“Love Island” Alum Kyra Green Gets Engaged to Tal Sahar Twice: All the Details of Their ‘Magical’ Proposals (Exclusive)

Kyra Green, a notable figure from Love Island USA, announced her engagement to Tal Sahar in a remarkable series of events on September 5, 2023. The couple, both 29, experienced a unique ‘double proposal’ that unfolded within the picturesque surroundings of a Japanese garden in California, followed shortly by Sahar’s own unexpected proposal at a nearby beach.

The day commenced with Green orchestrating a heartfelt proposal at the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden, located in Pasadena. Having rented this tranquil space to honour Sahar’s dream of an engagement set amidst nature, Green described the moment as “private and magical,” perfectly mirroring her vision for such an occasion.

To maintain an air of surprise, Green cleverly devised a plan by pretending they were participating in a couple’s photoshoot. She enlisted the help of her manager, who fabricated a fake call sheet to enhance the ruse’s authenticity. Green explained, “I basically created an entire fake brand shoot,” a strategy made easier by their prior involvement in an actual campaign together just the week before.

Achieving the unspoken aesthetic for the day proved challenging. Green collaborated with Sahar’s mother to do her hair, while she herself visited a stylist for a fresh look. “Honestly, it was a great success because Tal had no idea,” Green recounted. When Sahar arrived, she was greeted not by cameras, but by a handwritten letter from Green, culminating in a heartfelt proposal. Green, feeling a wave of nervousness, read aloud her two-minute letter, expressing her deep feelings for Sahar.

The couple marked the joyous occasion with lunch at Café on 27, a sentimental spot that had hosted one of their earliest dates. Surrounded by close friends and family members who travelled to celebrate, Green reflected on the idyllic setting, describing it as a “magical little treehouse” that resonated with the couple’s journey together.

Later in the day, the couple headed to Venice Beach for sunset photography. It was then that Green discovered Sahar had arranged her own proposal, having conspicuously confided in Green’s family and their photographer. In a candid moment, Sahar presented Green with a 3.4-carat oval-cut diamond ring, echoing the band she had chosen previously.

In the lead-up to their engagements, the two had often referred to their respective rings as “hers and hers.” Both had an inclination towards timelessness and individuality, wanting to ensure that while the proposal was a surprise, the rings themselves represented their unique styles.

Green admitted to being completely taken aback by Sahar’s intentions, saying, “I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the day.” Both women expressed profound gratitude for their families’ support, acknowledging that such love is not universally afforded within their community.

The couple’s journey together began over four years ago when they initially connected on a dating app. Their brief romance was interrupted by Sahar’s overseas commitments in professional basketball. They found themselves drifting apart, unwilling to navigate a long-distance relationship. However, after Green’s experience on the Love Island spin-off series, she found herself reminiscing about their shared history.

Realising that her connection with Sahar was something special, Green reached out to her, proposing a work trip to Miami, where they decided to put aside fears regarding distance and embrace a deeper relationship. The romantic narrative spiralled towards them ultimately moving in together once Sahar relocated for dental school.

Sahar spoke fondly of her bond with Green, describing a consistent sense of warmth and serenity with her partner. She emphasised the enriching nature of their shared experiences, affirming that their relationship was much more than a singular defining moment. “It’s as if the universe knew what I needed before I did and gifted me Kyra,” Sahar reflected.

Both were proud of how their relationship had matured, transitioning from long-distance dates to cohabitation, where they could now look forward to calling each other fiancées. In essence, this dual proposal not only marked a beautiful milestone for Green and Sahar but also exemplified their commitment to nurturing a love that has flourished against all odds. As they navigate this new chapter together, the couple remains deeply appreciative of the love surrounding them.
