Speaking on the Kyle and Jackie O Show this morning, the 26-year-old revealed she was proposed to by boyfriend of two years Jimmy Bedford just before Christmas last year.Fittingly for the singer/songwriter, he popped the question with a sweet studio recording.The pair met at a pub just before the pandemic broke out when Bedford complimented Tones’ beanie, the musician explained today.Two years later – after another trip to the pub – Tones, real name Toni Watson, was stunned when Bedford welcomed her home with a surprise.“I got back from the pub … and [Jimmy] was like, ‘Oh come down to the studio I want to show you something.’“I thought he’s just like farted into the mic and put reverb on it or something,” she joked.“So I press play and he’s like … ‘Hey … I love you’ and all that stuff we say to each other, and then I turned around … he was laughing because he was so nervous … and at the end, it said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and when I turned around he was on one knee, and on his right knee he had tattooed ‘Will you marry me?’” the singer told Kyle and Jackie O.Tones is notoriously private about her personal life, only revealing her “secret boyfriend” for the first time in July last year.Speaking on the Kyle and Jackie O Show at the time, Tones revealed she had been dating Bedford for 18 months.“I have actually been with my partner for a year-and-a-half now. It’s going so well. He’s just the perfect person for me,” she said. “He was a brickie [bricklayer], and now he’s my stage tech. In the last year-and-a-half, he’s gone to university, studied, got his bachelor’s.“He comes on tour with me. He lives with us. He plays footy for Frankston Bombers. He’s my best friend. He’s hilarious.”The couple have only appeared together in a few posts on social media, mostly on Bedford’s personal Instagram page.The four-time ARIA winner from Victoria shot to fame in 2019 with the release of the smash hit Dance Monkey, which reached number one in over 30 countries.Last year marked the released of her album, Welcome to the Madhouse, which debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart.Prior to her rise to mainstream prominence, the singer lived in a van in Byron Bay where she spent her time busking.This led her to meeting Jackson Walkden-Brown, who soon became her manager.“I came up to Byron and on the first night of busking a guy walked past and he was like, ‘Here’s my card.’ A month later, I was like, ‘What have I got to lose?’” she told ABC.
