Wiggles Emma Watkins and Lachlan Gillespie (front right) are thinking of marriage and a family.
They've known each other for five years - since they met on the Dorothy the Dinosaur show in 2010. But it seems The Wiggles' Emma Watkins and Lachlan "Lachy" Gillespie's relationship hasn't just been purely business. They have revealed they've been secretly dating for two years.
"It was obvious for both of us that we had a lot of feelings for each other so it happened naturally that we started spending more time together on top of already spending every day working and performing together."
The 25-year-old beauty and the hunky performer - who play Yellow and Purple Wiggle respectively - tried to keep their romance under wraps because they didn't want it to jeopardise their careers in the children's music group.
But trying to hide their relationship from the public meant they were forced to sneak into the cinema for date nights and refrain from holding hands when out and about.
Parents of Wiggle fans suspected something was going on between them. They gave the pair their seal of approval on the group's Facebook page.
"Ha ha! I knew it. I always thought there was chemistry between these two," said one mother wrote. Another posted: "There goes my chances with Lachy."
Gillespie said the response had been exciting for the pair. "We had a lot of really nice comments from Wiggles fans at our appearance today and even more on social media," he said.
