POP STAR Mabel has revealed that she is engaged to fiancé Preye Crooks after a shock proposal.
The Finders Keepers songstress, 28, shared the happy news on social media as she flashed her huge diamond engagement ring.
Mabel, who has been dating the son of Spurs legend and popular BBC pundit Garth Crooks since 2021, was over the moon when her partner got down on one knee.
The Brit Award winner hosted a big bash to celebrate with her close friends and family.
She wore a stunning candyfloss pink satin halterneck dress and had her dark tresses styled in a chic updo.
The singer beamed for a series of photos as she showed off the big rock on her ring finger.
The pair looked over the moon as they cosied up to each other at the party, while enjoying glasses of bubbly.
The newly-engaged couple were seen slowing dancing surrounded by rose petals and candles for the intimate do.
In the sweet post their friend Fet Bakare wrote: “Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her .
“With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I’m blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and flourish, To happily ever after for you both.”
Mabel’s new man, Preye, is an executive at Sony and runs the Strawberries & Creem Festival.
The Sun exclusively revealed in 2021 that the pair were dating.
A source at the time said: “They met through work, but it’s already going from strength to strength.
“They both work in the industry and have loads of common interests, he’s not threatened by her success and gets her hectic life-style. They’re a great match.”
Mabel, daughter of singer Neneh Cherry, has previously been linked with Robert Pattinson, rapper NOT3S and American actor Rome Flynn.
Mabel is known for her hit tracks such as Don’t Call Me Up, Finders Keepers, Mad Love and Boyfriend.
She has had two albums to place the top three of the official UK albums chart so far.
The star also won a BRIT Award in 2020 in the British Female Solo Artist where she beat out the likes of Charli XCX and FKA Twigs.
Earlier this month she was seen posing with her famous mum at the 2024 EMA’s.
80s and 90s star Neneh, 60, gave birth to her daughter in 1996 and it appears they are very close.
The pair put on a warming display as they beamed together on the red carpet at the star-studded event.
Over her career, Neneh released six studio albums in her own right, four of which have placed in the top 40 charts.
