Rory Sloane has delivered an early Christmas gift to long-time partner Belinda Riverso by asking for her hand in marriage.

Sloane popped the question on Sunday night just hours before the popular couple set off back to Victoria for the Christmas break.

A beaming Riverso showed off the ring on Instagram on Monday morning, with the 2013 Crows Club Champion later confirming the news via Twitter.

Rory and Belinda have been dating for over three years and have lived together in Adelaide since 2012. Sloane's parents, Sandy and Brandon, also relocated to South Australia recently.

The glamour pair follow in the footsteps of Nathan van Berlo and partner Jess who got engaged in July.

All four spent part of the offseason together holidaying in South Africa and attended the Mackays’ wedding, with David the most recent Crow to say ‘I do’.
