It's been six years since the death of her fiance. Now Downton Abbey star, Michelle Dockery appears to have healed her broken heart – and revealed her engagement to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's brother.
The 40-year-old actress, who played Lady Mary Crawley in the ITV drama, and Jasper Waller-Bridge made their happy news public yesterday with an announcement in The Times.
It read: 'The engagement is announced between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of King's Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle Dockery, younger daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park, Essex.'
Last night Waller-Bridge's father told the Daily Mail: 'We could not be more delighted!
'We have had a very happy time getting to know Michelle over the last few years and she's an absolutely delightful person. We couldn't be happier for them both.
'Michelle will be a wonderful addition to the family and we are certain that she and Jasper are going to have a very joyful marriage and life together.'
