Chloe Madeley and James Haskell are engaged following romantic proposal in Paris
Chloe Madeley and James Haskell have announced that they are engaged to be married.
The 30-year-old personal trainer revealed that her England rugby star partner popped the question during a romantic stroll in Paris.
‘He kissed me on the forehead and said, “You do know how much I love you, don’t you? The last three and a half years have been the best years of my life”,’ she told Hello! magazine.
‘I just thought he was being romantic because we were in Paris, so I replied, “Oh babe, that’s so sweet”.’
Chloe went on to tell the publication that she left speechless when the 33-year-old made his intentions clear.
‘But then he added, “And you do know I want to marry you,” and started to get down on one knee,’ she gushed.
‘At first I thought he was joking. I was speechless and stared at him in disbelief. My first thought was, “Oh my God, he has a ring!”.’
