Australian footballer Josh Cavallo, who in 2021 became the only known openly gay top-flight player in the world at the time, has got engaged to his partner, Leighton Morrell, after proposing on the pitch of Adelaide United’s home ground.
Cavallo made international headlines three years ago when he came out publicly, announcing that he was “ready to speak about something personal that I’m finally comfortable to talk about in my life”.
