Ricky and Jwan thanked people for their support and announced that they are ready for this new chapter.
They met in 2015 through Instagram and started dating after 6 months. They first met in London. The couple has 2 children, Lucia and Renn, 4 years old. Lucia is 10 months older than her brother.
The singer is also the father of two 14-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, born to a surrogate mother in 2008.
The pair got engaged shortly after they started dating, and at the time the singer said that "it was love at first sight".
"When I met my husband, I looked at him and said: 'I will marry him.' During "Ckemi, I'm glad to meet you", I thought "This is the love of my life", said Ricky in 2020.
