Gemma Collins has dismissed engagement break-up rumours after posing in a loved-up snap with fiancé Rami Hawash.The former TOWIE star, 41, had alarmed some fans that her romance with Rami had come to an end after she said she '"doesn't need a man to live" on Instagram .The concern started when Gemma had posted a video of icon Cher discussing men.The singer said in the old interview: "I love men, I think that men are the coolest, but you don't really need them to live. "My mum said to me, 'You know sweetheart, one day you should settle down and marry a rich man'.
I said, 'Mum, I am a rich man'. "My experience with men is great because I pick them because I like them, I don't need them." The reality star then sparked more rumours when she followed up with a second story of a black snake, with the words: "Life is a game with snakes on every level." The self confessed-diva was stirring up a storm online, but has since confirmed there is no trouble in paradise with Rami.The GC posted a story of them both in there car, next to an Insta sticker that read the words "Have a good day!" next to it.
Gemma then went on to share a snap of their lunch, confirming that they were enjoying a daytime date together. The happy couple got engaged earlier this year - 11 years after the pair first met back in 2011.The pair first started dating in 2013, and Rami, 48, made several appearances on The Only Way Is Essex before they initially announced their first engagement in the same year.
