Mike Boateng, a former Love Island star, has announced his engagement to his girlfriend following a lavish proposal on December 21. The 29-year-old ex-police officer, who appeared on the winter 2020 series of the ITV2 dating show, shared the happy news on Instagram with a series of photos showcasing the proposal.
Boateng, who kept his fiancée’s identity private, posted an image of her holding a stunning diamond ring while concealing her face behind a bouquet of red roses. In another photo, the couple embraced as the bride-to-be proudly displayed her new engagement ring.
The proposal took place during an intimate dinner, where Boateng surprised his partner with a dessert featuring the words “Will you marry me?” written in chocolate on the plate. The couple shared a moment of joy before the fiancée revealed the sparkling ring in more detail.
Boateng’s post was accompanied by the date of the proposal and a proverb reading: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and he will establish your plans.”
The announcement comes after Boateng’s high-profile split from fellow Love Island contestant Priscilla Anyabu, with whom he dated for 15 months following their time on the show. The couple failed to win the show’s £50,000 prize, which was awarded to Paige Turley and Finn Tapp. Boateng’s time on Love Island saw him paired with several contestants, including Leanna Amaning, Jess Gale, Sophie Piper, and Anyabu before he was eliminated just days before the final.
Meanwhile, another Love Island star, Rosie Williams, 33, also recently shared engagement news. The 2018 series contestant revealed that her partner, Sam Tankard, had proposed to her with a romantic gesture on the luxurious Velaa Private Island in the Maldives. The intimate moment was captured in a video set to the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” with Tankard getting down on one knee against a stunning ocean backdrop. Williams, who typically keeps her relationship private, simply captioned the post with the proposal date, December 17, 2024.
Williams’ fellow Love Island stars, including Hayley Hughes and Samira Mighty, quickly took to social media to congratulate her on the news.
