Gemma Collins is engaged... again!

The Only Way Is Essex star confirmed that she's gotten re-engaged to her businessman boyfriend Rami Hawash for the second time. The two previously called off their engagement after he popped the question in 2013.

Gemma revealed the exciting news to The Times this week after rekindling her romance with Rami earlier in the year, sharing why they hadn't gone public with their second time around engagement just yet.

"We can't really come out and say anything yet because Ram was married before and his paperwork has not come through, so until that’s officially signed, we've not said anything," she shared.

"They've not been together for two years. I know her, she's got a partner, she's as good as gold. There's a child involved, he's only three, obviously, I love him to death. But until that paperwork's signed I can't come out."

Gemma has had some high praise for her man since they got back together around a decade after they first started dating, including telling The Mirror in July: "Me and Ram, at the end of the day, that fire, that passion – it’s always been there."

She added that she was "over the moon" to be back together with Rami. "I'm delighted. I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm very in love. The key thing is, he respects me very much as a woman. He never puts me down."

Gemma continued: "He adores every part of me, and more importantly, he respects me a lot. I wouldn't be with him if he didn't. I'm in a very, very happy relationship."

It definitely sounds like second time is the charm. Congrats to the happy couple!
