Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson is engaged to longtime girlfriend Grace Zito
Congratulations to the lovely couple!
Kaiser Chiefs' frontman Ricky Wilson, who was also a judge on BBC's talent show The Voice, is engaged to longtime girlfriend Grace Zito.
The happy news were confirmed by a spokesperson for the couple, who said: 'They're both very happy.'
The engagement was first reported by The Sun, who say a source revealed he popped the question on a romantic trip to Cornwall.
The pair don't yet have children, but share a pet labradoodle called Norman Reedus, named after an actor from The Walking Dead.
The source said: 'Ricky's decided it's time to put his rock ’n’ roll lifestyle behind him and settle down. They already have a little one - Reedus, their two-year-old labradoodle - and he thought it was about time he made things official.
'He whisked Grace off on a romantic trip to Cornwall two weeks ago to properly charm her before asking if she would be his wife.'
The duo met on the set of BBC's talent show The Voice, when Ricky was one of the judges, and started dating two years later, in 2015.
