Neighbours’ Takaya Honda engaged

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Neighbours’ star Takaya Honda has got engaged.
The 31-year-old actor – who featured in Australian TV’s first-ever same-sex wedding when his character David Tanaka married Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) on the Channel 5 soap – popped the question to Amy Schwab on a Byron Bay beach.
He told Australia’s New Idea magazine: “I’ve sat with Amy and watched her see me propose to a man on TV … twice.
“Thankfully, this wasn’t the exact same scenario, because Matt’s character refused the first time I asked him to marry me.”
Takaya wore a jacket which was “much too warm” for the occasion because he wanted to hide the ring box in his pocket, and while he wasn’t nervous, he couldn’t stop talking during the proposal.
He said: “I just kept talking heaps. I mean, I talk a lot anyway, but I was thinking ‘shut up’ in my mind.
“I wasn’t exactly nervous, because with Amy and myself it’s never been a question of if.
“From the beginning it’s been a question of when? So thankfully I went into the proposal thinking I knew what the answer would be. I don’t know how anyone does it otherwise.”
The happy couple are hoping to tie the knot within the next 18 months, and Takaya can’t wait to have kids with executive assistant Amy.
He added: “What isn’t to love about Amy, really? Outside of all the superficial things – obviously, I find her beautiful – she’s incredibly kind.
“She’s willing to stand up for herself. She’s ambitious. She wants to do better, be better, and she gives everything 110 per cent. I can’t wait for her to be the mother of my children.”
