Kate Moss has announced to friends that she is engaged to her new partner Jamie Hince, the frontman of indie group The Kills.

The supermodel reportedly proposed to the singer after she had spent the day and night with him following a mutual friend's wedding.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "Kate and Jamie had been together all night and day until 5pm and when they surfaced Kate told her friends that she and Jamie were engaged.

"They had spent the night making love and Kate asked him during that. He was overjoyed because that’s what he wanted too. They’re clearly totally in love with each other."

Reports have suggested that the engagement is Moss's way of showing Hince that she loves him and wants to send that message to ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty.

A source said: "No one thinks they are actually going to walk down the aisle any time soon - they know it was Kate’s way of saying she’s serious about him."
