Sheridan Smith fuels engagement rumours as she poses for sweet selfie with ex-boyfriend

Sheridan Smith has sent friends and fans wild after posting an adorable snap with her former beau Alex online.

Sharing the pic with her 679,000 Instagram followers, the Gavin and Stacey star clearly wanted the world to know how happy she is.

The sweet social media also implied the lovebirds might be set to tie the knot.

Sheridan cupped her handsome fella’s face with her inked hand, and as she did, it wasn’t just her tattoo and impeccable nails that could be seen.

The 40-year-old actress’ wedding finger sported a little sparkle, but did it really mean what everyone hoped?

The caption certainly suggested so, with the Lincolnshire lass writing: “Life begins at 40. 40/40”, before adding a smiley face and heart.

Friends and fans of the TV personality were quick to hit the comments with their joy at the suspected big news.

“Life is too short not to be happy. Do what makes you happy and makes you smile”, advised one follower.

A second added: “Great pic. Wishing you both happiness. Definitely begins at 40. I am much more assured now than when younger”.

While a third chimed in with: “Ahh, I’m so happy for you babe. I’m 40 next year and a single mum of three so let’s hope my Mr Right is out there for me too”.

But another, not wanting to jump to conclusions, looked for a bit of clarification: “Engagement???”

The lovely social media post comes a short while after Sheridan rekindled her romance with Alex a couple of months after breaking up with fiancé Jamie Horn, who she shares a son with.

Alex hasn’t been on the scene for two decades, but Sheridan is certainly over the moon he is now.

In a previous post, the actress shared a video alongside him, saying: “So pleased this fitty I dated back in the day (20 years ago) is back in my life! Life works in mysterious ways…miss u Mr L”.

Sheridan is raising her son Billy with ex Jamie.
