'He proposed and I said yes' Natasha Hamilton reveals engagement to boyfriend Charles Gay

They've enjoyed a whirlwind romance since they began dating this summer, and last night former Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton revealed she's engaged to her boyfriend Charles Gay.

Mum-of-four Natasha said yes to Charles while the couple were enjoying a romantic trip to New York together.

Natasha, 34, shared the exciting news on her Instagram account on Monday night, showing off her stunning diamond ring next to her new fiancée with the caption:

'After the most wonderful time in New York with the man I love, I was so high on life, little did I know he was planning something very special....

'he proposed and I said yes! I've had such an emotional rollercoaster few days @charlesgay I'll be stuck on cloud 9 for a long time😍...this is just the beginning of our beautiful life together.

The loved-up star ended the caption: 'I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead. I love u xx'

Fans have been quick to congratulate the couple, with one writing: 'Life is way too short and precious.....grab happiness with both hands. Congratulations ❤️ ignore the haters xx' and another adding: 'Omg congratulations Tash and Charlie, so happy for you both!!!'

Natasha split from Five star Ritchie Neville in March, and the pair had been living together until recently for the sake of their daughter. They share two-year-old Ella, while Natasha is also mum to sons Josh, 14, Harry, 11, and Alfie, six, each with different partners.

Opening up about her kids' paternity in the past, the star admitted: 'I do get people saying nasty things because my children have different dads. But I feel I would have been a worse mum staying in relationships that were detrimental to me and my children's happiness.'

The pop star revealed to Closer that while she's not ready for more children just yet, she wouldn't rule it out: 'I'm not broody at the moment. If I see a baby I love to have a cuddle - but I can't wait to give it back! But a sister for Ella would be lovely!

'I'll never say never. I wouldn't rule it out. Who knows what the future could hold?'
