In a candid conversation with New Idea earlier this year, she openly declared her love, exclaiming, “Yes, I am in love.”

She praised her husband-to-be, adding: “He’s probably one of the nicest men I’ve ever met, and I feel very lucky. It’s relaxing and he’s great with my kids.

‘He’s a solid, good man and he’s got a lot of character. I’m in a great place in my life now and I’m very grateful for it.”
