CONGRATULATIONS: Brisbane Broncos player Kotoni Staggs Proposed to his Fiancée Brittany Becht as he Set official Date for Wedding…
Brisbane Broncos and NRL fans have been buzzing with excitement after star centre Kotoni Staggs confirmed some personal news off the field — he has officially proposed to his long-time partner Brittany Becht, and the couple has already set a date for their wedding.
The announcement comes during what has already been a strong season for Staggs, both professionally and personally, with the Broncos pushing hard in the NRL finals picture and their centre standing tall as one of the team’s most consistent performers. But away from the tackles, tries, and team talks, Staggs has taken one of the most meaningful steps in his life — a proposal that has melted the hearts of teammates, fans, and the rugby league community.

A Special Moment for Staggs and Brittany
The proposal, which took place last weekend, was anything but ordinary. According to sources close to the couple, Staggs surprised Brittany during a private getaway just outside of Brisbane. Set against a stunning backdrop, the Broncos’ hard-hitting centre dropped to one knee and popped the question with a custom diamond ring he had been secretly planning for months.
“She had no idea what was coming,” Staggs told media shortly after the news broke. “I just wanted to make it perfect for her because she deserves the world. I was nervous, more nervous than before a big game, but when she said yes, it was the best feeling I’ve ever had.”
Brittany, who has been by Staggs’ side through the highs and lows of his NRL career, later shared photos on social media showing the couple celebrating the moment with friends and family. The post quickly attracted thousands of likes and comments from Broncos teammates, rugby league personalities, and fans congratulating the pair.

The Wedding Date is Set
While many couples take months before deciding on a wedding date, Staggs and Brittany wasted no time. The couple confirmed that their wedding is set for late 2025, giving them just over a year to prepare for the big day.
“We wanted to lock it in straight away,” Brittany said. “We’ve been talking about this for a while, and we both knew what we wanted. Now it feels real, and we can’t wait to start planning everything.”
Reports suggest the couple is looking at venues in both Brisbane and New South Wales, with family ties and accessibility playing an important role in their decision. Staggs, who grew up in Wellington, NSW, is said to be considering incorporating cultural traditions into the wedding to celebrate his proud Indigenous heritage.

Teammates and Club’s Reaction
Back at Red Hill, the Broncos squad were quick to celebrate the news. Coach Kevin Walters and senior teammates offered heartfelt congratulations, with Walters joking that “Kotoni will need as much planning discipline for the wedding as he shows in defence on the field.”
Adam Reynolds, Brisbane’s captain, shared that the locker room erupted in cheers when Staggs told them. “We’re all stoked for him. Kotoni’s one of the hardest workers here, and to see him so happy off the field just gives him extra energy. The boys will probably give him a bit of stick about wedding planning, but it’s all love.”
Fans, too, flooded social media with celebratory messages, with many expressing admiration for how the couple has stayed grounded despite the pressures of the NRL spotlight.

A Love Story Behind the Headlines
While Staggs is best known for his powerful runs and try-scoring ability, his relationship with Brittany has quietly been a source of strength for the Broncos star. The couple has kept much of their private life out of the headlines, but friends close to them say Brittany has been instrumental in keeping Staggs balanced and motivated through challenges — from injuries to the pressures of professional sport.
“She’s been his rock,” one close friend revealed. “Through the rehab sessions, the tough games, and the criticism that comes with playing in the NRL, Brittany has always been there. It’s not surprising to anyone who knows them that he’s made this commitment.”
Staggs himself admitted that Brittany has been his biggest supporter. “She’s seen the best of me and the worst of me, and she’s never left my side. I can’t wait to start the next chapter of life with her.”

Broncos Balancing Act: Football and Family
As the Broncos eye a deep run into the NRL finals, Staggs has made it clear that while wedding planning is important, his immediate focus remains on football. “The boys and I are locked in for the rest of this season. Brittany’s been amazing — she’s already taking the lead with a lot of the planning, so I can stay focused on the field. It’s about balance, and I’m lucky to have her support.”
Still, Staggs admitted that the excitement of his engagement has given him a new sense of motivation. “When you’ve got something like this happening in your life, it gives you an extra lift. I’m playing for my teammates, for the club, and now for my future family too.”

What’s Next for the Happy Couple?

From venue selection to guest lists, cultural touches, and even potential honeymoon destinations, the couple has plenty to organise. Insiders say they are considering a large celebration with family, friends, teammates, and members of the Broncos community, reflecting how deeply connected Staggs is to both his roots and his club.
There is also speculation that the wedding could include traditional elements to honour Staggs’ Wiradjuri background, something he has proudly spoken about in past interviews. “Family and culture are massive for me,” Staggs once said. “I want to make sure they’re part of everything I do.”
