by Kaitlin Reilly

Though it won't technically be a Royal Wedding, it's definitely royal-adjacent. According to The Daily Mail, the sister of the Duchess Of Cambridge Kate Middleton has some very big news to share, and though it's just a rumor right now, it's definitely one fans of the Royal Family will want to keep their eyes on. Rumor has it that Pippa Middleton is engaged to James Matthew, and should the story be true, they would make one seriously gorgeous betrothed couple. Update: Pippa has since been spotted wearing the engagement ring, according to People, serving as confirmation of the engagement rumor.

Earlier: Though Middleton is best known as Kate's younger sister and Maid Of Honor, she's much more than just the sibling of a Royal. Middleton is currently an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation, which helps promote heart health through healthy eating and physical exercise. She has also acted as a regular columnist for publications like Vanity Fair and The Sunday Telegraph, in which she penned a weekly column before parting ways with the company.

Middleton's reported boyfriend, Matthews, is a hedge fund manager, and The Daily Mail reports that the couple started seeing each other less than a year ago after being attached briefly in 2012. Though there has been no official report from the couple about whether or not Matthews and Middleton are truly engaged, The Daily Mail reports that Matthews popped the question after asking Middleton's father for permission. The engagement allegedly happened in the Lake District of London.

Though we'll have to wait until Matthews or Middleton confirms the engagement, it's sweet to hear that the most famous Maid Of Honor in the world could be walking down the aisle for a different reason soon.
