‘A tale of Tokyo…’: The Apprentice stars get engaged eight years after meeting on the show — loved-up couple celebrate romantic proposal in Japan after years of friendship, family, and one adorable son… - suong
THE Apprentice stars Michaela Wain and Harrison Jones are engaged after meeting on the show eight years ago.
Harrison decided to pop the question to his bride-to-be whilst on a romantic trip to Japan.
Alongside a series of pics on social media showing off her stunning engagement ring throughout Tokyo, Michaela simply wrote: “A Tale of Tokyo (heart and ring emoji)”
The pair, who share a son together, announced the news last week and looked more loved up than ever in the sweet pics.
The Apprentice star Jade English penned in the comments: “Congrats guys!!! So crazy thinking back to us in that apprentice house and how you have your forevers and baby from it! (heart emoji).”
Contestant James White added: “Congrats both! Amazing news.”
Fellow The Apprentice stars Kathryn Burn and Akeem Bundu-Kamara also wished the pair a ‘congratulations’.
Michaela is the sister of reality star Josh Ritchie and his Love Island girlfriend Sophie Piper commented on the post: “Congratulations!! (heart emoji).”
In another heart-warming post, Harrison uploaded a series of pics documenting the couple’s love story and proudly showing off their son Grayson, who was born in 2018.
The business mogul captioned it: “From meeting in the most unique, once in a lifetime way, to becoming a dad to the most amazing little boy, starting a family, and getting engaged in Tokyo, it’s been a pretty nuts journey, so far.”
The pair met during the filming of the Sir Alan Sugar fronted show back in 2017.
Whilst Harrison’s journey ended midway through the competition, construction tycoon Michaela made it all the way to the finale, narrowly missing out on the win.
Previously speaking about the pair’s meeting, Michaela said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I think I’d meet my partner on The Apprentice. “My brother’s always saying he went on Love Island and I ended up finding somebody while I were in The Apprentice!
“But even when we were there, it was nothing like that. We were genuinely friends. It was after we’d come off the show, you have a three-month gap before it goes on TV.
“You’ve just had this whirlwind experience and nobody knows about it, so we remained friendly because otherwise you do your family’s head in talking about it, and then when it came on TV we all wanted to be with each other and watch it all together.
“And we were allowed to drink alcohol then – which is when me and Harrison grew closer!”
Michaela also previously confessed that she had been patiently waiting on a wedding proposal from Harrison.
She explained: “He’s not my husband yet, but hopefully he will pop the question soon! He’s being a real slug about the situation.”
