Actress and filmmaker Bella Thorne has revealed that she is engaged to UK entrepreneur and producer Mark Emms, ending months of speculation about her love life. The pair have been together since late 2022 and frequently share glimpses of their relationship on social media.
A whirlwind connection in Ibiza
Thorne and Emms first met at Cara Delevingne’s birthday party on a beach in Ibiza in August 2022. In a recent interview, the former Disney star recalled that “It was love at first sight as the sun rose,” describing an instant bond that continued long after the summer celebration. Photographs of the couple kissing on a yacht in Mykonos surfaced a month later, confirming their budding romance.
From yacht photos to a proposal at home
Nearly nine months after they began dating, Emms proposed at Thorne’s home in May 2023 with a 10‑carat emerald‑cut diamond ring. Friends and family joined the newly‑engaged couple for an intimate celebration immediately afterward. On Valentine’s Day this year, Thorne posted a carousel of photos on Instagram and called February 14 “The best day of the year – Mark’s Birthday,” highlighting the strength of their bond.
Who is Mark Emms?
Emms is the owner of Emms Productions and an executive producer with Eastern Road Films. His résumé includes the 2022 Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives., which earned him industry recognition. Earlier in his career, he founded Fire Global Media Productions in 2008 and led the company until 2019.
Wedding plans still under wraps
Details about the couple’s ceremony remain undisclosed, though Thorne has hinted that she would like a European celebration followed by a stateside event for friends who cannot travel. For now, the actress and her fiancé appear focused on enjoying their engagement and continuing their respective film and production projects.
