Aretha Franklin has not lost her groove!
The 69-year-old soul singer has announced her engagement to long time friend William “Willie” Wilkerson, according to The Associated Press.
The Grammy-winning singer told The Associated Press in a statement Monday that she and Wilkerson are considering a summer wedding, perhaps in Miami Beach, Fla. The Queen of Soul wants to follow the ceremony with a reception on a private yacht.
The 69-year-old jokes: “No, I’m not pregnant.”

Vera Wang, get to sewing because divas are particular! Aretha has been married twice before but sometimes the third time is a charm.
We are so thrilled with all the engagement news the holidays have brought. Best of luck to Aretha and William!
