The 30-year-old singer shared the happy news on Instagram with a picture of himself and fiancée, Lou Tyson.

"When you know, you sometimes still dont know lol... But with you I always knew...," he sweetly captioned the post, before joking, "She said yes after like the 15th time hahaha..."

Stan continued: "No person I’d rather spend the rest of my life with than you... My best mate... The one I can be my ultimate, weird, dramatic, emotional, true, honest self with...

"I can truthfully say, I have found my soul mate...I love you my fiancé...Mo ake tonu ake...."

Lou shared her own photo with a very similar caption, except it began: "With you I always knew... I said YES!!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! Congratulations guys," exclaimed another.

The couple have reportedly been dating since November 2013.

Stan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2017.

The happy news comes three years after Stan was tragically diagnosed with stomach cancer - an inherited mutation of the CDH1 gene.

The New Zealand singer had his stomach removed and doctors discovered not one fast-growing stomach tumour, but 13.

“I never cried once, I never felt sorry for myself, I wasn’t scared of what it would do,” he told New Idea.

“The cancer came at the end of a very long season of just losing everything – my passion, my joy in the industry, my money. I was just really unhappy in my whole life, and losing my health was the last part.”

Stan won the seventh and final season of Australian Idol in 2009, beating runner-up Hayley Warner.

"To be honest, I felt like I had a perfect experience," he told Mamamia of his experience.

"It was incredible, it's such a fun experience. I think if you're going in there with an open heart and be prepared to work  - I think there's a big section of people who go in there thinking 'we're on a show, we're entitled, I'm a big superstar'. Nah, bro. You gotta work your arse off... You have to work harder than your gift."
