After a trip to Japan was cancelled, the couple decided to have a holiday in Italy, where James proposed at the famous Trevi Fountain in Rome.
Maeva recalled throwing a coin into the Italian landmark as befits the tradition, and made a wish that James, whom she has been dating for three years, would propose.
She told the publication: ‘I did my wish which was, “I really hope James is going to propose to me soon.'”
‘And then I opened my eyes and he was there on one knee. I was thinking, “Wow, this is it! Is this real?” It was everything I had ever wanted.’
The couple’s proposal may have come as a surprise to some Made In Chelsea viewers after James admitted to kissing another girl behind Maeva’s back on the show this month, in what he described as a ‘drunken night’ at London nightclub Raffles.
