The excitement online was hard to miss. Comments poured in from fans convinced that something big was coming. Some said they had suspected it for months, citing her frequent trips to Singapore as a hint. Others were simply overjoyed.
So, who is Ishmael William?
Ishmael William is a businessman based in Singapore. He is not a public figure. He does not have a visible social media presence and has stayed away from the spotlight entirely. Very little is known about his professional background or personal life outside of his relationship with Winget.
What is confirmed is that the two have been in a relationship for a significant period of time. Sources close to the actor describe the relationship as warm and affectionate.
The proposal
According to a source close to Winget, William proposed during a holiday. She said yes. The couple is now in the planning stages of their wedding.
Winget has reportedly been shortlisting wedding vendors and services. She has also put together a mood board for the event.
Things are moving.
Wedding plans in motion
The wedding is likely to be a Christian ceremony. Two timelines are currently under consideration. One window is September to October. The other is December to January. Venues are being scouted.
The planning is not taking place in total secrecy. A close circle of friends is already aware. That includes industry names. Actors Harleen Sethi and Genelia Deshmukh are among those said to be in the know.
No official announcement has come from either Winget or William.
What about Karan Wahi?
Before the Ishmael William reports surfaced, fans had been speculating about a possible romance between Winget and actor Karan Wahi. Those rumours gained some traction online.
However, Wahi dismissed them. There was nothing to those claims.
Jennifer’s previous marriage
Winget has been married once before. She was married to actor Karan Singh Grover. The two first crossed paths on the sets of the television show ‘Dill Mill Gayye’. They fell in love, and married in April 2012. The marriage lasted two years. They divorced in 2014.
Grover moved on and married actor Bipasha Basu in 2016. The two had fallen in love while filming the movie Alone, which released in 2015. Winget, for her part, has kept her personal life largely private since the divorce.
A new chapter
Winget is 41. She has built a long and celebrated career in Indian television. Shows like ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay’, ‘Saraswatichandra’, ‘Beyhadh’, and ‘Bepannah’ made her a household name. She also stepped into OTT with ‘Code M’.
Now, it appears she is stepping into a new phase of her personal life. If the reports hold, Ishmael William will be the man beside her for it. Fans are waiting for the official word. For now, all signs point to wedding bells.
