She said: "I am so happy to announce I am engaged to the love of my life.

"Dreams can come true."

In another tweet, the 35-year-old added that she is "excited for the next chapter" and "finally life got good for me."

She said: "Finally life got good for me, I am so thankful I’ve been through so much, I am so happy I found love and I’m excited for the next chapter."

Many of Rebecca's friends congratulated the singer, including Love Island Star Olivia Bowen who said: "Congratulations angel!"

Former Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward added: "I'm so happy for you my gorgeous friend, he's one lucky man."

Fellow X Factor star Rowetta commented: "Congrats. Beautiful news."

Rebecca's first single "Nothing is Real but Love" reached the top 10 of the UK's singles charts - and in 2020 she released a song titled "Nothing Left But Family" with Nile Rodgers.

The 35-year-old previously spoke on This Morning about how she was growing disillusioned with the industry before her love for music was reignited following her collaboration with the iconic Chic hitmaker.

She said: "I was deeply unhappy for many years but I had no idea I was unhappy.

"I had a tough childhood and I picked the wrong relationships, which I own now.

"But I've been happy for three years now, I just needed someone to pull me out of that pit."

Rebecca's glittering career has reportedly seen her accumulate a net fortune of nearly £2 million.
