In his post, Nic expressed his deep affection for Isabella, stating, “I’m crying AGAIN. I couldn’t love you guys more,” in response to the outpouring of support from family and friends. The couple, together for nearly a decade, elatedly announced their engagement with Nic declaring, “Forever ❤️.” In intimate comments, he thanked Isabella for making him the happiest man in the world and expressed excitement for their life ahead together.
Isabella reciprocated Nic’s sentiment, reminiscing about their relationship since she was 16 years old. “What we have is magical, it’s always been you,” she proclaimed, affirming her commitment to Nic as her best friend and future husband. Her heartfelt words reflected the couple’s long-standing love and partnership.
Among the well-wishers was Lily Collins, who commented on the engagement post with enthusiastic support. Reflecting on the occasion, she stated her happiness for the couple, declaring Isabella as a sister in spirit long before their engagement made it official. “You both are so lucky. We love you beyond ❤️❤️❤️,” she added, highlighting the strong bond that exists within their family.
The family continued to celebrate this exciting milestone, with Nic’s brother, Matthew Collins, sharing his enthusiasm online as well. In a playful comment, he noted, “So proud of you guys ❤️seems I’m stuck with the both of you but that ain’t so bad 😘,” suggesting a light-hearted affection for the couple’s enduring love story. Similarly, their sister Joely, 53, chimed in, expressing her delight and affirming that the pair were indeed destined for one another.
Prior to the engagement, Nic had shared sweet messages to honour Isabella’s birthday and their anniversaries. Celebrating nine years together last November, he wrote about how much he cherished their time as a couple, further reinforcing the love they share. “I love you more than words can say and fall harder for you each day,” he noted, which garnered affectionate responses from Lily and showcases the supportive dynamics within their family.
Lily Collins, who wedded Charlie McDowell in 2021, shares a close relationship with her brothers and sister, stemming from their father Phil Collins’ diverse family life. Phil, whose career as a musician has spanned decades, is also the father of Simon Collins, with whom Lily shares a unique family connection.
In previous interviews, Lily has spoken fondly of her bond with all her half-siblings, often highlighting how “super close” they are despite their varied backgrounds and experiences. The Collins family has shown resilience and support for one another through the years, weathering the challenges that life may offer.
As the engagement draws attention, it is clear that love and familial ties remain at the forefront for the Collins family. Both Nic and Isabella are surrounded by warmth and congratulations, celebrating not only their union but the strength of their family bonds.
As they embark on this new chapter together, the excitement from those closest to them is palpable, and the heartfelt declarations of love continue to pour in. The future appears to be bright for the Collins family, as they celebrate this momentous occasion in Nic and Isabella’s lives, marking a new beginning filled with promise and joy.
