Josh Cavallo Announces Engagement Via X With Cute Pics To Boot
Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo has announced his engagement to partner Leighton Morrell in a heartwarming tweet.
Sharing a photo of the couple embracing on the pitch, Cavallo shows the pictures of him proposing and captions the post: “Starting this year with my fiancée”.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Josh Cavallo is an Australian A-League Men player for Adelaide United and one of the few out professional players. In his engagement post, Cavallo is seen on one knee on the pitch at the club’s Hindmarsh Stadium home.
He expressed gratitude to his team for helping set up the surprise. He thanked the club for providing a safe space in football, one that he never imagined could be possible. “You have provided a safe space in football, one that I never in my dreams thought could ever be possible. To share this special moment on the pitch, where it all started,” he says.
Cavallo came out as gay in October 2021 and has since been a vocal advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and has campaigned for more inclusivity in sports. His journey has not always been smooth as evidenced when he posted the hate and bigotry he still receives on Instagram last December.
Despite this, Cavallo always rises above and continues to promote his message of diversity and LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the newly engaged couple.
