Supermodel Kate Moss' boyfriend, singer Pete Doherty, has confirmed reports that the two are engaged and they could be heading down the aisle as soon as next month.

"Yes, it's true, I have asked her to marry me - and she's agreed. I told her that if we were to continue going out with each other then she'd have to marry me," celebrity portal Femalefirst quoted the Babyshambles frontman as saying.

The catwalk beauty, who sparked engagement rumours last week after being spotted wearing a gold ring, had started dating the self-confessed heroin addict only in January after she met him at her 31st birthday party.

Said Doherty, who is currently facing criminal charges of robbery and assault: "She assured me she doesn't trust me an inch - and I'm a bit paranoid and insecure. But she's one of the most beautiful women in the world, so who wouldn't be insecure? Thankfully, she agreed to marry me."

"We haven't set a date yet, but if things aren't going well in court we may have to marry before the case ends. Obviously, with it all hanging over our heads we can't plan too much ahead."
