Back to Black actress Marisa Abela has announced her engagement to West End performer Jamie Bogyo.
The 27-year-old, who portrayed Amy Winehouse in the biopic released in April, got engaged on London's Primrose Hill in a spot that was loved by the late singer.
"She said she’ll think about it," 31-year-old theatre star Bogyo wrote alongside a video of the moment on Instagram. The clip showed the couple smiling, with Marisa flaunting a sparkling ring on her finger.
Responding to her fiancé, the Industry actress commented: "A weeping mess."
Bogyo, currently starring as Christian in the West End's Moulin Rouge revival, also posted several pictures of the pair, including of them sharing a passionate kiss, which the actress re-shared on her Instagram page.
Their announcement was met with a flood of congratulations, including a note from "Hunger Games" actor Sam Claflin, who commented: "you guys ."
The news comes on the heels of harsh criticism about Abela's performance as Winehouse.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the biopic holds a low critic score of 34 percent, although the audience rating is a much more favourable 86 percent.
Sam Taylor-Johnson, the director, defended the film in an interview with Metro.co.uk.
She said: “Go see it, is, I think, the smartest thing for me to say to that because I think it’s very hard to judge from a photograph or stories.
“If you go see the film, I think you’ll understand what I wanted to do was to celebrate and uphold her.
‘And I think that people will enjoy the music.”
