London was the home base for both Ryan and Natalie before the hunky actor won the role of Sonny on Home and Away in 2025.

Natalie is known to viewers for her appearances in high-profile shows like Emmerdale, Casualty and Netflix's The Diplomat.

It comes after Ryan spoke to TV Week about the impact on his personal life after he was offered the Home and Away role.

'The timing was wild,' he told the publication.

'My landlord was selling our apartment, so we had to leave. The day we moved was the day of my final audition,' he continued. 

'We were in an empty apartment with a bottle of champagne and pizza waiting until midnight to do my final round over Zoom. 

'Two days later, I got the offer.'

Ryan said it was Natalie who persuaded him to make the move Down Under. 

It was a big move for the couple, but it was Natalie who urged him to take the role.

'She said, "I'm keen for the adventure. Let's go." Three days later, I flew home,' he explained. 

The couple announced their engagement in a joint post in April last year.
