Speculations ran rampant with that the pair are now engaged to be married. In fact, according to reports, Calvin got down on one knee to pop the question by his favourite tree on his farm in Ibiza. Speaking to The Sun, an insider said: “Vick said yes immediately, she is madly in love with Calvin and could not be any happier.” Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez

Ariana Grande had been through her fair share of high-profile relationships before sealing the deal with her real estate agent hubby, Dalton Gomez. The pair were officially dating in May 2020, and were engaged barely seven months later. They were married in a “tiny and intimate” ceremony at home in Montecito, secretly wedding with less than 20 guests, just one year after confirming their status as boyfriend and girlfriend. Ariana was previously engaged to SNL star Pete Davidson and the pair got engaged weeks into their relationship. The singer later went on to write a song about her then-fiancé on her best selling album Sweetner, titled Pete Davidson. But, this particular love story wasn’t to last and the couple called time on their engagement a few months later. Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky

Marvel fan-favourite Chris Hemsworth, who plays God of Thunder Thor in the franchise, met his wife Elsa Pataky in early 2010. In a spontaneous wedding, the Aussie natives took the opportunity to get married while they were on vacation in Bali. Holidaying with both of their families in tow, it seemed like the perfect time to get hitched. In 2016, the actor recalled that “there was no great plan to any of it to be honest,” during a stint on Good Morning Britain. He added: “We were on holiday and we said, ‘Why don’t we get married, too?’ And then the next minute…There probably should have been some planning, but it all worked out.” Together, they have three kids and more than a decade of marriage under their belt.

But, things changed just a month later when Sofia was newly single and the two began dating. Six months later, Joe proposed on Christmas Eve and the couple wed less than a year later during a glamorous ceremony in Palm Beach.

Despite swearing off marriage after his divorce with ex wife Talia Balsam in 1993, George Clooney’s outlook on love changed in the blink of an eye when he met Amal, a British-Lebanese barrister. The 61 year old heartthrob admitted to Amal taking his breath away on the SmartLess podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. He said: “The truth was, I met this amazing woman and she took my breath away.” He added: “She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet. “We got engaged after a few months and got married within the first year that we met. It surprised me more than anybody else in the world and everybody else was surprised.” Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra

Nick Jonas took online dating to the next level when he slid into Priyanka’s Twitter DMs way back in 2016. He told her that mutual friends of the pair had said they should meet, and she replied: “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.” And after months of texting, the couple finally met each other at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in 2017. Having arrived separately, Nick saw Priyanka walk into the room, before getting down on one knee and saying: “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?” You’d think that would be the defining moment in their relationship, but the pair dismissed any rumours before appearing together at the Met Gala in May 2017. After only three ‘official’ dates, Nick popped the question during a romantic trip to Crete and they tied the knot in a three-day wedding celebration They welcomed their first child via surrogate last year.
