In less than a year, she became engaged to the former Chelsea man after initially ignoring him. Alice, 25, told the sources that he had seen a picture of her and asked a number of people if they knew her, but we didn't have friends in common. "So he wrote to me (on Instagram). In the end, I answered him after a long time and we met. He impressed me from the moment I met him because I knew he was serious. For example, two weeks after our first date, he drove eight hours to see my family and returned to Turin very late, despite having to train early the next day."This and a thousand other gestures. His friends and family had never seen him like this. He told me he wanted to marry me eight months after we started dating.
