Dragons’ Den personality Steven Bartlett recently got engaged to his girlfriend, Melanie Lopes, with a romantic proposal on Christmas Day. The successful entrepreneur, known for his role in Diary of a CEO and his estimated net worth of £320 million, surprised Melanie with a stunning diamond ring in Morocco over the holiday season.
The couple, both 33 years old, had dated for a year before a brief separation as Steven focused on his business endeavors. However, they rekindled their relationship when Steven made a heartfelt gesture by traveling to Bali, where Melanie manages a yoga and breathwork retreat. Close sources reveal that after living together in London and Los Angeles and thriving in their careers, they are now joyfully planning their wedding.
In an interview with the Mail, a spokesperson stated, “Steven and Melanie have been in a long-standing relationship, but their bond deepened significantly after choosing to reside together in London and Los Angeles a couple of years back. The proposal took place during their Moroccan holiday on Christmas Day, where Steven popped the question with a stunning diamond ring, and Melanie happily accepted. They are truly meant for each other and are overjoyed.”
Upon confirmation by their representative, it was announced that Steven and Melanie are happily engaged. The Mirror has reached out to Steven’s spokesperson for further comments.
Although Melanie and Steven first connected on Instagram in 2016, they have opted to keep their love story away from the public eye, despite their social media-focused careers.
Steven has openly discussed the challenges he faced in balancing his relationship with his business ambitions during the early stages of his romance with Melanie. He acknowledged his tendency to get consumed by work during the day, making it difficult to engage meaningfully with personal relationships until the evening.
