Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez announce Valentine’s Day engagement

Congratulations.

If you’re a big Strictly Come Dancing fan you’ll be very familiar with Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez.

The couple first started dating after meeting on the dancing show in 2017, going on to have a child together in 2019.

Now it seems congratulations is in order once again as the couple just announced that they got engaged on Valentine’s Day.

Former Hollyoaks star Atkinson posted a happy snap of the couple yesterday wearing a gorgeous engangement ring along with the caption;

“Valentine’s forever… Of course I said yes”

Marquez also shared the photo on his profile writing;

“The best day with my forever Valentine’s ♥️

I asked and she said YES!!!!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.”

Friends, family and fans were quick to congratulate Atkinson and Marquez, sending their love and best wishes through social media immediately after the post went up.

“Yesssssssssss CONGRATULATIONS. MY HEART! So happy for you.”

“Yessssssss team!!!! Oh my heart!!! So thrilled for you guys! Two of the nicest people in the land.”

“Amazing news!!! So happy for you!! ”

“The best news ever!! So happy for you guys.”

Only last week Atkinson posted to Instagram to say that the couple were celebrating their third anniversary and we got the sense that wedding bells might be on the cards soon;

“3 years down, forever to go. Happy Anniversary @gorka_marquez”

We weren’t the only ones either as many fans of Atkinson wrote underneath;

“Happy anniversary you pair of beauts. I see a wedding soon.”

Others wrote that the couple should have another baby but seeing as their daughter Mia is only a toddler I think they might hold off on that for awhile, especially now that they’ve got a wedding to plan.

We can only imagine how cute Mia is going to be as the flower girl though. Adorable.
