According to The Sunday Times, a pal has claimed that the 29-year-old is “taking religious instruction” as she prepares to marry her fashion tycoon boyfriend, who at 61, is 32 years her senior.

The couple are believed to have got engaged just before Christmas, according to The Sun.

“She’s been in Cape Town for the holidays and told her mother and the rest of the family. Michael is loved by all of them. Despite his wealth, he’s very humble and low key,” a source spilled to the Daily Mail.

South African-born Michael is a chairman of the South African retailer Foschini and is said to be worth $152 million. He is father to three grown-up children from his previous marriage.

Lady Kitty and Michael were first linked last August after being spotted strolling through New York City and kissing after leaving Club 55 in St Tropez

It’s believed Lewis, who was born in South Africa, married his first wife — and the mother of his children — Leola in an Orthodox Jewish ceremony back in 1985, before divorcing later on.

Meanwhile, Kitty’s cousin Prince William is a future Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
