Marisa announced her engagement to West End star Jamie in July 2024 and admitted she was a ‘weeping mess’ after he popped the question after four years of dating.
The hunky actor shared pictures and videos of the moment, captioned: ‘She said she’ll think about it!’, with Marisa commenting: ‘A weeping mess.’
In an apparent sweet nod to the late singer Amy, who Marisa found global fame playing , the pair celebrated on Primrose Hill – one of Amy’s favourite haunts.
In Jamie’s post, Marisa could be seen leaping into her partner’s arms, after he got down on one knee in the park, for a sweet embrace.
The actress was then surprised by her friends and family who had gathered to congratulate the couple on their joyous news.
An adorable snap holding onto a rose also allowed Marisa to show off her whopping diamond ring.
Jamie made his professional debut in the West End adaptation of Moulin Rouge where he played Christian, he also starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspect Of Love.
Back To Black was released in April 2024 and saw Marisa play the role of late singer-songwriter Amy, with scenes depicting her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil (played by Jack O’Connell).

Blake, who was wed to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011.
Despite Back To Black catapulting Marisa to fame, the biopic, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, was slated by film critics as a ‘poor piece of filmmaking’ and a ‘Saturday-night impersonation’ of the star.
Marisa previously revealed the strict regime she followed to shrink to Amy’s slender frame, telling Harper’s Bazaar UK ‘feeling frailer’ helped her with characterisation.
‘I had help to do it safely; I consulted a dietician and was being monitored. Feeling frailer and smaller helped – I hadn’t understood, before, how much that affects your tempo’, the actress explained.
‘During her Frank era [in 2005 when her first album was released], Amy is fast and loud and boisterous with her arms, her movements are big.’
‘Once I started to change, I realised that you can’t physically make those same movements. It’s uncomfortable to sit. You’re tired, you’re hungry, you’re more exposed.’
Marisa also explained that she developed a connection with Amy having also grown up in a Jewish household.
‘The more I got to know her, the more I felt a major connection to this spiky Jewish girl from London who had a lot to say and was really quite unafraid.’
‘I remembered how I felt when I was young, seeing that woman who was proud and cool, wearing a big Star of David in between a cleavage and a nice bra.’
‘I understood what a Friday-night dinner would look like in her home, the humour in her family. I loved how effervescent she was, how huge a soul, how she just permeated any room she was in.
‘But also, her relationship to her art form, and wanting to be good. That was the most important thing.’
