The post quickly drew hundreds of congratulatory comments, including messages from some of her fellow Bachelor stars.
'I knew that one of these sunset beach videos was going to be a proposal! SOOOOO HAPPY for you both! Congratulations!' gushed Irena Srbinovska.
'Congratulations darling!' added Georgia Glass, while Davey Lloyd chimed in with, 'Congrats guys xx.'
In the snaps, Bec kept things casual but chic in an oversized white jumper and black pants, while Kody opted for a tan pullover, beige shorts and a cap.
The pair, who have kept much of their relationship out of the spotlight, have reportedly been dating for several years and are said to be stronger than ever.
Their engagement comes as Bec continues to build her brand away from reality TV, having first risen to fame on Locky Gilbert's season of The Bachelor in 2020.
Bec previously made headlines when she was forced to break her silence on her long-running feud with former best friend and co-star, Bella Varelis.
The friendship soured after the pair shared a flat together in the beachside suburb.
Bec pulled no punches about the pair's acrimonious split when she was quizzed about their falling out during an Instagram Q&A.
'Bella and I have no contact whatsoever. I will never disclose the reasons why we are no longer friends,' she wrote.
She went on to say the two women have 'well and truly closed the chapter' as they continue on with their lives.
Bec has since moved on with her influencing career in the Sunshine Coast and Bella is an in-demand influencer in Sydney.
The once close former reality stars had a 'disagreement'.
'They had a disagreement a few months ago and unfollowed each other on Instagram,' a source told the publication.

Love Island couple ordered to leave the villa just hours before ITV final
One Love Island couple are being voted out of the villa by their former islanders. As we gear up for the semi-final of one of the most explosive Love Island seasons yet, two more islanders are set to be ruthlessly dumped from the villa, as they are voted out by their former friends and rivals, who aren't holding back. One couple won't make it to the final of the show, as the latest teaser reveals a tense moment where all the previously dumped Islanders return to the villa for one last, game changing decision. The official Love Island account took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, alongside the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Host Maya Jama appears to have returned to the villa one last time before she gets ready for the final, and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, Maya shouts: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining couples in the villa are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel, and Meg and Dejon, the Mirror reports. Maya delivers the news: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." Among the returning islanders is Sophie Lee, who joined at the start of the series and became the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy who was once considered a frontrunner to win, before being dumped by Shakira. The teaser sent fans into a frenzy as they speculated which couple the dumped islanders would be giving the boot. One viewer wrote: "Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up", while another simply stated: "Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!" A third shared their thoughts and penned: "For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof." A forth fan stated: "Do the right thing and only let Yas, Jamie, or Cach near that money for goodness sake," while another expressed: "I swear if Shakira, Toni, or Yaz go home, I might have to have some therapy sessions" Only time will tell who the dumped Islanders will vote for and which couple will say their goodbyes just a day before the final. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, and the final will air tomorrow (August 4) at 9pm.

Man dies after falling at Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium
Witnesses described the 'horrendous' scenes after the man fell from an upper tier during the band's reunion tour on Saturday. The Metropolitan Police have said that the man was aged in his 40s. Despite the tragic events on Saturday, organisers said the band's performance on Sunday will 'go ahead as planned'. In a statement the Metropolitan Police said: 'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage. 'If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.' A witness told the Daily Mail: 'It was horrendous. 'The guy fell from a balcony. Paramedics came rushing over. There was a lot of screaming and shouting. 'It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don't know how on Earth it happened. 'It was heartbreaking. He was only young.' The fall happened during the latest in a run of stadium shows for the band's sell-out Live '25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009. Wembley Stadium said their concert on Sunday night will still be going ahead. A spokesperson said: 'Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert-goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers. 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them. 'Tonight's Oasis concert will go ahead as planned.'
