Alex proposed to Perrie during a romantic stroll on a secluded beach. While the footballer wore a black and white shirt with rolled up sleeves, black cargo trousers, and white trainers, Perrie was wrapped in a black and white Balmaine dress to match with her black strapped sandles.

The mum-of-one had her hair down in perfectly suited beachy waves and was pictured grinning from ear to ear as she flashed her impressive engagement ring in the sunset.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
