Gemma Collins, 40, has confirmed she is engaged to boyfriend Rami Hawash, 48.
The TOWIE star first dated the businessman in 2011 before they first became engaged in 2013.
Following their split in 2014, Gemma went on to date The Only Way Is Essex co-star James Argent on-and-off for some time.
Gemma and Rami are said to have rekindled their romance during lockdown, and now appear happier than ever.

Speculation that the blonde bombshell was engaged started after she was pictured with a diamond ring on her wedding finger.
Now, it appears Gemma has confirmed the news of her engagement, explaining the details around why she and Rami are not announcing it.
Speaking to The Times, Gemma said: "I’d feel embarrassed now to drive a Range Rover. I have a Discovery, because I’m more muted, now …I was talking to my mum yesterday about getting married..."
Speaking of the re-engagement, she said: "Yeah, but we can’t really come out and say anything yet because Ram was married before and his paperwork has not come through, so until that’s officially signed, we’ve not said anything.
"They’ve not been together for two years. I know her, she’s got a partner, she’s as good as gold.
"There’s a child involved, he’s only three, obviously I love him to death. But until that paperwork’s signed I can’t come out."
