Gemma Collins is ENGAGED! Reality star confirms she has accepted second marriage proposal from Rami Hawash after reuniting in lockdown
Gemma Collins has confirmed her engagement after accepting a second marriage proposal from long-term boyfriend Rami Hawash.
The TV personality, 40, reunited with former fiancé Hawash during lockdown, seven years after breaking off their original engagement.
But she admits they are now looking ahead to their wedding after he proposed for the second time, but is reluctant to make definite marriage plans with the businessman until his divorce from his first wife is finalised.

Confirming her engagement to The Times, 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.’
The reality TV star had previously worn a diamond ring on her engagement finger while featuring in a new campaign for supermarket chain Sainsburys.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in December, Gemma reflected on trying for a baby with partner Rami, detailing how they ‘report back’ to mum-of-two Amy Childs.
She explained: ‘I was with Amy Childs at the weekend and we had a friend’s wedding and she’s like a guru at how to get pregnant.
‘She was telling me that there’s certain days in the month that you’ve got to do this. So I basically appointed her to be the head of my pregnancy.
‘She’s told Rami what days we’ve got do it on and all that. So we’re reporting back to Amy every time we do it!’
The TV personality already acts as an unofficial ‘stepmother’ to three-year old Tristan, Rami’s son with his estranged wife.
She added: ‘I’ve got the greatest gift of all my partner gave me. I have a beautiful three-year-old stepson and have a very good relationship with his mum and it’s been so lovely that they’ve let me be a part of their lives.
‘Tristan, he’s beautiful. I love him so much. He’s the apple of my eye. With Tristan, our family are just so obsessed with him. And my nephews Hayden and Kane are so good with him, he’s like the new little baby on the scene.
‘They just love him as much as I do and he loves them. He’s just part of our family.’
