As if The Voice audition rounds weren't exciting enough, one contestant on The Voice Australia took the experience to the next level this week. As Gay Times also pointed out, before Nathan Brake revealed which judge he wanted to work with on the show (out of Boy George, Kelly Rowland, Joe Jonas, and Delta Goodrem), he called his boyfriend up from the audience and proposed.
He said:
"I just wanted to bring you out here because we've had a beautiful six years together," he told his boyfriend Mitchell. "You've been a constant support, so I just wanted to ask you, will you marry me?"
Naturally, Mitchell said yes--and the judges and audience went wild.
What made the moment even more special is that Kelly Rowland told the couple that regardless of whom Nathan chose as a coach, she promised to sing When Love Takes Over on their wedding day. Insanity.

But the app's popularity doesn't come solely from the press it's received; that's evident in its 2025 Sniffies Download report, released on Wednesday.

Heated Rivalry episode 4 introduced fans to Connors, another pro hockey player who rooms with fellow teammate Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and is played by Harrison Browne. After dedicating his entire life to hockey, coming out as a trans man, and starting an acting career, Browne still struggled to land roles on hockey-themed movies and TV shows. However, let's just say that 2025 was a game changer (pun intended) for Browne, who went on to write, direct, and star in his own short film, Pink Light, and had his talents recognized by showrunner Jacob Tierney, who secured him a role on the hit TV show from Crave and HBO Max.
