ROXANNE Pallett is secretly engaged to her New York firefighter boyfriend Jason Carrion, the Sun Online can reveal.
The former Hollyoaks star has found happiness in America after a chance meeting with the Married At First Sight star in Brooklyn.
“Jason met Roxannes mum for the first time during their recent trip to the UK and she absolutely adored him,” a source close to Roxanne exclusively tells The SUn Online.
Jason got Roxanne’s mum’s blessing to propose and he recently popped the question.
“Jason has been a rock to Roxanne since theyve been together,” the source continued.
“Theyve had very parallel lives and share an intense connection because of their past struggles.
“Hes fiercely protective over her and has told friends that shes the one hes been searching for all this time.”
Roxanne and Jason met in Brooklyn when she got out of a cab across the road from him and seemed to be lost.
“They began talking and went for coffee which then turned into an inseparable week. It was love at first sight,” a source said.
The new romance came seven months after Roxanne and fiance Lee Walton parted ways – with Jason divorced from Cortney Hendrix, who he married on the reality show.
“Friends say he never truly clicked with the girl the show matched him with and there was a great deal of pressure to keep up appearances for it,” the source added.
“At the same time, Roxanne too ended her impulsive engagement to one of her Instagram followers last year after admitting she wasnt in her right frame of mind and was embarrassed about a lot of decisions she was making during that time.”
They have been on holiday in Florida
Roxanne came under fire when she mistakenly accused actor Ryan Thomas of hitting herwhen they both appeared in CBB last summer.
Viewers were stunned as the actress broke down in tears and demanded he was removed from the house – despite footage showing that the actions were playful.
Ryan ended up winning the show, while Roxanne went into hiding and sought therapy over her “issues”,revealing that she was suffering from PTSD.
Steelworker Lee initially stood by her following the scandal, but the relationship fell apart soon afterwards.
Jason filed for divorce last year after marrying a stranger on the reality show Married At First Sight.
