Braith Anasta's ex fiancée Rachael Lee celebrates her engagement to Bra Boys boyfriend Evan Faulks with intimate party
Rachael Lee, who made headlines in May after Faulks got down on one knee, took to Instagram to share a slew of snaps and videos of the special day.
The happy couple celebrated their engagement with cheese boards, fruit skewers and a metre-long pavlova, as well as a cake decorated with daisies and blueberries.
Rachael was glowing in a maroon patterned dress that dramatically fell to the floor and she accessorised her outfit with a chunky brown belt and cardigan.
Her husband-to-be opted for neutral tones in a white t-shirt, cream-coloured chinos and sandals.

'I'll love you forever...' she captioned one picture, which showed the happy couple gleaming as Rachael showed off her engagement ring.
'Celebrating our love w family & friends.. Forever blessed,' she captioned another.
Braith Anasta's ex Rachael announced her engagement two years after her split with the NRL star, who has played for teams such as Sydney Roosters and Wests Tigers.
The mother-of-two announced the exciting news in an Instagram post in May, sharing a video and pictures of Evan proposing during a trip to Uluru.
In the clip, Evan could be seen getting down on one knee in a romantic outback setting at sunset.
With tears of joy streaming down her face, the couple embraced and kissed.
'I knew from the moment I seen you, it was going to be forever - The universe always has a plan.. I love you always x,' Rachael wrote in the caption.
'FuturesMrsFaulks yippiiieee xx.'
Rachael looked ethereal in the video, wearing a boho chic two-piece ensemble featuring a long skirt and a matching top tied at the front.
It comes after she opened up about her relationship with Evan in April.
She told The Sunday Telegraph her romance is 'so beautiful and deep' and Evan was an amazing presence in her children Addison, 13, and seven-year-old Gigi's lives.
'My relationship with Evan is something I've never had before,' she said.
'I feel so beyond lucky to have him in mine, Addi and Gigi's lives. Evan is such an honest, loyal and kind soul and a really great father and partner.'
She also hinted they have 'really exciting future plans happening together'.
Rachael added that she and Braith have been navigating the role of co- parenting their daughter Gigi.
'Co-parenting comes with its ups and downs, and a lot of agreeing to disagree,' she added.
Evan has been romantically involved with Rachael since the start of last year.
They reportedly met at Crown Plaza in Coogee over Christmas the year before and were photographed together in public for the first time in May 2024 celebrating her 36th birthday.
In 2023, Evan was extradited from Queensland following a sprawling 18-month investigation into alleged drug consignments intercepted by US authorities.
Police allege he was a 'high-ranking member' of the Maroubra-based Bra Boys surf gang.
Evan faced court on March 19, 2024, charged with knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group, knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime with intent to conceal and dealing with property worth more than $100,000, which was suspected to be the proceeds of a crime.
The first two charges were withdrawn on that date, and Evan pleaded not guilty to the third.
Evan has been subjected to strict bail conditions, including remaining on good behaviour, reporting to Maroubra police station between 8am and 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and not going within 500m of any point of international departure.
Rachael and Braith confirmed their split in November, 2022, following months of rumours.
One month later, Rachael debuted her romance with Blake Hillen, a bricklayer and amateur boxer from the Sutherland Shire.
However, a source told Daily Mail Australia in 2023 that Rachael and Blake were once 'inseparable', but were now off - with both unfollowing each other on Instagram, and she later found love with Evan.
Braith went on to date Evie Tziomakis, but a source confirmed they had parted ways in June, 2024.

Ugarte goes public with British influencer & Mbappe's ex after months of rumours
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Manuel Ugarte has revealed his relationship with British influencer Georgia May Heath. Ugarte, 24, confirmed months of public speculation when he posted a snap of the holidaying duo to his social media. 6 6 6 He tagged May Heath alongside a heart emoji in the caption of an image of the pair enjoying their time on a yacht while holidaying in Spain. May Heath is a fashion and beauty influencer, boasting almost 230,000 Instagram followers and over 50,000 followers on TikTok. The 27-year-old was previously involved with French superstar Kylian Mbappe. The pair were seen having dinner together in Greece in 2021, and she was reported to be holidaying with the now-Real Madrid man as recently as January 2024. But rumours began swirling in April that the influencer - who splits her time between the UK and Australia - had moved on to the Frenchman's ex-PSG team-mate Ugarte. Eagle-eyed fans had previously noticed that the background to some of May Heath's photos resembled those seen in Ugarte's snaps from home. Those Instagram sleuths seem to have been proven right with Ugarte's announcement. There appears to be no bad blood between Ugarte and his ex-team-mate, with Mbappe's account liking the couple's post on Instagram. 6 6 Manchester United fans will hope the relationship will help the Uruguayan move on from a lacklustre season. Ugarte arrived from PSG last summer for a fee of around £43m. His arrival did not provide the impact that fans had hoped for, however, with Ruben Amorim's men slumping to a 15th place finish in the Premier League. Manchester United might be poised to raid PSG once again for a midfield partner for Ugarte in Spanish all-rounder Fabian Ruiz. 6
