AdminBrisbane Broncos Star Xavier Willison Te Kura Proposes to Girlfriend Olivia, Sets August 2025 Wedding Date
Brisbane Broncos front-rower Xavier Willison Te Kura has scored one of the biggest tries of his life — not on the field, but in love. The 21-year-old NRL rising star has officially proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Olivia, in a romantic seaside setting, and the couple has set their wedding date for August 16, 2025.
The joyful announcement was made public via Te Kura’s Instagram account, where he shared a heartfelt post with a photo of the beachside proposal. The caption read: “She said yes 💍! Couldn’t be happier to spend forever with my best friend. Lock in the date — 16.08.25 💒❤️.”
Within hours, the post had gone viral among NRL fans, with thousands of likes, congratulatory comments, and even reposts by fellow players and club staff. For many, it’s the kind of off-field news that brings a refreshing reminder of the personal lives behind the athletes they cheer on week in and week out.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Te Kura and Olivia have been together since 2020, having met through mutual friends while Xavier was still playing in the junior system. Since then, the couple has been nearly inseparable, with Olivia seen regularly in the stands supporting the Broncos, often surrounded by other players’ partners and families.
“From the very beginning, she’s been my rock,” Te Kura told The Courier-Mail in an exclusive interview. “Through the injuries, the recovery, the pressures of the game — Olivia has always been by my side. I knew early on she was the one I wanted to build my life with.”
The couple reportedly got engaged during a weekend getaway on the Sunshine Coast, at a private beach spot that holds sentimental value to both of them. Friends say the proposal was intimate and emotional, featuring a custom ring and a tearful “yes” from Olivia.
Wedding Set for August 16, 2025
The couple has wasted no time setting the date for the big day. The wedding is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, 2025, during the NRL’s late-season bye period. This timing will allow teammates and staff to attend without interrupting the Broncos’ campaign.
Although the venue hasn’t been publicly disclosed, sources close to the couple suggest the wedding will take place somewhere in Queensland, likely near the coast. The ceremony is expected to blend elements of Te Kura’s Polynesian and Māori heritage with Olivia’s Australian background, creating a vibrant cultural celebration full of music, family, and traditional customs.
“It’s important to us that our wedding reflects both of our stories and brings our families together in a way that celebrates who we are,” Te Kura said. “It’s going to be a special day.”
Teammates and Fans React
The engagement has sparked an outpouring of love and congratulations from across the NRL community. Broncos co-captain Adam Reynolds commented on social media: “Congrats big man! Massive love to you both.” Fellow Bronco Payne Haas chimed in with: “Wedding of the year loading 🥳.”
Fans also flooded the couple’s social media with heartfelt messages, many expressing their admiration for the pair’s low-key, supportive relationship.
“Xavier and Olivia seem so genuine — love seeing players grounded and in love,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another added, “Great to see good things happening off the field too. August 2025 can’t come soon enough!”
A Balancing Act Between Love and League
While wedding planning is officially underway, Te Kura is keeping his focus squarely on football for now. As the Broncos chase another strong finish to the season, the young prop has been playing some of the best footy of his career, earning praise for his work rate, strength, and growing leadership.
“Footy is the priority at the moment — but when the season ends, it’ll be all about flower arrangements and dance playlists,” Te Kura joked. “I reckon I’ll be pretty involved in the planning. Olivia knows I want to help make it a day to remember.”
Coach Kevin Walters also weighed in on the news, saying: “We’re proud of Xavier — not just as a footballer but as a man. He carries himself with maturity, and this next chapter in his life is something we all support and celebrate.”
Building a Future Together
Te Kura and Olivia’s journey reflects a side of professional sport that fans don’t always get to see: the quiet, personal moments that give athletes strength and purpose. As the wedding date draws nearer, the couple is excited not only about a day of celebration, but about building a life beyond football.
“Footy is part of who I am,” Te Kura said, “but Olivia is my home. I’m lucky to have both.”
With love in the air and the NRL finals around the corner, Xavier Te Kura’s 2025 is already shaping up to be a year to remember — both on and off the field.
