Katie Price to wed Leandro Penna
Reality TV star Katie Price is set to marry her Argentinian boyfriend Leandro Penna after he reportedly popped the question on holiday. According to the Mirror the 26-year-old model proposed while they were away skiing - and was seen earlier this week wearing a pink diamond ring. And her spokesman later confirmed that the couple were engaged - although no date for the wedding has yet been set. "It's true - they are engaged," Katie's spokesman told the paper. "They told her children but had intended to keep it secret for a while. "No wedding arrangements have yet been made and they are both quite relaxed about that for the time being." This will be the third marriage for Katie - aka glamour model Jordan. She was previously wed to singer Peter Andre after they met in the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, and had two children with him, Junior and Princess. The couple also appeared in their own reality TV series Katie and Peter on ITV2. They divorced in September 2009, with Katie going on to marry Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex Reid just six months later. However that marriage ended in early 2011. Katie and Leandro - who did not speak any English when they met - had a whirlwind romance in 2011 after meeting at Elton John's post-Oscars party, although they briefly split in October before being reunited earlier this year.
