Former Manchester United and England defender, Rio Ferdinand, 39, has proposed to his girlfriend, Kate Wright, 27, after almost two years of dating.

Taking to her Instagram account to share the happy news on Thursday morning, the TV personality wrote: “The perfect end to our holiday … How could the answer not be yes.”
The former England star also took to his Instagram page announce the engagement and praised his three children who were part of his proposal plans and yet kept it secret for so long.

Kate Wright started dating Rio in early 2017, two years after the tragic death of his wife Rebecca Ellison, 34, who died following a short battle with cancer.
