When I disclosed last September that Patsy Kensit had got engaged, some refused to believe it.
After all, the actress had been married four times and had said that she couldn't 'be bothered' with men. But here's some evidence to prove the doubters wrong.
Kensit, 54, is pictured in New Bond Street, Mayfair, with her fiance, property tycoon Patric Cassidy, 58, shopping for a sparkler. She divorced DJ Jeremy Healy, 61, in 2010, following a three-year marriage.

She was previously married to Oasis star Liam Gallagher, 50, with whom she has a son, Lennon. She has another son, James, with her second husband, Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, 63.
The 54-year-old actress is said to have accepted a proposal from her lover Patric after he got down on one knee during a fish supper on a Tuesday night in September.
Patric who is now a multi-millionaire thanks to his booming empire, is thought to have been introduced to her by friends.

At the time, The Sun reported that a source said: 'This has been a complete whirlwind romance.
'Both Patsy and Patric are smitten, and it just feels very right. He popped the question at Scott's in London on Tuesday, and after she celebrated they took over the bar at the nearby Connaught hotel and bought the whole room Cristal champagne.
'They've only officially been together a matter of weeks but Patsy is going with her heart.'

The actress first got married in 1988 when she was 22, to Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite, but they split in 1991.
A year later, she married Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr but they divorced in 1995.
By 1997, Patsy was married to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. They split in 2000 and it took nine years before she walked down the aisle again, this time marrying Nineties DJ Jeremy Healy. They split just a year later.

In August 2010, Patsy, who is mother to sons James, 27, and Lennon, 21, with her ex-partners James and Liam, vowed never to marry again after splitting from her fourth husband.
She said the break-up with DJ Healy left her feeling 'foolish and ashamed' as well as plunging her into depression.
Patsy also described the separation in April after a year of marriage as 'embarrassing and humiliating'.
She said at the time: 'This year has been truly, truly awful. I lost my confidence and ballooned from eight stone to 11.

'But I'm looking forward now, with one million per cent conviction, that I definitely won't be getting married again,' she told She magazine.
Patsy had said she ended the marriage after realising the relationship wasn't working.
Last year, Patsy said she had only had 'two significant marriages' - to Simple Minds' Jim Kerr and former Oasis star Liam Gallagher.
The four-times married star admitted that she was a 'hopeless romantic' when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
Her new love affair is not the only thing Patsy has got stuck into recently.
Recently, Patsy landed a role in EastEnders as Lola Pearce's mum for a short stint - and she made her entrance to the soap on Tuesday February.
Despite not appearing in Albert Square in a permanent role, Patsy's time will certainly be eventful as she'll be part of the emotional storyline that will see Lola lose her battle with terminal brain cancer.
