Is Pippa Middleton engaged to her stockbroker boyfriend Nico Jackson?
According to the Sunday People, the weekend celebrity tabloid of the Daily Mirror, Middleton is secretly engaged to her boyfriend of six months, with a wedding planned for spring.
It's speculated the couple became engaged in June shortly before the Wimbledon tennis tournament and is expected to officially announce the engagement after her 30th birthday next Friday.
The couple have been spotted together numerous times, embracing, skiing, clubbing and sporting events.
According to the magazine, the couple is waiting to announce their engagement in hopes of not stealing the royal spotlight from sister Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and her new baby, Prince George, born July 22.
"Pippa loved seeing Kate go down the aisle and now it is her turn for a fairytale wedding," the source told Sunday People. "She couldn't be more sure that Nico is the right man for her. They are such a good fit for each other and their families get on really well. Everyone is so happy for Pippa."
According to the Daily Mail, Middleton and Jackson dated for about six months before becoming engaged. Currently, the couple are rumored to be holidaying on the Caribbean island of Mustique, a regular destination for the Middleton family.
"One of the things Pippa likes most is the way Nico is so relaxed around her parents," the source told the magazine. "They really like him. Her mum Carole is behind her engagement 100 per cent."
Middleton has previously dated investment banker James Matthews, 37, and financier and former England cricketer Alex Loudon, 32.
Middleton, formerly an employee of her parents' online party-supplies empire, is now a writer for a British supermarket magazine, a party-planning book author, and a columnist for Vanity Fair who is frequently stalked by the paparazzi.
