Brazilian rugby player Isadora Cerullo and her girlfriend got engaged in public at the Deodoro Stadium in Rio. As the crowd dispersed after the Australian women’s rugby sevens team won a gold medal against New Zealand on Tuesday, Marjorie Enya, 28, a volunteer stadium worker, walked onto the pitch.
Enya asked Cerullo to marry her. Happily, Cerullo, 25, said ‘yes’ and the pair kissed and hugged while the crowd cheered and that was broadcast around the world and celebrated on social media.
They seem to be so happy after the proposal. Brazillian rugby player Isadora Cerullo locks lips with her new fiancee, the Olympic worker Marjorie Enya after the proposal. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Brazil since 2013 and Enya told BBC Sport she had not been nervous about proposing to her partner of two years.
“I know rugby people are amazing and they would embrace it,” she said in an interview. “She is the love of my life.” At the Olympics, Brazil’s rugby sevens team beat Japan but lost to Great Britain in the general tournament
