The Only Way Is Essex fans have been following Gemma Collins’ turbulent love life since the second series in 2011 but now she’s back on our screens again for I’m A Celebrity South Africa and she’s finally settled into a secure relationship we can all get behind.
Gemma announced she was engaged in April 2024 in an exclusive spread with OK! Magazine. She shared that Rami Hawash, who she’s known for 16 years popped the question for the third time, this time with an actual ring, and she of course said yes!
While on I’m A Celeb, Gemma has spoken to co-star Adam Thomas about the possibility of having four weddings, saying: “I don’t know otherwise how I’m gonna make it all work.”
So, while Gemma plans her multiple nuptials, here’s a bit more info on the man she’s marrying and how he was almost the ‘one that got away’.

Who is Gemma Collins’ fiancé?
Gemma is engaged to 49-year-old car mechanic and garage owner Rami, from Romford.
When did Gemma Collins meet Rami Hawash?
She met him in 2011, which is the same year she first appeared on TOWIE. At the time she was working as a car sales woman so would’ve been in similar circles but they reportedly met at the King William pub in Chigwell, Essex.
They started dating soon after and Rami even made a brief appearance in series nine of TOWIE when he flew to Marbella to see Gemma.
When did Gemma Collins get engaged to Rami Hawash?
They first got engaged two years after meeting, in 2013 but split soon after. Then, the pair reunited during the pandemic and got engaged for a second time. But in 2023, their wedding arrangements were called off as Gemma claimed she had “no real interest” in getting married.
This all changed in 2024 when Rami got down on one knee on the beach during their five-star getaway to the Maldives. Gemma has even dismissed their previous engagements, saying: “It’s official this time. He’s finally put a ring on it.”
Talking about the proposal, Gemma said: “It was the best surprise when Rami proposed. I wasn’t even wearing a bra. But I wouldn’t change a thing.”
