Since TOWIE babe Kate Wright split from co-star Dan Edgar last year after a series of messy arguments, fans were routing for her to find a new man.

And the Essex babe didn't waste any time in moving on to former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand in the months after their split, to the delight of fans everywhere.

Despite trying super hard to keep their romance under wraps, there has been strong suspicions that the pair were an item since January, after a series of photos emerged of them leaving each other's houses. And that's not all - some rumours suggest that Kate even left The Only Way Is Essex in order to be with her new man.

But it was in fact only yesterday that the pair officially went public with their relationship, going out for a romantic drink in London as a couple.

The unlikely romance comes as welcome news to Ferdinand's fans too, after the sad news that his wife and the mother of his children Rebecca died from breast cancer in 2015.

Ferdinand documented his struggle moving on from her death in a moving documentary called 'Being Mum and Dad' on BBC One, where he was seen adjusting to looking after his children Lorenz, Tate and Tia on his own.

In the documentary, he said that there was "no right time" to move on from his wife, however speaking about their romance to The Sun last month, a source said: “Rio and Kate have enjoyed spending time with each other with other friends.

“His number one priority are his three kids and he will always put their welfare in front of anything else.

“But Kate is very smitten with him and therefore happy to wait and see what happens.”

Well, after yesterday's cosy outing, it certainly looks like the pair are getting serious.

Awww. We do love a blossoming celeb romance...
