Rhodri Giggs is set to remarry some 14 years after his love rat and Manchester United star brother Ryan admitted to having an affair with his ex-wife.
The 49-year-old has been dating his new woman, Victoria Phillips, from Stockport, for more than a year and proposed earlier this month.
Rhodri, who is a former semi-professional footballer himself, shot to the public limelight in 2011 after it emerged that his then-wife Natasha had been having an affair with his brother.
The affair, which began in 2003, tore the Giggs family apart and led to Rhodri and Natasha getting divorced.
But the brothers have since mended their relationship, with Rhodri even stating publicly that he profited from the affair to the tune of £1 million.
He and his new love, blonde bombshell Victoria, went public with their engagement on their Instagram pages earlier this week.
Victoria posted a photo of her diamond engagement ring with the caption '18/10/2025'.
Rhodri joked: 'Couldn't say yes quicker enough. Thank you everyone, I agree she is very lucky.'

The announcement was met with plenty of support for the couple, including from Corrie star Andy Whyment, who wrote: 'Congratulations to you both.'
Another said: 'Congratulations Rhodri. So happy for you. The universe blessed you accordingly. Good people always end up on top. Sending you endless blessings and may your future be blessed with love, light and happiness.'
A third added: 'There's going to be a lot of people happy for you lad! Congrats to you both.'
Rhodri, who played for clubs including Torquay United and Salford City before moving into coaching, gained notoriety when the eight-year affair between Natasha and Ryan came to light in 2011.
Their affair was conducted behind the backs of both Rhodri and Ryan's then-wife Stacey.
Natasha admitted the infidelity in 2011, with the pair since divorcing and moving on with new partners.
Rhodri currently runs a podcast and works in recruitment.
Natasha recently got married to fireman Haroon Headley.

In a recent social media exchange, Rhodri indicated he had profited financially from the scandal.
Responding to one user on social media, the 48-year-old wrote: 'Mate, it was over 14 years ago and I've got two kids with someone else and made s*** load of money from it.'
He added: 'I buzz off it. It was 14 years ago and I made about £1 million from it. Can't be on X and not expect a little bit of shrapnel coming your way. All part of the fun.'
Rhodri has previously claimed his ex-wife Natasha bedded several other footballers during their marriage.
Speaking in 2021 he said: 'I could name ten footballers she had been with.
'After it had all happened I went to Portugal with two naughty lads and as I walked into one of the bars, one of the guys was stood behind the door with his mate.
'And as I walked in and I walked to the bar, I turned around. And all you could see was the door shutting. I could go on and on.
'They are all it. Everyone is s****ing everyone. It could be your mate. It is warped.
'One of his mates said, 'Ryan, this is your kid's wife – what are you doing?' But no.

'Ryan deserved to be on a pedestal because of his career. But he ruined his legacy by doing what he did.'
Natasha – who has two children with Rhodri – appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012.
She told her housemates: 'I had a really long affair with a footballer who happened to be my brother-in-law.'
While his brother may have moved on, Giggs' reputation doesn't appear to have recovered from the affair.
He has since had a fling with model Imogen Thomas and divorced his wife Stacey, which was finalised in 2017.
The former winger, 51, also left his role as Wales manager in 2022 after being arrested on suspicion of assault. He always denied the claims and was cleared in 2023 after his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville withdrew from the trial.
Giggs was recently spotted beaming as he pushed his new baby girl in her pram alongside girlfriend Zara Charles.
The ex-Wales international and Zara, 36, made their first appearance with baby Cora near Old Trafford in Manchester last November.
Despite Rhodri's good news, one cheeky follower couldn't resist having a dig at him when he posted a picture of them together on his Instagram page, commenting: 'Don't show your brother.'
