Talking to The Sun, Tanyel shared that she had an inclining that Ediz was set to propose during their recent break.
"I kind of had a feeling from the beginning of the holiday that he would propose," she said. "I thought 'isn't it a bit strange that my family are flying out two days later?'
"He's older, I know he's ready to settle down and have kids, so I had a feeling but I wasn't 100% sure."
