The English striker and Michaela already have a child together. While enjoying a family vacation, Bamford used the opportunity to ask the big question.
Michaela who’s active on Instagram and has about 16.7k followers posted a picture of Bamford on his knee holding a beautiful diamond ring.
The beautiful model had a surprised look on her face as she covered her mouth with her hands. Their four-month-old baby girl was also captured in the picture as she watches her parents.
The couple has been dating for about four years and welcomed their first child together earlier this year. Their child’s name is Emilia Lily Bamford.
Patrick and Michaela met in 2018 while the striker was playing for the local club in Middlesbrough. The model must have been smitten by the footballer’s appealing demeanor since they began dating soon after their initial encounter.
