EastEnders’ Patsy Kensit engaged for 5th time to millionaire after romantic beach proposal
EASTENDERS’ Patsy Kensit is engaged after her millionaire boyfriend got down on one knee by the ocean.
The Emma Harding actress, 54, was presented with a huge diamond ring by Patric Cassidy, 58.
The romantic got down on one knee in the middle of a heart made from red petals on the beach.
Patsy posted the picture on Instagram, writing simply: “I said Yes” followed by four red hearts.
It will be her fifth marriage – despite once vowing never to walk down the aisle again..
She has been married to musician Dan Donovan, Simple Minds frontman Jim Kerr, Oasis star Liam Gallagher and most recently DJ Jeremy Healy.
Patsy has two children – James, 29, with Jim and Lennon, 23, from her marriage to Liam, with whom she split in 2000 after three years together.
Lennon was among the first to comment on the video, writing: “Love you mum x.”
The star was also quickly congratulated by her celebrity pals after sharing footage of the proposal.
Michelle Keegan, 35, wrote: “Awwww Patsy you deserve every bit of happiness – congratulations xxx.”
A bowled-over Elizabeth Hurley, 57, replied simply: “Wow!!!!!!”
Patsy’s Kat Slater actress co-star Jessie Wallace, 51, added: “Congratulations gorgeous beauty” saying of the ring: “Bling!”
Patsy and millionaire property mogul Patric were introduced to each other by mutual friends and hit it off.
The relationship managed to end the star’s firm conviction that she was done with husbands.
She had insisted after her break-up with DJ Jeremy: “I’m looking forward now, with one million per cent conviction, that I definitely won’t be getting married again.”
Patsy is a familiar face to soap viewers having appeared in several – starting her turn as Emmerdale‘s Sadie King in 2004.
She later played Faye Morton in Holby City from 2007 until 2010 before joining EastEnders as Lola’s mum Emma this year.
