Australian model Megan Gale quietly married Shaun Hampson in 2024, but didn’t reveal the exciting news until a year later.
Megan, 50, made the decision to keep her nupitals to ex-AFL player Shaun private.
In an intimate interview with Marie Claire Australia, the 50-year-old revealed vows were exchanged in a small ceremony in December 2024 on Vomo Island in Fiji, surrounded by only their mothers and children.
“When so much of my life has been public, it was really nice to not have this shared or over-shared,” Megan said. “We wanted it just for us and the family. We told them at dinner the night before, there was a lot of ‘What? No way!'”
“But it made it more special.”
With this exciting news sending the internet into a tizzy, below is everything you need to know about their relationship and their sweetest moments.
Who is Megan Gale’s partner?
Megan is engaged to Shaun Hampson, a former Australian rules footballer.
They started dating in January 2011.
Six years later, in July 2017, the couple announced their engagement.
They were engaged for seven years, and were clearly in no rush before their December 2024 wedding.
During an appearance on the Something To Talk About podcast in 2024, Megan joked, “It has been the longest engagement ever,” before clarifying:
“Look, [getting married] was always something that we were in no rush to do. Traditionally everyone’s like, ‘Get engaged, plan the wedding, have the kids.’
“I’ve never been a really big wedding girl. The whole lot seems like a lot of work for me. I’m just exhausted thinking about it.”
What is the age difference between Megan Gale and her husband?
There’s a 12 year age gap between Megan and Shaun.
Megan was born on August 7, 1975 (meaning she’s currently 50) and Shaun was born on March 21, 1988 (meaning he’s currently 37).
Who is the father of Megan Gale’s children?
Megan and Shaun have two children.
They welcomed their first child – a son named River – in May 2014, and their second child – a daughter named Rosie – in September 2017.
