Kate Rodger is engaged to her long-time love, builder Tristram Alfred.

The couple, who have five-year-old son Max together, got engaged last weekend during Kate’s 50th birthday bash at the picturesque Duke of Marlborough hotel in Russell, according to Spy.

Alfred popped the question the night before her birthday dinner, Spy reports, surprising her in the couple’s waterfront hotel suite. Knowing Rodger would want to go ring shopping with him, he proposed with a sterling silver dog tag necklace engraved with the words ‘Will You Marry Me?’ – and she immediately said yes!

“I got pregnant at 45 and engaged at 50 – too funny! It’s been a crazy five years,” Rodger told Spy.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
