Cupid has struck former Shorty Street star Luke Patrick who has proposed to his American partner, spiritualist Maddie Moothart.
South Australian-born Patrick, who starred as one of Ferndale’s biggest heart-throbs, Frank Warner, from 2017 to 2020, proposed beachside to Moothart, who is from Oregon. The pair have been exploring the best of the South Australian natural wilderness in a Combi van.
“We met on Instagram during Covid but couldn’t meet in person due to the Australian borders being closed,” Patrick tells Spy.
“This gave us a beautiful opportunity to spend nine months getting to know each other while building a strong foundation for our relationship.”
The far-flung love birds bridged the Pacific gap and met for the first time in person in early 2021. They have been travelling to and from each other’s home countries over the past year.
