Emeli Sande is engaged! Singer reveals girlfriend Yoana Karemova has popped the question

Emeli Sande has revealed that she is engaged to girlfriend Yoana Karemova.

The singer, 35, made the news Wednesday, showing off her dazzling ring as she revealed, “I said yes!”

The good news comes six months after she announced that she was part of the LGBT community and was in a gay relationship with Yoana.

It will be Emeli’s second marriage. She was previously married to marine biologist Adam Gouraguine.

The couple went their separate ways in 2014 after dating for over a decade and exchanging vows in 2012.

When asked if she now considers herself bisexual, Emeli said in March: “I’m not sure what I identify with, but I think so. I just feel like I need to fall in love with whoever I fall in love with.”

Emeli met Yoana while studying classical music and recently admitted that she is “happier than ever” in the relationship.

In May, Emeli admitted their relationship isn’t always a fairy tale when she laid out their unique way of arguing.

With both stars, professional musicians, they resolve their differences through music – passive-aggressively playing loud music on separate pianos in separate rooms.

She told Richard Eden of the Daily Mail: ‘Sometimes we have a musical argument without a word being thrown.

“There’s a piano in the basement, there’s one upstairs, so it’s a full piano out. She’s a classical pianist – she usually wins. But I get my point.’

Emeli told the Guardian’s G2 about her romance with Yoana: “I think people made it more of a story because I fell in love with a woman. But for me, being in love at this level, that’s the story. I have absolutely never felt such a deep love.”

She added that she feels “divided” as she knows that many people may not be in a position to be as open about their sexuality as she is.

Emeli said of her feelings, “I absolutely hope I can help someone else feel the strength to do the same. But I probably should be a little more informed.’

The Clown hitmaker added: “All I can do is answer how I feel. I can exhale. I love music.

“And you know, I’m thrilled that there’s an album coming out — but I finally know I can find happiness beyond that.”

Emeli revealed their relationship in a sweet Instagram post on April 2, confessing that her “soulmate” had given her “the strength she needed.”

Posting a beloved photo of the couple, the Next To Me singer wrote: ‘I am so lucky to have found my soul mate Yoana, she is such an extraordinary woman! Falling in love with her gave me the strength I needed!

“It feels so good to be in love and I feel happier than ever. I am deeply touched by all your messages of love and support. Thank you for your acceptance and kind wishes.

“It feels like a huge weight has been lifted, here is a new beginning in truth and happiness,” she concluded the caption.
