Brooke Vincent has opened up for the first time about her fiance Kean Bryan’s romantic proposal at their home in Manchester.
The former Coronation Street actress, 30, said the footballer dropped down on one knee on their six-year anniversary inside a rented igloo he’d hired in their back garden.
Revealing the tear-jerking moment to OK! , Brooke said: “So we were celebrating our six-year anniversary and when we came back home there was an igloo in the garden and it was all beautifully decorated.
“We had dinner, which was lasagne made by a hired chef. It was really luxurious for us.
"Then I went upstairs to fetch a phone charger and was faffing around changing my top – he must have been sweating downstairs as I was taking ages – then when I came back into the igloo he was down on one knee and I thought, ‘Oh my god!’.
“Then I got down on one knee too. I couldn’t believe what was happening. He was crying, I was crying. He told me the reasons he wanted to marry me. I’ve never felt so loved, I was overwhelmed.”
Brooke said that while she had no idea he was planning on proposing, she had already laid down the ground rules for how she didn’t want it to be done.
She said: “I wasn’t expecting it at all. I’ve always told him, ‘Don’t ever do it in front of people, not even at a restaurant!’ I think I would’ve been very aware of people around us instead of just enjoying a personal moment.
“So the best thing for me was that it was at our house. We’ve had our boys there, it’s our first house together, it’s been the scene for so many amazing milestones.
Until now, Brooke has kept the details of her romantic engagement secret, only announcing it via Instagram, sharing a video of drawings of her family’s hands – with the image of her hand labelled as “Mrs Bryan to-be”.
She said what she loved most about the moment was that it wasn’t documented on social media – or even captured on photo.
She said: “There’ve been times with the girls in my group where people have tried to document their engagements with film crews but what I love about it is that everything from that day was just of our memory. It was very personal and very much about us.”
She has been with the footballer, 25, since 2016, when they were introduced by mutual friends. Kean had enlisted the help of Brooke’s friend to help out with picking her “perfect” pear-drop engagement ring, before asking mum Nicola and granddad John’s permission for her hand in marriage.
She added: “The ring fits perfectly. I have a friend who’s the same ring size as me, so for years I’ve always told Kean to go with her to get my rings. He got her involved to make sure the ring fits and it’s gorgeous. He asked my mum and my granddad for their permission, which I thought was really cute.”
