Lover perhaps married (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admirer

'lover' is the definition.
(I know that admirer is a type of lover)

'perhaps married' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'married' is an anagram of 'ADMIRER'.

(Other definitions for admirer that I've seen before include "Supporter or fan" , "Married (anag) -- lover" , "sweetheart" , "Hopeful lover?" , "Married to one who thinks highly of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
