A POPULAR Former English Footballer Proposed To His Girlfriend On The Helipad Of A Swanky UAE Hotel

Ex-footballer Rio Ferdinand and girlfriend former TOWIE star Kate Wright, along with his three children, were holidaying in Abu Dhabi when the popular athlete went down on one knee on the helipad of their luxurious hotel.

The couple, who have been dating for nearly two years, uploaded this DREAMY photo from the swanky rooftop of St. Regis to their Instagram pages.

“The perfect end to our holiday … How could the answer not be yes”, Kate wrote

And they couldn’t be happier about the news

Rio revealed that his three children Lorenz (12), Tate (10) and Tia (7) were in on the plan

Although he’ll “never know” how they managed to keep it a secret…
