A joyous couple from The Only Way Is Essex have shared their engagement news during a New Year holiday. Shelby Tribble took to Instagram to reveal her acceptance of Sam Mucklow’s romantic proposal in South Africa. Displaying a dazzling oval-shaped diamond ring on a delicate band, Shelby posed with her hands elegantly manicured against a backdrop featuring a large heart made of red roses and a neon sign asking, “Will you marry me?” The post was captioned with Shelby expressing her excitement to marry Sam, receiving an outpouring of congratulations from friends like Amber Turner, Courtney Green, and Georgia Kousoulou.
The couple, who are parents to sons Abel and Teskey, have been in a relationship since 2019, following their appearance together on TOWIE. Although they previously got engaged in 2019 and later separated in 2023, Shelby and Sam reconciled five months after their split, as evidenced by their subsequent holiday together. In October 2024, they announced the impending arrival of their second child, and in April 2025, they joyfully welcomed their baby son Teskey, as shared in an Instagram post.
Shelby frequently updates her Instagram with glimpses of their happy family life, showcasing moments from family vacations, including a recent trip to Dubai. For more entertainment news and updates, follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads.
