Alexandra Burke admits she wasn't expecting Darren Randolph to propose to her because she didn't think he 'had the guts' for it

As a seasoned observer of relationships and someone who has seen my fair share of romantic proposals, I must admit that Alexandra Burke’s story is quite intriguing. From her candid admission about not expecting Darren Randolph to propose to her, to the beautiful scene at the Rosewood London where he finally did, it’s a tale that resonates with many.


Alexandra Burke has revealed she didn’t think Darren Randolph ‘had the guts’ to propose to her.

Previously crowned X Factor champion, aged 36, is poised to marry football player Darren, who is 37 years old. However, despite finding the entire proposal to be ‘beautiful beyond words’, she feels that her partner might not have been fully prepared for this significant step in their relationship.

On HeartRadio, I shared my thoughts about the breathtaking experience I had at the Rosewood London. Simply put, it was an enchanting spectacle that left me in awe.

Wow, I simply can’t express what an extraordinary day that was! You see, I had thought we were just celebrating our anniversary, but boy, was I in for a surprise. He managed to make the day incredibly romantic – something that doesn’t happen every day. Apparently, he likes to keep things exciting and not let me get too comfortable, as he feels it’s important to keep me on my toes.

She clarified that she hadn’t believed he was prepared for it, explaining, “No, not at all, to be frank. I simply felt he wasn’t ready yet.

Alexandra shares custody of her two unnamed kids with Darren, yet she was growing weary because he hadn’t proposed marriage as of yet.

She explained: “That’s the reason nothing has occurred yet. We’re still too young, he’s not yet prepared, he lacks courage – that’s what I share with my friends.

In my core, I found myself fervently wishing for swiftness, as I yearned deeply for the realization of this proposition.

For approximately a year now, I’ve been working on this matter, which might explain my initial skepticism. I suspect that my belief that the situation wasn’t real could have stemmed from feeling I was overexerting myself and needed to maintain objectivity.

In September, the runner-up from Strictly Come Dancing announced her engagement joyfully, accompanied by photos showing her partner proposing.

At the heartwarming proposal, Alexandra was breathtakingly beautiful in a delicate green midi gown adorned with lace, with a table bedecked with fragrant flower petals serving as a picturesque backdrop to the momentous occasion.

I enthusiastically shared some photos, symbolically marking them with ring emojis, as a multitude of celebrities sent their heartfelt congratulations to the newly engaged couple.
