Former NRL star Michael Crocker is putting his strength, agility, and strategy skills to the test on Survivor Australia‘s new series Blood V Water over a decade after saying goodbye to rugby and the Rabbitohs.
The new season has a twist that will see family members playing and versing each other, and Michael is going into the adventure with his sister-in-law Chrissy Zaremba as a duo.
But it’s fiancée (and Chrissy’s sister) Kiri-Moana Procter that is his partner in crime in the real world.
It’s unclear when the couple first started dating but Kiri-Moana first appeared on the athlete’s Instagram on July 25, 2016.
In 2019 they announced their engagement, and Michael was proud to become a stepfather to Kiri-Moana’s two boys she shares with a former partner.
Alongside a professional photo taken of the couple embracing with the engagement ring on display, the ex-rugby player wrote, “The perfect woman, the perfect moment. My forever girl, can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you and our little family. “
Their family life together is filled with a deep appreciation for one another, which is proven through their candid posts. So to bask in the sunshine of their love, see their most adorable moments on Instagram below.

On Valentine’s Day 2021, the ex-Rabbitoh wrote a lengthy post about how his partner has transformed his life and inspires him to be the best person he can be because of her can-do attitude.
“My life is so much better with you by my side. Not only do you hold our family together, you push us all to be better every day. You are an amazing role model to myself and our boys, your work ethic and drive is second to none and everything you do is about ensuring we have everything we need in life,” he gushed.
“At times I know I must drive you crazy by doing everything at the last minute and always saying “everything will be sweet” no matter what the situation – but please believe me when I say that. It always will be, because we have each other … and that will always be enough. Love you beautiful lady, you will forever be my Valentine 😘😘😘.”

The Survivor hopeful shared this picture of his stepsons on the beach to praise Kira-Moana for how she elegantly takes on being a single mother.
” I love the way @kirimoana8 and @srgo79 co-parent and have allowed me (and @snap_fitness_cessnock ) to be embraced as part of the family by the boys. Reading the words on the fridge, laughing with/at the boys and falling asleep reading to them is a perfect day in my eyes 😍 Wouldn’t have it any other way #LOLF,” he shared.

As if Michael couldn’t be sweeter, he penned a poem alongside this picture to express how grateful he is for Kiri-Moana.
“You grabbed my heart, you made it whole
You changed my life but not my soul
The light inside, is now on show
A better man, I know you know
We all have flaws and mine are real
My words my word and that’s our deal
Our love runs deep, is honest and true
Though we’re a team, I look up to you.
One more year on earth complete
Everyday with you, for me’s a treat.”
Michael Crocker
The moment they became Instagram official! Michael marked the occasion by sharing in his caption, “Grateful to have amazing people in my life to share these moments with. Welcome to the family @kirimoana8 🍔🍔🍗🍗🍟🍷🍷🍷🍷.”
