Alexandra Burke has revealed she is engaged after her footballer partner Darren Randolph popped the question with an adorable proposal.
The singer, 35, and footballer Darren welcomed their first child in June 2022 and second in September 2023, choosing to keep their names private.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Alexandra shared the happy news with snaps of her partner down on one knee.
Alexandra looked stunning in a green lace midi dress for the romantic proposal – with a table covered in flower petals seen behind them.
The singer captioned the snaps with ring emojis as a host of stars wished the couple congratulations.

‘Woooohoooo! ❤️,’ comedian Dawn French said, while Mrs Hinch added: ‘❤️congratulations beautiful ❤️.’
Meanwhile podcast host Elizabeth Day said: ‘So so so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.’
‘CONGRATS BABIES!’ said Michelle Visage, while singer Anastacia added: ‘Congrats kids❤️❤️.’
It comes just months after Alexandra admitted she is ‘desperate’ to have a third child with her now-fiance Darren.
Appearing on an episode of Loose Women in July, Alexandra also revealed why she returned to work so soon after having both her children.
She said: ‘I returned to work two months after having both babies. I love to work. I want to make them proud. My mum did that with us.
‘I’m so desperate for another baby. I would take more time off if I had a third. I don’t regret anything but after that first few months, they’re basically off the college. So I get why people want more time.’
Gushing over Darren during the interview, she said: ‘He is such a great human, father and hopeful hubby to be. Hint hint darling.
‘He’s so good with the kids and we always say this is temporary, it isn’t forever.

‘I once cried to him on the phone and he got in the car and came home and cooked me dinner before going back to work.’
Alexandra also told the MailOnline recently she only sees Darren twice a week after the goalkeeper joined Bournemouth in January from Premier League rivals West Ham United.
The West End star said that while its ‘tricky’ with Darren living and working away, she’s learned to ‘adapt’ and becoming a mum for the first-time last year has shown her just how ‘amazing’ women are.
She said: ‘Whether it’s about children or your life in general, women just adapt. No shade to men, I think men are great… but women, oh my God we make milk for crying out loud!’
She explained: ‘My partner just moved away to Bournemouth bless him, so he isn’t really here. It makes things really tricky for me, but we make it work.

‘He comes home as and when he can which is roughly maybe twice a week at the most. I don’t like him driving too much, I sound like a bit of a mum, but I don’t like him driving when he’s training, and he’s exhausted.
‘It isn’t terrible because it’s only two hours away and I love Bournemouth and where he’s staying. It would be worse if he was five away hours.
‘We make it work and it’s not forever and all I care about is supporting his career and standing by him when he makes these decisions.’
