England rugby player Marcus Smith has announced his engagement to long-term partner Beth Dolling. The 27-year-old athlete proposed to Dolling, 26, during a trip to Sardinia. The couple shared photos of the engagement on social media on July 30, 2026.
Dolling, a model represented by Body London Model Agency and M Models Management, showcased a large diamond ring in the posted images. The couple has been in a relationship for seven years, having first been linked in 2019. They made their relationship Instagram official in 2021.
Smith, often referred to as English rugby's 'poster boy,' made his senior debut for England in 2021 at the age of 22. He was a key player for the England team during the 2024 Six Nations, scoring a match-winning drop-goal against Ireland, and was also selected for the 2025 Tour to Australia.
Dolling has built a successful modeling career, working with brands such as PrettyLittleThing and Harvey Nichols. She is frequently seen supporting Smith at matches for his club, Harlequins, and the England national team.
Friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry shared congratulatory messages on the couple's announcement post. Chloe Madeley, Holly Shearer, and Tasha Ghouri were among those who offered well wishes. The announcement itself was captioned by the couple with "Lost for words 30/07/26."
