Frances Abbott, the 26-year-old daughter of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, is engaged to former Olympian Sam Loch.
In a surprise announcement via Instagram, the fitness model and Pilates instructor wrote, “Two weeks was all it took to know that forever with you was a mighty fine idea. #engaged #feyoncé #crazyinlove… #whywait #letsdothis.”
The pair appear to have kept the relationship tightly under wraps until now, with Abbott referring to herself as “very, very single” in an interview published in the current issue of Harpers Bazaar.
“I always describe myself as ‘so single’, because that’s how single I am. Like, very, very single,” she said. “But I also think it’s probably the best time to compete [in body building], because I don’t have a guy saying, ‘Let’s go get some dinner!’”
Loch, 34, is a professional rower who has competed for Australia at the Beijing and London Olympic Games, placed second at the 2015 World Indoor Rowing Championships and holds several international Ergometer records.

So Tony Abbott is fine with laws allowing heterosexuals to be able to marry after just a fortnight of dating, but not allowing a same-sex couple to be able to marry after ten, twenty, thirty years of having an entire life, a home, pets, maybe kids, maybe a business together? Don't say it again 'marriage is a sacred union'.
we dont really know what her father thinks ... yet and i wouldnt be surprised either way if/when he speaks about it
