Traitors star Loryn's FAIRYTALE ENGAGEMENT

She's proudly loyal and trustworthy, so lying and deceiving her way through The Traitors NZ couldn't have been more uncomfortable for Dancing With The Stars winner Loryn Reynolds.

In fact, playing a "traitor" on Three's new reality series was so out of character, Loryn came home to longtime love Blair Smith and collapsed on the floor, bawling and "slightly broken." 

"I cried my eyes out and was unable to talk for two hours because the show was so emotionally overwhelming," Loryn, 28, tells Woman's Day. "Blair was a great support, picking me up and bringing me McDonald's!"

While personal trainer Blair, 29, laughs about bringing her beloved fast food, she adores that he knew exactly what would bring her comfort. It's why the couple are a perfect match and have since cemented their love with a romantic engagement in Italy.

The globe-trotting adventure was a contrast to the early days of their relationship, spent confined at home during lockdowns. The two met at the Auckland gym Blair worked at in 2020 and quickly bonded over fitness, but he was wary of coming across as "the creepy trainer", so it was Loryn who finally asked him out.

"I'm bold that way," she laughs. "We had a strong connection. Then three weeks into dating, it was lockdown, so Blair moved in and never moved out! It just felt right."
