On the 21st of May, 2018 fans were thrilled to receive a Twitter post from Riley revealing her engagement to Al.

Reily said that her boyfriend Al is 'her soulmate and love of her life.' The once overweight star lost an incredible 12 stone (76 kilograms) in the last three years, and credits her new lease on life to AL.

She went on to confide that Al is the best thing that has ever happened to her. The star declared that she and her fiance have not set a date for the wedding, and are happy to have made the vow to be together.

Riley met Al whom she describes as a 'very talented and very, very lovely' musician through mutual friends four years ago, and has been living a wonderful romance since then.

Riley recently shared that she and AL have been having IVF treatments in the hope of starting a family.

After her dramatic weight loss, Riley had to have excess skin removed and her primary concern was that it would not interfere with her plans to become a mother.

Reiley explained that after 7 fruitless months of treatments, she had not succeeded in conceiving. Although it was an experience she would have loved, Reiley said that she is a woman with a fantastic partner, and it is Ok not to have a child.
