Over Pete: Kate seen yesterday leaving her Hampstead home
Sources close to 33-year-old Kate, said that Sunday's engagement isn't formal but it's Kate's way of showing her love for Jamie - who she has been dating for a few weeks - and also her way of letting former love, rocker Pete Doherty, know that it is over between them - for ever.
Kate reportedly told friends: "I love Jamie so much - we're engaged!"
The night before her bold statement, Kate and The Kills guitarist Jamie, 39, attended a friend's wedding and spent the night getting closer than ever.

"They had spent the night making love and Kate asked him during that.
"He was overjoyed because that's what he wanted, too. They're clearly totally in love with each other.
The source added: "No one thinks they are actually going to walk down the aisle any time soon - they know it was Kate's way of saying she's serious about him.

Celebrity fight club: Kate and Sienna reportedly got caught up in a feud at a friend's wedding
Kate accused the girl-about-town of stealing her style - and her friends, according to new reports.
The pair allegedly came to blows after a long day celebrating at the wedding reception of former model Rose Ferguson and artist Jake Chapman's party in Islington, North London, with Jude Law's ex Sadie Frost and Davinia Taylor.

"It was really cutting and everyone was listening to them.
"A few drinks had been sunk by the time Kate said it and Sienna had plucked up some Dutch courage too. She gave Kate as good as she got."

Hand in hand: Sienna looks to Rhys for support as the pair head home
Later Kate reportedly had a row with Rhys over the phone after she, Jamie, Sadie and pals went off to a party - but banned Sienna.
A source told The Mirror: "Kate made it clear Sienna was not welcome in the Primrose Hill clan and never would be.
"She said Rhys was welcome to come to the party on his own but without Sienna.
"Rhys went mad and he and Kate had a screaming match."
The four bottles of vodka and crate of champagne at the party may have helped bring Kate's temper to the boil.
Sienna's new "friendship" with 40-year-old Welsh actor Rhys Ifans was said to be a source of tension - Kate, 33 has long considered him a friend and is reported to be unimpressed the 25-year-old is infiltrating her close circle.
Kate's close friend Sadie Frost and Ifans reportedly intervened, forcing the feuding pair to call a truce - for the night at least.
The fellow guest told the paper: "Sadie stood between them and reminded them that it was a wedding and that they should show some respect."
Meanwhile, it has emerged that twelve months after the cocaine scandal that rocked Kate's career, she has been axed from seven high-profile modelling contracts.
Kate has been dropped from a number of her most lucrative deals including those with Agent Provocateur and Coco Chanel.

Where the hell is her kid in all of this?

Oh grow up girls, they move in the same circles, why not just be mates and have done with it.
- Lou, London
Kate who? Silly, silly girl!
- Martin, Acton
She's a little sad. Evidently, Kate is one of those women who can't go solo. Can she not take a few months off just to just be by herself, and/or date around a bit before declaring herself "in love?"
- Annette, Durham, NC
Silly and catty. If Kate were as cool as people seem to think she is she wouldn't be concerned about Sienna Miller at all, she'd laugh it off. She's obviously feeling a bit insecure and feels like Sienna's taking away too much of her limelight. Makes her look fairly pathetic, and Sienna comes off well having defended herself. Great grey blazer though!
- Debi, North London
Silly girl.
- Rd, Glamorgan, UK
Er, didn't she love Pete so much she was engaged to him too? Deja vu! Seriously though - enough of Kate - she's such a loser and a bad role model.
- Jk, Kent
I love celebs, they are so silly, they make you feel normal. I'd give these guys a year at most.
- John, London
Kate's trying all sorts of tactics to keeping in the media spotlight nowadays. She should stick to what she's good at, walking up and down!

Grow up Moss, you are not in kindergarten, you don't have a monopoly on your friends!
