"I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
Reality stars Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan are engaged after being together for 13 months.
The winners of Winter Love Island were enjoying a romantic boating trip in Cambridge when Kai got down on one knee.
Sanam was stunned by the proposal and after saying yes, they passionately kissed.
Another photo showed the couple celebrating their engagement by popping a bottle of champagne.
For the occasion, Sanam was dressed in bridal white while Kai was wearing a matching coloured jacket.
Kai’s caption read: “Introducing the next Mrs Fagan.
“Beautiful, caring, loving and smart are just some of the words that describe you.
“I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Fellow Love Islanders extended their congratulatory messages.
Tasha Ghouri said: “AHHHH!!!!! This is beautiful, congratulations to two amazing people.”
Ron Hall wrote: “This is the best news EVER! Congratulations you two!”
The official Love Island Instagram account commented:
“They grow up so fast!!! Congrats.”
The couple won the winter series of Love Island in March 2023 and were the show’s first winning couple of colour.
They recently opened up on why their relationship has lasted longer than other couples’ relationships from the programme as they took a swipe at their co-stars.
Along with Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Mahenga and Will Young and Jessie Wynter, they are the only couple still together from their series.
Kai and Sanam detailed the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship.
Kai said: “The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa.
“What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you’re in a relationship with.
“You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle.”
“We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.”
After winning the show, Sanam returned to her social work role instead of launching an influencing career.
Kai and Sanam moved in together just months after leaving the villa and while they admitted to petty arguments, like who should take the bins out, the couple quashed them quickly.
