Too Hot to Handle star Francesca Farago has announced that she's got engaged to her partner Jesse Sullivan.

The reality TV star, 30 - who appeared on the first series of the Netflix dating show, which aired in 2020 - shared the news with her followers on Instagram earlier this week.

She shared photos from her engagement to Jesse, 33 - who's known for his content on TikTok, boasting almost 3 million followers on his account - on the platform yesterday.

She shared a series of photos with her followers this week, which suggested that they had got engaged in front of Jesse's daughter Arlo and Francesca's dog Romeo.

One photo showed the couple - who are said to have dated for a period in 2021, before rekindling their romance last year - posing for alongside their four-legged companion.

Francesca wrote in the accompanying caption of the recent post: "WE'RE ENGAGED. A glimpse into the most magical night ever. Obsessed with our family ... what is life!"

Jesse - who documents his life as a transgender man on TikTok - later took to his account to suggest that he had been busy for months "planning the night of her dreams".

Francesca had teased a special occasion just days earlier when she shared a photo of the couple alongside a caption that simply read: "04.28.23". She included a white heart emoji.

The reality TV star - who has also appeared on dating show Perfect Match - later showcased her sparkly engagement ring, which she said had been designed by Jesse himself.

Alongside footage that showed off the two-stone ring, she wrote to her followers: "CAN FINALLY SHARE THE RING". She later described the engagement ring as "insane".

She stated in a video: "It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life. [...] Jesse designed it himself and he put so much thought into every freaking detail".

The engagement post prompted well-wishes from her followers in the comments section, including from singer Demi Lovato who responded: "Congratulations".

Chrishell Stause - who's best known for appearing on Selling Sunset - also took to the comments, writing: "So SOOOO happy for you both! CONGRATULATIONS."

Chloe Veitch - who was also a contestant on the first series of Too Hot to Handle - reacted to the post: "The candle lit orchestra. Congratulations you! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL".
