We hope you enjoy this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories:

Ed Kavalee still remembers the exact moment he fell for his wife, and it happened on his TV screen, watching her compete as Angel on Gladiators.

In this episode, Tiff Hall and Ed Kavalee sit down with Tiffany Dunk (or podcast Tiff as Ed calls her) to talk about how a TV crush turned into an 18-year love story, including the radio interview Ed engineered just to meet her, the moment he got cold feet six months in, and the blender that won her back.

They also open up about becoming parents, Ed's own childhood without a father in the picture, and how that's shaped the kind of dad he wants to be. Plus, Tiff talks candidly about rebuilding her relationship with her body after having kids, and why she built a business helping other women do the same.

Moments you’ll hear:

• The night Ed first saw "Angel" on Gladiators, and his friend's prediction
• The interview Ed engineered just to meet her (and the second one he asked for)
• Their first date, and the book Ed used to test her sense of humour
• The moment Ed got cold feet, and the gift that won Tiff back
• Their engagement story – including a secretly pre-planned visit to a very famous jewellery store
• Ed opening up about growing up without a dad, and what it means to him now
• Tiff's journey to rebuilding her relationship with her body after having kids
