Alexander Mark Heming Gilkes is a British millionaire. He is the co-founder of Squared Circles, launched in 2020, and was the co-founder and president of Paddle8 from 2011 to 2018.
The 40-year-old businessman is also a close friend of Prince Harry and Prince William.
His younger brother Charlie Gilkes is also rumoured to have been in a relationship with Pippa Middleton during their time at Edinburgh University.
Alexander shared the news on Instagram Thursday. He also posted a loved up photo of him along with her sweetheart.
Alexander captioned the post: "Thank you for making me a very, very happy boy. I look forward to a lifetime of loving you and learning from you @mariasharapova." He added a ring emoji.
