MAFS STAR JONO ENGAGED: 'I FEEL LIKE I'VE WON LOTTO!'

It was puppy love when TV's Jonathan Trenberth met his fiancé Josh Martyn

Jonathan Trenberth was at his lowest when he met the love of his life, Josh Martyn, on Tinder during lockdown. "I'd hit rock bottom, confesses Jono, who appeared on the 2019 season of Married At First Sight NZ.

"My health was really bad and I'd lost my job on the back of a pandemic, right after being on a reality show, which was traumatic in itself. Then I lost someone really close to me and my mental health was in the gutter. I felt I didn't have anything to offer anyone. But now I'm glad I went through everything because I'm happy with where I've landed."

Newly engaged, Jono, 35, and Josh, 34, excitedly share the moment the reality star popped the question during a glamping trip in a beautiful valley just outside Waitomo. Laughing, Josh recalls, "Jono told me he'd booked a romantic getaway. I was a bit suspicious, but I didn't want to count my chickens before they hatched." 

Jono continues, "I was 95% certain he was going to say yes, but that 5% of doubt made me nervous. It poured down with rain the first day, so we just snuggled by the fire. By the time the weather cleared, I was like a balloon about to pop.
