Comedy Star Tom Rosenthal Announces Happy Engagement
Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal, best known for his role as Jonny Goodman in the hit Channel 4 show Friday Night Dinner, has shared some wonderful personal news. The 37-year-old star has announced his engagement to his long-term partner, Gabrielle Sky.
A Sparkling Instagram Reveal
Rosenthal chose Instagram to break the happy news to his fans and followers. He published a charming composition of four photos featuring himself and Gabrielle, with one image prominently showcasing her impressive diamond engagement ring.
In a characteristically witty and personal caption, he wrote: "You'll fall in love, I know you will. My number one is the Queen of Brizzle. My fiancée, she'll give you hell. My wall at the back is Gabrielle."
Fans and Co-Stars Share the Joy
The announcement was met with an immediate and enthusiastic flood of congratulations from fans and colleagues alike. Comments ranged from simple "LOVE! Congratulations!!!!" to more heartfelt wishes for "a lifetime of happiness together."
The engagement news comes just months after the couple welcomed their first child. Their daughter, Simi Valentine Rosenthal, was born on February 8, 2025. Gabrielle previously documented the challenging birth on Instagram, expressing her immense gratitude after "five days of labour and an emergency C-section."
A Year of Milestones for the Couple
The couple's journey to this point has been marked by several public announcements. They first revealed they were expecting a child in September 2024 with a joint Instagram post. In a touching nod to his late Friday Night Dinner co-star Paul Ritter, who played his on-screen father Martin Goodman, the caption simply read: "Hello Bambino."
This reference did not go unnoticed by fans or former co-stars. Tracy-Ann Oberman, who played Auntie Val in the series, reacted in character, writing: "Aw Mazels Jonny! Feel quite emosh. Aunty Val."
With a new baby and now a wedding on the horizon, it appears Tom Rosenthal and Gabrielle Sky are embarking on an exciting new chapter together.
