"So…..our news is now out! @RitchieNeville asked me to Marry Him," Natasha wrote.
"I was shaking when I proposed," former 5ive star Ritchie said of the happy moment, which happened during a romantic trip to Rome.
Natasha admitted she was equally emotional when saying "yes", telling OK! the couple were both "sobbing" with happiness.
"He couldn't have picked a more perfect ring," she said.
Natasha split from businessman Riad Erraji in 2013 after eight years of marriage. The former couple have one child together, five-year-old Alfie.
Aside from Alfie, the singer has three other children – 13-year-old Josh and 11-year-old Harry from previous relationships, and one-year-old Ella with her now-fiancé Ritchie.
Speaking about marriage plans last year, Natasha revealed she had thought about walking up with aisle with Ritchie.
"We have talked about it a lot, I know what kind of wedding I want and we both agree that we want to wait," she said.
"We want Ella to be a flower girl and have some kind of memory of the day her parents get married."
Congrats to Natasha and Ritchie!
