He wrote, 'Ella was lying at my feet under the table; realising she might want some water, I trusted her to take herself over to the water bowl across the terrace. However, she made a beeline for Alizée. Rather embarrassed, I went over to apologise and bring Ella back.' Adding, 'But Alizée thought I was the waiter and ordered her drink while continuing to stroke Ella, who at this point was on her back lapping up the attention.'
He continued, 'Little did I know, but I had just met my future wife, all thanks to Ella. If I hadn't trusted Ella, I wouldn't have brought her to the South Kensington Club and she wouldn't have been able to say hi to the woman who became my fiancée.'
The pair's first official appearance as a couple was in May 2019 at Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston's wedding. They were dating for around 10 months before they got engaged.
