Loved-up Caroline Flack knows exactly where she wants boyfriend Lewis to propose…
She wants her very own Love Island romance
Caroline Flack has been dropping hints all over the place that she’s ready to get engaged to model boyfriend Lewis Burton, and we’re told she’d love for it to happen in South Africa.
The TV presenter headed out to Cape Town recently to film a promo for the winter Love Island, which starts in January, and an insider tells heat, “Although she wasn’t there long, Caroline fell in love with the country. She can’t wait to go back in January, and wants Lewis there. It would be a great place to get engaged.”
The 40 year old made the most of her short trip – dining, sunbathing, and visiting the penguins on Boulders Beach. As well as writing “CF ❤ LB” in the sand, Caz captioned a penguin snap, “Mate for life”, which can surely only mean one thing – she’s got marriage on her mind.
Lewis clearly missed her – he was there to meet her at Heathrow Airport and they embraced as if they hadn’t seen each other for months. They then had a date night at the VIP launch night of Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park. heat saw them looking very loved-up together in the bar area.
The couple have been dating for around four months now and have definitely fallen hard for each other. After Lewis surprised Caroline with a 40th birthday party in early November, she told the 27 year old, “I’ll keep you forever.” She recently teased fans by wearing a ring on her wedding finger, and sharing a photo that she captioned, “On a rooftop in LA during a marriage proposal.”
However, our source tells us that while Caroline “didn’t want to get
‘she thinks Lewis is the one’
engaged on her birthday”, she thinks “January could be the perfect time”. The insider adds, “Things are really good between her and Lewis at the moment after a rocky patch a few months ago. They are both committed to each other and are having a great time.”
The couple were seen arguing in Ibiza in October, but Caroline is now focused on the future – one that not only involves a hefty pay packet for a twice-yearly dose of Love Island, but also, potentially, an engagement ring.
“Caroline thinks South Africa would be the perfect place for Lewis to propose. It would make the first winter Love Island something to really remember,” says the insider. “At first her friends were concerned about whether he was serious, but they say she hasn’t been this happy in a long time, and they think Lewis is good for her.”
When Caroline first started dating Lewis, she admitted to putting work before relationships. “I feel guilty for it sometimes. I feel like maybe I’m being selfish.” It seems she might be reorganising her priority list.
“Caroline isn’t putting any pressure on Lewis,” we’re told. “But she thinks he’s The One and would love to get engaged.”
