Jeremy Irvine is reportedly engaged to his longtime girlfriend Jodie Spencer after popping the question earlier this summer. 

The Mamma Mia actor, 32, is believed to have proposed to midwife Jodie with a pear-shaped ring and is said to have built them a home ‘with his bare hands’ as they plan their future together.

Speaking to The Sun, an insider said: ‘Jeremy proposed to Jodie a little while ago and they have been telling their family and close friends.

‘It is a really exciting time for them both and they feel so lucky to have each other – they are still into each other after being together for years.’

According to the source, while plans for a wedding are ‘in motion’, the couple are in no rush.

‘As a midwife with the NHS, her job is very hectic and was especially so during Covid, so the engagement has come at a lovely time,’ they added. 

‘He has built a home for them both – literally building it with his bare hands in the first half of 2020 – and now they feel ready to settle down as a couple.’

MailOnline has reached out to Jeremy’s representatives for comment.

The couple sparked engagement rumours after Jeremy shared a snap of Jodie wearing a gorgeous band on her ring finger as they visited the Cartier Queen’s Cup Polo 2022 in Egham.

A dapper Jeremy wore a camel blazer over a white button up as he sidled up to his beau, who looked amazing in a velvety deep blue dress.

The couple are believed to have started dating back in 2016 and have since appeared at red carpet events together. 

Before finding love with Jodie, Jeremy was in a high-profile relationship with singer Ellie Goulding, with the talented pair striking up a romance in October 2012.

The chart-topping singer called time on her seven month romance with DJ Skrillex just a month before hooking up with the actor, with the star citing the pressures of long distance for the breakdown in the high profile romance.

In 2018, Jeremy wowed audiences as a youthful Sam Carmichael in an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza Mamma Mia sequel – playing the younger version of Pierce Brosnan’s Sam in the original film.

Despite impressing viewers with his smouldering take on one of Donna Sheridan’s (Meryl Streep/Lily James) first loves, Jeremy later admitted he was riddled with nerves about the musical role.

Speaking at the 2018 Giffoni Film Festival, he confessed: ‘You think with a $100m movie, there would be months of training. Nope! When you are singing in front of people it is incredibly naked. I got stage fright like never before.’

He added: ‘I like to think I can sing, but I won’t be searching my name online for a while! At school, I had one line to sing in Les Miserables and it was parodied for years to come.

‘Even the drama teacher herself did impressions of me in Les Mis. I blame that on a voice going through the process of breaking.’

Since then, Jeremy has also starred in flicks including Paradise Hills (2019), Cognition (2020) and Benediction (2021). The latter saw him portray Welsh actor Ivor Novello. 

Earlier this year, the star hinted he wouldn’t be opposed to playing a new Bond villain.

In a May interview with Metro.co.uk, he said: ‘I’d love to do that, yeah, that’d be great – as long as he can be really camp and wear eyeliner. If I was to do it like Ivor Novello, he’d also be trying to sleep with Bond, wouldn’t he?’
