Hypervisor configuration not adding 2 NICs for virtual OPNsense

[eiger3790]

I am trying to build:
1 bridged router.
2 physical wired NICs for WAN and LAN.
1 machine running Debian based OS, running hypervisor KVM/Qemu/Virt manager.
1 VM router OPNsense.

The machine sees the 2 NICs, however the hypervisor seems to set up 1 virtual bridge?
I think I need 2 bridges to see the 2 NICs?
Here's my network topology, attached.
Configuring the network has a few options like
GUI: Virtual Manager.
TUI: Network scripts, Nmcli tool or Virsh command.
I tried the GUI, but Virtual Manager seems to show 1 NIC using Virtual Network Interface with a Network source: Virtual network 'default':NAT.  I'm wondering why Virtual Manager only shows 1 NIC and a NIC unrelated to my 2 physical NICs?
Virtual manager has an option in Virtual Network Interface Network source to select Host device enp2s0:macvtap.  Maybe this should be selected for 1 of my 2 physics NICs?
Creating a new VM in the hypervisor offers an option at Network selection as default, Virtual network 'default':NAT, however maybe I should select the option: Host device enp2s0:macvtap, Source mode: Bridge?
Regardless, after selecting enp2s0:macvtap, the VM router OPNsense installs and only shows 1 LAN (vtnet0) -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24.
In VM router OPNsense install, I select 1) Assign interfaces and the only valid interfaces are:
vtnet0 52:54:00:6c:84:7a VirtIO Networking Adapter.
This interface is Virtual Manager's NIC MAC address, not any of my 2 physical NICs' MAC addresses?

I tried the TUI Network scripts, creating this file in /etc/network/interfaces, however same issue?

What am I doing wrong please?

I solved this by using VM GUI.
