Bella Thorne has found her forever partner — and she’s still celebrating the love story that began in 2022. The actress and director, 28,  announced her engagement to entrepreneur Mark Emms, 46, on May 26, 2023, in an interview with Vogue, revealing that he proposed the night before Mother’s Day with a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring. The couple had quietly confirmed their relationship the previous year after meeting at a beach party in Ibiza and sharing romantic moments, including a celebration of Bella’s 25th birthday with close friends.

In the years since, Bella and Mark have delighted fans with glimpses of their life together, from affectionate social media posts to public support for one another’s creative projects. In a surprising and heartfelt twist in August 2025, Bella even proposed back to Mark — a moment shared on Instagram with candles and heart-shaped balloons that drew widespread attention online.

Despite being engaged for over two years, the couple isn’t rushing into wedding planning just yet. Bella recently told E! News that they’re prioritizing their work — including a film she wrote and directed — and will dive into planning once their schedules clear up.

So, who is the guy who has the key to Bella’s heart? Read on to learn all there is to know about Bella Thorne’s fiancé, Mark Emms.

Mark Emms Produced A Hit Netflix Docuseries

Mark Emms is the producer behind Netflix’s Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives, a true crime story that recounts how Sarma Melngailis, a once-awarded vegan restaurateur behind the now-shuttered New York’s Pure Food & Wine, got involved with and married a conman named Shane Fox who took all of her restaurant’s funds under the promise that he would make her foodie dreams come true and make her beloved pitbull immortal. Sarma got hit with reality after getting caught while on the run after having stolen $2 million with Mark.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It was the most bizarre and surreal story I’d ever heard and I had to try and make sense of it,” Mark recalled to Yahoo! entertainment about his first impressions of the celebrity chef’s story. “How and why did this nightmare happen to someone like Sarma? It was also a story that I found deeply shocking and cruel and it felt important that it be told to a wider audience.”

Mark Emms Gave Bella A 10-Carat Engagement Ring

As seen above, Mark proposed to Bella with a stunning 10-carat emerald-cut ring, which she proudly showed off for all to see. During her chat with Vogue, Bella revealed she pictures herself walking down the aisle with Mark at a countryside retreat in the United Kingdom. She also has her heart set on vintage Schiaparelli or Dior wedding dresses. “Every bride does not need one gown, but four!” she gushed to the outlet.

The Midnight Sun actress and Mark met in Ibiza at Cara Delevingne‘s Aug. 2022 birthday party. “It was love at first sight as the sun rose,”  she happily remembered. The pair were spotted kissing in Mykonos in August 2022. At the time, Mark’s identity wasn’t publicly known, but PEOPLE later confirmed they were dating and “having fun” as their relationship quickly deepened. Bella eventually introduced him to fans on social media, sharing intimate clips from her birthday celebration and gushing that she “couldn’t have asked for a better” way to ring in 25.
