The couple decided to take their relationship to the next level while on a flight to Barbados, where they were set to vacation with Simon Cowell and his fiancé, Lauren Silverman.
Spraggan, known for her hit song “Tea and Toast,” met Emilia Smith back in 2013 through mutual friends. Initially, Smith thought Spraggan was “loud and obnoxious,” but their bond deepened after Spraggan got sober in 2019.

The couple is set to tie the knot this June, marking Spraggan’s second marriage following her separation from ex-wife Georgina Gordon in 2019. This time, it will be Simon Cowell walking Spraggan down the aisle. The singer asked Cowell to give her away while they were swimming in the sea during their holiday, and he graciously accepted, stating it would be an honor.
Their friendship has grown stronger over the years, with Cowell even apologizing to Spraggan for the way The X Factor handled her experience of being sexually assaulted during her time as a contestant on the show in 2012. Spraggan has expressed gratitude for Cowell’s apology, stating that it healed a part of her that she didn’t know needed healing. Their friendship has evolved into meaningful conversations and support for each other.
In an emotional Instagram post following the engagement announcement, Spraggan expressed her gratitude to Smith for being by her side through the darkest days. She acknowledged that every part of their journey has led them to this moment, standing beside each other and thriving together. Spraggan described Smith as the ultimate prize and emphasized that all their hard work and survival have brought them to where they are meant to be.
