The 62-year-old star popped the question to Jeanne Marine very recently and she said yes - meaning the family have something to look forward to after losing Peaches so suddenly.
According to the Daily Mail, Jerry Hall revealed the couple's happy news as she is very good friends with 49-year-old Jeanne.
"Bob has proposed. She is over the moon. Jeanne Marine has been a rock and a tower of strength over this. I’m so excited for her I am bursting to tell someone," Jerry explained.

"Bob and Jeanne have been through hell, but they are determined something positive will come out of it. After all the sadness, we need something to focus on which will bring joy and light."
Mother-of-four Jerry was present at Peaches' funeral in Davington, Kent, last week.
Speaking at the Wellcome Book Prize ceremony in London, she added: "I’ve just got back from Texas and accompanied Jeanne to the funeral. It was, of course, terribly sad, but she told me that Bob had asked her to marry him out of the blue. I’m so happy for her. It makes you realise we all have to value what we have."

Sir Bob first met Jeanne at a Paris dinner party after fleeing to France following his divorce from Paula Yates in 1996.
"I liked his elegance and his Irishness," Jeanne later said of her partner.
"Bob is exactly the kind of man I’ve always been waiting for. He’s compassionate, charming, intelligent and, on top of that, good-looking. He’s the most handsome man in the world and I adore him."
Sir Bob has since returned the compliment, and said of his fiancé: "Jeanne insisted on finding something lovable in this most unlovable of men. This creature at his most ugly, physically and spiritually. I was detestable."
