Pippa Middleton is secretly engaged to her stockbroker boyfriend Nico Jackson, according to new reports. Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson, who have been dating for six months, are said to be announcing their engagement after Pippa's 30th birthday.

According to an acquaintance of the couple Pippa loved seeing Kate go down the aisle and now it is her turn for a ­fairytale wedding. They are such a good match for each other and their families get on truly well. Everyone is so happy for Pippa.

Pippa and Nico are set to get married in next spring. Carole Middleton is supposed to be behind the engagement. Pippa Middleton is busy 'designing a ring and planning a reception at the home of her parents. Pippa and Nico supposedly got engaged during Wimbledon, where they were photographed getting cosy and sharing kisses as they watched the men's semi-finals. According to the Mirror reports.

July 5th, 2013 - Wimbledon with Nico.

The big question is whether Kate will serve as a bridesmaid or maid of honour for her little sister, given her royal status and popularity. Whether or not Kate Middleton will be a bridesmaid for her sister, 'it remains to be seen,' says a source close to Pippa.

'Everyone knows how close the sisters are but at this stage the final arrangements are a long way off. Pippa's wedding will be a huge occasion but if Kate is bridesmaid it will be even more high-profile.'

'One of the things Pippa likes most is the way Nico is so relaxed around her parents. They really like him,' the insider continued.

Now the limelight will move to the younger sister, as it did on Kate's wedding day. Pippa's maid-of-honour dress caused quite a stir and helped launch her into the celebrity sphere. Since then, the world has been captivated by her style and whom she is dating and apparently getting married to.

Nico Jackson is a doing well as stockbroker, and the two have a great deal in common, including a mutual love of tennis. They have been photographed at a number of occasions together, including Wimbledon. Pippa Middleton lately started writing for "Vanity Fair," and her first column was devoted to the tennis. Pippa Middleton is working as a food columnist for Waitrose Kitchen magazine.

We'd love to see another fairytale wedding for the Middleton family!
