Maeva D'Ascanio has shared new photos of her romantic Italian engagement to her Made in Chelsea co-star James Taylor.
The 27-year-old surprised his girlfriend of three years when he got down on one knee at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy, presenting his bride-to-be with a 2.5-carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. Although Maeva first showed off her ring exclusively to HELLO! in May, the pregnant TV star has now shared personal photos of their getaway, including close-ups of her rock designed by James.

A third added: "What a corker of a ring," while a fourth commented: "Beautiful ring for a beautiful woman, congratulations to you both on your engagement and baby news."
Another picture showed Maeva sitting on James' lap as he kissed her cheek with the fountain behind them moments after she said 'Yes!' The special moment likely came as a shock to Maeva since he had turned down her proposal on Made in Chelsea just weeks earlier.
