Influencer Sophie Cachia Announces Engagement to AFLW Star Madison Prespakis
Influencer Sophie Cachia has officially announced her engagement to Madison Prespakis, the AFLW star. The couple shared a series of romantic images on Instagram, capturing the special moment when Madison proposed.
Sophie, 35, took to social media on Friday night to share the exciting news with her followers. The post featured a collection of heartfelt photos showcasing the proposal, with Sophie visibly overwhelmed with joy as Madison got down on one knee. She covered her face in excitement, clearly moved by the gesture.
Other images displayed the couple embracing affectionately and showing off their dazzling diamond rings. Madison captioned the post with a simple yet powerful message: ‘Yes from day 1.’
The announcement was met with an overwhelming response from friends and fans. Olivia Molly Rogers expressed her delight with an enthusiastic: ‘So special!!!! Congratulations! Xx’. Bec Judd added a trio of love heart emojis, while Erin Holland simply wrote: ‘Congrats, gorge,’ accompanied by heart eyes emojis.
One follower shared a heartfelt message: ‘I’ve never been happier for two people I’ve never met before! Congratulations.’ Another fan echoed similar sentiments, writing: ‘Omgggg stop it. This is the best!!! Congratulations to you both. The most beautiful love story we have watched from afar. Crying.’
A Love Story That Began in 2024
Sophie and Madison first began sharing their relationship on Instagram in November 2024. Their bond deepened further when Sophie welcomed her third child, Esme, into the world in January last year after undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI).
It seems that marriage had been on Sophie’s mind for some time. In June last year, she revealed that things between her and Madison were becoming increasingly serious. During an Instagram Stories Q&A, a fan asked: ‘Would you consider marriage again?’
Sophie responded with certainty: ‘Absolutely. With every part of my soul.’ She clarified that while she wasn’t married or engaged at the time, she always wore her rings, stating: ‘They are my rings.’
In the video, Sophie was seen wearing a large sapphire and diamond ring that could easily be mistaken for an engagement ring. She added: ‘But yes, I would get married tomorrow, if I could.’
Future Plans and Family Life
Fans also asked whether Sophie would consider having a fourth child with Madison. She responded thoughtfully: ‘If you asked me when I was pregnant, the answer would be yes. I always wanted four kids. But if you ask any parents with a four-month-old if they want to have more children, they are going to look at you and say, “Absolutely f***ing not.”‘
She concluded: ‘So I’m not saying never. But right now that’s something I don’t want to even think about.’
A History of High-Profile Relationships
Sophie has had a string of relationships with top female athletes since the breakdown of her marriage to AFL star Jaryd Cachia in 2019. The couple shares son Bobby, 10, and daughter Florence, seven. They were married from October 2015 to September 2019.
Since their split, Sophie has been involved in several high-profile romances. She first dated Matildas soccer player Alanna Kennedy, then briefly became engaged to WNBL star Maddie Garrick. After splitting from Maddie, she went on to have a year-long relationship with AFLW star Sophie Van De Heuvel.
Following her split from Maddie, Sophie made it clear that she would no longer tolerate ‘half-ad love.’ In an interview with Mamamia in 2023, she said: ‘I am really enjoying right now, for the first time in what feels like a very long time, that my energy is just mine.’ She added: ‘I am not going to tolerate half-ad love in my life anymore, I am just not going to do it.’
