Pippa Middleton Engaged To Financier Boyfriend James Matthews

Roll Out The Red Ball at The Savoy Hotel on February 11, 2016 in London, England.

Middleton, 32, is set to marry her boyfriend, hedge fund manager James Matthews, Hello! magazine has confirmed.

As she left James Matthews’ Chelsea flat on July 19th, Pippa Middleton sported a gorgeous ring and told waiting reporters that she “couldn’t be happier”.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are absolutely delighted with the news”, Kensington Palace said in a statement Tuesday.

Mathews reportedly popped the question on Sunday while on vacation in the Lake District of northwest England. However, there is proof that she and Matthews are a couple, and they’re set to Wednesday in 2017.

Her father, Michael Middleton, said he and wife Carole were “absolutely thrilled” at their younger daughter’s engagement. Not long after they broke up, Middleton began dating Nico Jackson, from whom she split in 2015 after three years of dating.

The longtime friends dated briefly in 2012 and competed in various charity athletic and endurance races around the globe, including a 33-mile cross-country ski race in Norway and a bicycle ride across America. Saying “yes” to James Matthews, Pippa is going from the most famous bridesmaid of our time to the bride herself (which means we may get to see Kate as a bridesmaid!).

And check out her glitzy engagement ring: a 4-carat asscher-cut diamond surrounded by a border of smaller diamonds.

She shot to fame after being maid of honour at her sister Catherine’s royal wedding to Prince William.

When a reporter asked her how she felt, Pippa responded, “Couldn’t be happier”, an eyewitness tells ET.
