Ferne McCann has reportedly moved on from her ex and father of her daughter, Arthur Collins, two months after he was sentenced to 20 years following an acid attack in London last April – as she is said to have a new boyfriend.
“He's quite a bit older than her and she seems the happiest she's been in a long time,” a source told The Sun.
Ferne is said to have known the new mystery man for over a year, but the relationship took on a new romantic nature about a month and a half ago.
"She's had a terrible time of things so she's being realistic - she's keen to keep the romance out of the spotlight as he's not a celebrity and it's early days,” the source continued.
They added: "But she's the happiest she's been in ages."
News of this new romance comes after Ferne was forced to deny she had rekindled her relationship with Arthur as she took her daughter Sunday to visit him in prison.
Ferne took to twitter to dismiss the claims: “Regarding today’s many FALSE stories about me (and sorry to bore you all)…
“For the record (again) I am not in a relationship with Arthur. I do not know how much clearer I could be about that!!...
“Arthur is Sunday’s father. I have had to communicate with him and his family with respect to Sunday (and so you all know, mainly through lawyers)."
