The couple never married and, in 2016, Fred revealed he has never been married to anyone before.

However, he and Alex weren’t meant to be and, after they split, Fred met someone new – and they are currently engaged.

Who is Fred Sirieix’s fiancée?

Although he has shared pictures of his fiancée on social media, he hasn’t revealed her name.

Instead, he affectionately refers to her using the nickname Fruitcake.

The star confirmed they were in a relationship back in January 2018.

He then popped the question just over two years later in March 2020 and announced the news via Instagram.

Sharing a picture showing only half of her face, he told his followers: “Fruitcake said yes.”

When is Fred Sirieix’s wedding?

Fred has discussed his plans for the big day.

However, the ceremony was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

During an interview with The Sun, he revealed that he and Fruitcake were hoping for a destination wedding.

Confirming his engagement, he said: “We are delighted. As soon as all this is over we are off to Negril [Jamaica] for a party on the beach.”

They’ve now set a date for early 2022.

Speaking late last year, Fred said: “We are waiting to see when we can travel as it’s important to have friends and family there.

“We have to stay fluid here, it’s out of control, but we are planning for early 2022 now.”
