Daisy, 38, is said to be madly in love with Anthony, who she first met on dating app Hinge.
A source said: “Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps.
“Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together.
“It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them.”
A rep for Daisy declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
This Country star Daisy let slip the news in an Instagram story, where she referred to Anthony as her fiance.
Promoting her BBC hit Am I Being Unreasonable, Daisy told fans her “fit fiance and baby daddy” Anthony would make a cameo appearance.
Daisy gave birth to baby Benji in June last year, revealing he had arrived “earlier” than expected.
She has two children from her previous marriage to ex-husband Will Weston.
Meanwhile, two beloved characters from This Country will reunite for Am I Being Unreasonable.
Daisy alongside co-star Charlie Cooper will reprise their roles from This Country as Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe, who will make a ‘crossover’ appearance into Am I Being Unreasonable?
Discussing blending the two shows, Daisy appeared on ITV‘s This Morning as she revealed fans would be treated to a cameo from the Cotswolds characters.
Asked by This Morning presenter Cat Deeley if her character Nic was going to get away with murder after the events of Series 1, Daisy explained: “Oh, I can’t tell you that.
“What I can tell you, you’re going to love and This Country fans are going to love this.
“Kerry and Kurtan are coming into Am I Being Unreasonable? Season 2.
“So it’s going to be a comedy crossover. So This Country fans you’ll be happy.”
