The Zac Lomax engagement has been confirmed after the Western Force and Wallabies hopeful proposed to long term partner Kayla Green during a romantic beachside moment over the weekend. Lomax, 26, got down on one knee and asked Green to marry him, with the couple later sharing the news on social media. The announcement quickly attracted attention across the rugby community as the former rugby league star continues his rise in rugby union ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
Green revealed the engagement through a heartfelt Instagram post that included a video of the proposal and a glimpse of her engagement ring.
“The best day of my life, I can’t wait to spend forever with you,” Green wrote alongside the video shared with followers.
The footage showed Lomax proposing on a beach in an intimate setting before the couple celebrated the special moment together.
The engagement news was warmly received by fans and fellow athletes, with several rugby figures sharing congratulatory messages online.
Social Media Celebration Draws Strong Support
The announcement quickly generated significant engagement across social media platforms.
Friends, supporters and members of the rugby community flooded the comments section with messages of congratulations for the couple.
Among those offering their best wishes were rugby players Bailey Simonsson, Jordan Samrani and Carlo Tizzano.
The positive reaction highlighted Lomax’s popularity among teammates and rivals alike as he continues to build his profile within Australian rugby.
The proposal video also attracted attention because of the engagement ring featured in the footage.
According to reports, the bespoke radiant cut diamond ring was created by celebrity jeweller Affinity Diamonds.
The ring became a talking point among followers who praised its design and craftsmanship following the announcement.
Couple Preparing for an Exciting New Chapter
Reports have also indicated that Green is pregnant with the couple’s first child.
While the couple have not publicly discussed additional details, the reports suggest the engagement comes during a particularly significant period in their lives.
The prospect of marriage and parenthood marks an exciting new chapter for Lomax and Green as they prepare for their future together.
Green currently works as a police officer and has been a long term supporter of Lomax throughout his sporting career.
Their relationship has remained largely private despite Lomax’s growing public profile.
The engagement announcement provided fans with a rare glimpse into the personal side of one of Australian rugby’s most recognisable athletes.
Lomax Continues Transition to Rugby Union
Away from his personal life, Lomax remains focused on establishing himself in rugby union after making a high profile switch earlier this year.
The talented outside back originally built his reputation in rugby league, where he developed into one of the game’s most dangerous attacking players.
His performances earned him representative honours and helped establish him as one of the most versatile backs in Australia.
Lomax made his debut for Australia in 2024 before deciding to pursue a new challenge in rugby union.
The move attracted significant interest given his athleticism, speed and strong kicking game.
Many observers believed those qualities would translate effectively to the fifteen player code.
Western Force Move Creates World Cup Opportunity
Earlier this year, Lomax signed a two year contract with Rugby Australia and joined the Western Force.
The agreement represented a major investment in a player viewed as having the potential to become a key contributor for the Wallabies.
The timing of the move is particularly significant because Australia will host the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
With the tournament approaching, players across the country are competing for opportunities to impress national selectors.
Lomax has already been mentioned as a potential contender for future Wallabies squads if he continues developing within the rugby union environment.
His combination of experience, athletic ability and attacking instincts makes him an intriguing option for coaches looking to strengthen Australia’s backline depth.
Focus Remains on Rugby Ambitions
Although the engagement has generated headlines, Lomax remains committed to achieving his professional goals.
The transition from rugby league to rugby union presents challenges, particularly when adapting to different tactical systems and positional requirements.
However, early signs have suggested the former league star is embracing the opportunity.
The Western Force view Lomax as an important part of their plans moving forward, while Rugby Australia hopes his development can contribute to the national program ahead of the World Cup.
Strong performances at Super Rugby level over the next two seasons could place him firmly in contention for higher honours.
For now, though, the spotlight is firmly on the happy news away from the field.
Bright Future Ahead for Lomax and Green
The engagement announcement has provided a memorable personal milestone for Lomax during a transformative period in his sporting career.
As he works toward establishing himself in rugby union and pursuing Wallabies selection, he will do so with the support of his future wife by his side.
The overwhelming reaction from fans, teammates and fellow players demonstrates the affection and respect both enjoy within the sporting community.
With wedding plans likely to follow and reports of a growing family adding further excitement, the future appears bright for the couple.
For Lomax, the weekend was not about rugby matches, training sessions or future World Cup ambitions.
Instead, it was about making a lifelong commitment to the person he hopes to spend forever with.
