It’s the start, but they’re very happy,” a source told the publication.

Kyly reportedly first met James when she was just 11, before they later reconnected via social media.
