Heather Mills is reportedly engaged to her partner, Mike Dickman.
The 53-year-old model is set to tie the knot with the film producer, 36, after the couple reportedly swapped rings before Christmas, following their romantic getaway in Portugal in September.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Heather and Mike are incredibly happy. It’s so good to see a smile on her face again after a turbulent few years.
“They’re completely in love. Heather has told pals he’s the love of her life whilst, for his part, Mike adores her and is completely devoted.
“Heather’s incredibly young at heart, and gets on with all his mates — their 17-year age gap really isn’t an issue.”
Earlier this week, Mike showed off a ring worn on his wedding finger on social media with various friends commenting with love heart emojis.
The couple have been romancing for 18 months, and although sources say they’re in no rush to walk down the aisle, their rings are said to be “commitment rings” to help solidify the seriousness of their love.
When Heather and Mike do tie the knot, it will mark the third wedding for the activist, who was previously married to Alfie Karmal from 1989 to 1991, and to Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney – with whom she has 17-year-old daughter Beatrice – from 2002 to 2008.
Meanwhile, Heather is currently in Dubai on business, where she is promoting her VBites food range, a plant-based meat alternative brand which she bought in 2009.
Heather turned to veganism after she had to have her left leg amputated below the knee in 1993 when she was hit by a police motorcycle, and was told a plant-based diet could help stop further deterioration of her limb.
