It's official – Alexandra Burke and Darren Randolph are engaged! After three years as a couple, the former X Factor winner, 36, and the 37-year-old Middlesborough goalkeeper are set to tie the knot. The exciting news was announced by Alexandra herself, who shared a series of romantic photos on her Instagram account.
According to sources, Darren popped the question during a romantic dinner at London's luxurious Rosewood Hotel. Alexandra was reportedly left speechless and overjoyed by the surprise proposal. In the photos, she can be seen wearing a stunning emerald lace dress while her fiance places a dazzling diamond ring on her finger. Her caption, which simply featured two infinity symbols and a ring emoji, spoke volumes about her happiness.
The couple, who have been together for three years, already have two children – one born in 2022 and the second in 2023. They have chosen to keep their children's names and genders private. After the news of their engagement broke, Alexandra's Instagram was flooded with congratulatory messages from her celebrity friends, including Clara Amfo, Michelle Visage, Kate Thornton, Anastacia, Stacey Dooley, and Dawn French.
In an interview with The Sun, a close source shared, "Alexandra had no idea this was coming and was on cloud nine. Darren had gone all out to plan the most special moment for her, and it was perfect. They couldn't be happier to start moving towards the next stage of their life together."
Alexandra shot to fame when she won The X Factor back in 2008 with Cheryl as her mentor. She made history by performing a duet with Beyoncé in the final, and her career has only soared since then. In recent years, the star has shifted her focus towards acting, starring in popular West End productions such as The Bodyguard and Sister Act. She has also made her mark on television, with her most recent role being in Paramount+'s crime thriller, Curfew.
Speaking about her transition into acting, Alexandra said, "I do want people to hopefully see me as a serious actress and to give me every fighting chance in auditions." Her dedication and hard work have certainly paid off, as she continues to excel in her career.
