Breaking News: Collingwood football Captain Darcy Moore stuns fans and leaves Family and head coach Craig McRae Speechless with major announcement concerning his relationship with Dee Salmin during his interview about….

In a surprising twist that has rocked both the AFL world and his fanbase, Collingwood Football Club captain Darcy Moore made a heartfelt and unexpected revelation during a post-match interview earlier today. The 28-year-old premiership-winning skipper paused mid-discussion about the team’s recent performance to make an emotional announcement regarding his relationship with sports media personality Dee Salmin.

Speaking live on national television, Moore veered off from the usual football commentary to say, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to share for a while. Dee and I are engaged.”

The announcement was met with audible gasps from those present at the press conference, including his family members and head coach Craig McRae, who appeared visibly stunned. “I had no idea he was going to drop that during the interview,” McRae later told reporters. “But it’s Darcy. He leads with heart, on and off the field.”

Darcy and Dee have kept their relationship relatively private since they were first spotted together at the Brownlow Medal ceremony in 2023. While rumors had swirled among fans and media outlets, neither had confirmed the relationship publicly — until now.

Dee Salmin, known for her dynamic presence on Triple J and growing influence in sports broadcasting, later posted on Instagram: “He really did that, huh? Couldn’t be prouder of us. Love you, D.”

Reactions from the football community and beyond have poured in, with teammates and celebrities congratulating the couple across social media. Former Magpies captain Scott Pendlebury tweeted: “Congrats to the skipper and Dee — what a power couple!”

While Moore’s announcement may have momentarily shifted focus from the Pies’ dominant performance on the field, fans have embraced the moment as yet another reason to celebrate their inspirational leader.

The Collingwood Football Club is expected to release a formal statement congratulating the couple, and speculation is already growing about when and where the wedding might take place.

For now, Moore’s bold move has once again proven why he’s a fan favorite — not just for his talent, but for wearing his heart on his sleeve.
