The proposal came a week after England suffered heartbreak in the Euro 2024 final, with the Three Lions falling short against Spain in the final.
Watkins had played a key role in England’s run to the final, netting a memorable last minute winner in their semi-final victory over the Netherlands.
Alderson followed him to Germany amongst a host of other WAGs and was an avid supporter in the stands during the tournament.
The couple first got together in 2018 and have seen their romance blossom ever since in-line with Watkins’ rise to becoming one of the Premier League’s most clinical goalscorers.
They live together in Birmingham and have two children – Amara, three, and two-year-old Marley.
Meanwhile, Alderson’s recent hen-do included drinks at the May Fair Hotel and dinner at the South American restaurant Inca.
Inca declares it offers diners a ‘high-end’ experience, with the restaurant designed around a central stage with live performers interacting with guests.
