Fresh from her Jay Z elevator exploits, Solange Knowles is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend of five years who, at the age
of 51, is a whole 23 years older than her.
According to reports, Alan Ferguson popped the question to his singer-songwriter girlfriend on Monday ahead of her 28th birthday yesterday - and although Solange hasn't yet officially confirmed the happy news, she's been posting some hints on Instagram.
She tagged one picture of her grinning on a boat with the caption: "Today couldn't have been more perfect. I couldn't have smiled harder. Thank you for all of your lovely and wonderful wishes. They warmed my heart and I simply feel grateful for all of the love."
She also posted a snap of her hugging Alan while they frolicked in the sea. The couple got together in 2009, two years after she split from her first husband Daniel Smith, who was her childhood sweetheart and the dad to her son Daniel Julez.
Speaking about being with Alan earlier this year, Solange said being in a stable relationship was great - but had affected her songwriting.
"Luckily I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while. It's a f****d-up thing - without conflict it's a lot harder to write interesting songs," she told Harpers Bazaar in March.
While Beyonce hasn't yet commented publicly on her little sister's possible engagement news, we cannot WAIT to see her don a meringue-y bridesmaid dress and stalk down the aisle after Solange - though we'll have to wait and see whether Jay would be welcome at the wedding
