And if he looks familiar to you, that’s because he also had a short-lived stint on reality TV, appearing on the Channel 4 reality show Shipwrecked way back in 2007.

She has been quietly introducing him to friends in recent months and also posed with him for a photo at a London Fashion Week party last weekend.

A source explained: “Paloma and Stevie are absolutely head over heels for each other but she’s been telling people it also feels like her healthiest relationship ever.

“He’s 6ft6 and she loves how he towers over her.

“It’s sexy and exciting but he’s also very in touch with his feelings and a great communicator.

“They are very tactile when they are around each other and it feels very special.

“It’s like they are kindred spirits and they’re in it for the long term.”

Paloma split from the father of her two children, artist Leyman Lahcine, in 2023 after a decade together.

She channelled the heartache from that break-up into her 2024 album The Glorification of Sadness.

But she is clearly feeling more positive now.

The Can’t Rely On You singer teased her new romance during an appearance on the Newlyweds podcast earlier this month.

She said: “I was like, OK, I might be on my own, and when you think that, you obviously meet someone and it’s nice.”

Asked if she’s in love again, she said: “Yeah.

"But also I feel like I’m coming from the perspective that I know how it can pan out.

“It can go stale if we don’t invest and if we don’t ask each other.

“I also really believe in therapy so much.”

Judging by their PDA in the early hours of Sunday morning, they’re made for each other.
