For The Voice fan-favourites Yorke and Jenna, love isn’t just found in harmony on stage — it’s also served with a side of crispy chicken tenders.
It was the moment that reality TV fans couldn’t possibly forget, coupled up Jenna and Yorke going head to head in The Voice Battle rounds – a moment that could surely only end in heartbreak. But before a decision would be made on who would go through to the next round, Yorke got down on one knee, asking Jenna to be his partner for life.

Pausing the formalities to go “off script”, Yorke said: “I just have to say one thing, really quickly, sorry. Baby, can you please come down here for a second”.
“I know we’ve just had a big battle, and we were competing, but I think we found through that we work really well as a team,” he said, getting down on one knee.
“I want to be on your team forever. I love you so much. Will you marry me?”
“Oh my god! Yes,” Jenna responded immediately.
The newly engaged couple, who captured hearts across Australia with their unforgettable proposal, chose to celebrate their milestone in the most “them” way possible: an engagement party at their favourite local eatery, Pappa Flock in Parramatta.

“We just love Pappa Flock and visit the Parramatta store all the time because their chicken is soooo yum,” the duo shared when asked why they chose the spot for their special celebration.
“There are two great loves in our life — each other and food! It just felt so right to celebrate at our fave local chicken shop. We’re hoping they’ll cater the wedding!”
Pappa Flock has been more than just a restaurant for Yorke and Jenna; it’s a place where memories are made. “Every time we go in, it feels like catching up with friends,” Jenna said.
“Their staff are so kind, and they’ve embraced us completely”.
The connection with the restaurant deepened when the owner, inspired by their engagement on The Voice, offered to close the shop and cater the event for 30 of their closest friends, family, and followers.
Monday night’s party was nothing short of a community celebration. Joining Yorke and Jenna were their loved ones and fellow creators.
Fans who had the opportunity to attend were just as thrilled. “One fan, Bernadette, said it was the best day she’s had this year getting to celebrate with her fave creators and eat delicious Pappa Flock,” the couple shared.
The couple’s choice of venue is a testament to their unique approach to love and celebration. “We know it’s definitely not traditional to have an engagement party in a chicken shop — but we love doing things our own way,” the couple shared.
For a couple as genuine and vibrant as Yorke and Jenna, the night was a perfect reflection of their relationship: heartfelt, fun, and full of delicious chicken.
As they look forward to their wedding, one thing’s for sure: chicken tenders will remain at the heart of their story.
