Damian and louise23 are both correct.
The added e is to distinguish man from woman.
It is pronounced " fee-an-say" for both ways of writing it.
In French, the man is "fiancé" to his girls, the "fiancée".
I know because French is my mother tongue.

Both are correct. One is for a male (Fiance) and the other is for a female (Fiancee).

If you had noticed it comes from a french word and such you should pronounce it the way it is meant to be...

Fiance Masculin Version Of The Word
Fiancee Feminine Version Of The Word
So they're both right.

Damian is right. Fiance is male and fiancee is female.

According to dictionary fiancé and fiancée both are right. Its use varies from person to person, may be someone is feeling comfortable pronouncing it as fiancé on the contrary someone else is feeling comfortable pronouncing it as a fiancée. Both are correct and both mean the same. Generally the use of these words is dependent on countries also. The choices and pronunciation of western countries like USA, UK, Canada and Australia vary from other countries in the world and that is the reason why there is a usage of both these words. Some country prefers pronouncing one of them whereas some other country prefers pronouncing the other one. Thus we can say that from the grammatical point of view there is absolutely no problem in using any one of them and that is the reason why these two words are randomly used by various countries in their own way.
