The happy couple, who are both members of the hit Australian children's entertainment group, announced the news just days after 'Purple Wiggle' Gillespie popped the question to 'Yellow Wiggle' Watkins by reading her a poem in Sydney over the weekend (02-03May15).

Gillespie tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "I took Emma to a location on the (Sydney) harbour which is one of our favourite little spots in Sydney... I was quite emotional, I was crying as I read the poem."

Watkins adds, "We were sitting by the water and Lachy started reading a poem... and I kept interjecting, then he started to kneel and I said, 'Oh my goodness this is happening'... We are so excited, I didn't know it was going to happen so soon. And we have had such positive feedback which is so lovely to see."

A statement from The Wiggles reads, "Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, Red Wiggle Simon Pryce, and all at The Wiggles HQ are thrilled and wish Emma and Lachy all the very best."

The stars have been dating for two years.
