Fleur East and Marcel Badiane-Robin: Relationship timeline

Fleur met Marcel in a bar in 2009 when he was working as a waiter while she was dating someone else at the time.

A later later the two reconnected and started dating. However, their romance became only public after Fleur took part in The X Factor. An insider told The Sun that the pair were having ‘secret meetings’ during rehearsals.

“They have been dating for a while now and it is definitely serious. He is incredibly supportive of her X Factor success and wants her to go all the way, just as she is really supportive of his fashion career.”

After almost a decade of dating, the singer and fashion designer tied the knot in June 2019 in Morocco. East recalled the proposal while giving a rare insight into their relationship.

‘I said yes immediately! How Marcel did everything was just wonderful…We’re in a really traditional Japanese hotel and there were petals on the bed and champagne…Then I turned around and he was there, with the ring. He said: “Fleur East, will you be my wife?” I couldn’t believe it. The ring is so beautiful and yellow is my favourite colour.'”
