Another source told The Sun, “Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question. She burst into tears – happy tears – and obviously said yes straight away.”
“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years,” she added, “supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally. They make a wonderful couple.”
Another source told People Magazine, “They are both super happy. They’ve been together a long time now and adore each other so it’s not a huge surprise to their close friends.”
