Ollie Watkins is engaged to Ellie Alderson.
The England striker, 28, has been in a relationship with interior designer Ellie, also 28, since 2018 and she took to social media on Monday to reveal that they are set to tie the knot.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Special night in lake como with my fiancé [heart emoji[ ahhhh sooo happy.’
Ellie shared the happy news alongside a series of romantic snaps from their trip to Lake Como in Italy, a getaway that comes after England’s heartbreak in the Euros.
In the first black-and-white picture, Ollie was down on one knee to Ellie, both of them having opted for crisp white outfits.
