On Instagram, Dunlop joked that the happy couple forgot to take a photo as the East Coast MP was ushered away during a boarding call with Allan proclaiming “who said romance is dead” as she walked away.

"I wouldn’t have it any other way," Dunlop wrote.

"Love you, love our girls - our whānau and our hectic but lucky lives."

"Tbh just stoked to be alongside you - and to always having a place for me to land, having my back and being my person."

Allan on social media posted “She said yes.”
