She admitted recently she hoped to marry Simpson, who she started dating in late 2009. She told Glamour magazine recently: 'We’re buying a house and, hopefully, he’ll pop the question.

She became engaged to millionaire Robert Hanson, 17 years her senior, but the relationship was over by 2000. It was during her high profile relationship with former Chelsea goalie Mark Bosnich in 2002 that her cocaine addition became public.
