When she was in a relationship with Steve, she confirmed once again that marriage wasn't for her. "I’m happy. Very happy. I'm having fun," she told The Sun. When asked about whether they may ever tie the knot, she added: "I've never wanted it. I’ve never fantasised about the big day. It was never my ambition to be married.
"I am very, very happy at the moment, but I don't want to be married. No, no, no. I think the focus should be on the relationship."
