Katie Price announces she's engaged to Carl Woods 💍
Following a 10-month romance
Congratulations are in order for former glamour model Katie Price, as the mum-of-five has announced she's engaged to her boyfriend, former Love Island star Carl Woods.
Katie, who has been married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler in the past, announced her lovely news via OK! Magazine, admitting she's happier than she's ever been with Carl.
Showing off her engagement ring in a cute social media post, Katie told her Instagram followers, 'I said yes! See the full story and photos in next week’s OK! Magazine 💍💎💍 @carljwoods'. (sic)
Speaking to the publication, Katie said, "It’s refreshing to be with a man that if I decided I never wanted to work again, he’d look after me. I just love him."
Although the pair have only been together for 10 months, which has seen the couple spend lockdown together, Carl get close with Katie's children and the 31-year-old help out when Katie broke both of her ankles last year, it sounds like the proposal wasn't a shock.
Katie added, "We’d spoken about it a lot, so I knew he was going to, I just didn’t know when. It was amazing. Carl asked my mum and dad for permission – and Junior!"
