And just four months later he popped the question during a trip to Chewton Glen by presenting her with a ring that once belonged to his late mother.
Karen recalled, "It took me completely by surprise as he proposed as I was in the shower! It was such a special end to 2021.
"Jordan proposed with his late mother's ring, which is what you see in this picture, which was taken the night of our engagement."
"I know it meant the world to him for me to have it. We've since remodelled it together, so that it has the core of his mother's ring, but also our flair added to it," she added.

Who is Karen Hauer's partner on Strictly 2022?
Karen Hauer is partnered with Jayde Adams on Strictly Come Dancing 2022. The same-sex couple have brought a different dynamic to the show and Jayde has described their partnership as a "sisterhood". In an interview with various publications she said, "I think my partnership with Karen is more about sisterhood. And if you're in the dance world, which I was as a child, the sort of all-girl and all-male partnerships is quite commonplace.
"Obviously it's a new thing in these dance shows, the one that's in Australia and the one that's in America, but I think the world is changing and to me it just doesn't seem like anything that is abnormal to me. It seems like a completely natural thing."
