AFL 2022: James Brayshaw engaged to girlfriend Lisa Christie, Channel 7 football commentator shares

Seven football commentator James Brayshaw is celebrating his engagement.

As first reported by The Herald Sun, the former North Melbourne president returned from an Italian getaway with long-term partner Lisa Christie with joyous news to share.

The couple shared happy photos of their romantic trip on Instagram recently — a holiday that included stops in Salo, Lake Garda and Verona.

Brayshaw appears to have finally put a ring on it after the couple began dating in 2017.

The Channel 7 personality and radio host appeared to be enjoying his brief downtime before the summer of cricket begins in earnest with Australia’s First Test against the West Indies, beginning Wednesday in Perth.

“Italy... best country in the world in my opinion,” he captioned one photo with Christie. “Daylight second... yesterday in Salo, Lake Garda... next level extraordinary!” he added.

He also wrote: “Verona... beautiful place full of astoundingly well dressed people... like you are walking around in a fashion shoot.”

The former South Australian cricketer has four sons — Henry, George, Johnathon and Frederick — with ex-wife Sarah. The pair separated after 23 years together.

Christie has two children from a previous relationship and had previously been engaged to gardening guru Jamie Durie.

Brayshaw won’t get too long to celebrate the engagement with the long summer of cricket extending through towards the start of the AFL season.
