A couple from the popular reality show “The Only Way Is Essex” recently got engaged during their New Year holiday. Shelby Tribble joyfully accepted Sam Mucklow’s proposal in a romantic setting in South Africa. Sharing the news on Instagram, Shelby flaunted her exquisite oval-shaped diamond engagement ring.
In the Instagram post, Shelby displayed her beautifully manicured hands with the stunning ring against a backdrop featuring a large heart made of red roses and a glowing neon sign asking, “Will you marry me?” Expressing her excitement, Shelby captioned the image with heartfelt words, declaring her love for Sam and her eagerness to marry him. The announcement garnered a flood of congratulatory messages from friends and fans.
The couple, parents to sons Abel and Teskey, have been together since 2019, having previously been engaged in 2019 before briefly parting ways in 2023. However, they reunited after five months apart, as evident from their joint holiday escapade.
In October 2024, Shelby and Sam announced their second pregnancy, sharing a sweet image of a heart-shaped cake with the words ‘Oh Baby’ and a sonogram. Their second son, Teskey, was born in April 2025, with Shelby expressing overwhelming love and gratitude for their new addition.
Documenting their family life on social media, Shelby continues to share glimpses of their blissful moments, including a recent family trip to Dubai.
