Singer Mollie King, 30,  has been seeing England cricketer Stuart Broad, 31, since March and is loving the fact that she's in love. "I love being in love. I literally love being in love. I'm so romantic. I'm such a girly girl.

I don't want to be in one of those couples where you feel like, 'Are we really into each other?' Women are now so independent and I see a husband or boyfriend as a bonus. We've all worked really hard to be successful for ourselves rather than for who we are dating," King told British newspaper The Daily Star recently. However, King did take a dig at Broad [in good humour we hope, for the cricketer's sake) , saying that she preferred American men over British guys.

"I was in a long-term relationship with an American guy and they're a lot more forward with their feelings. I think British guys, from what I know, are a bit more Mr Darcy. Americans are more upfront, which I quite like, to be honest, because I don't really like the chase," added King, who earlier dated US model David Gandy.
