The couple went public when they attended the annual gala for the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture in New York in December.

Late last year engagement rumours for the couple started to circulate after a friend of Beatrice’s A friend the Sun: ‘They’ve been on holiday together and Beatrice introduced him to Fergie and her dad. Things are moving very quickly and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they got engaged within a short period of time.

‘They could even be tying the knot in 2019 — it’s already been discussed by her friends. Everyone is thrilled that Bea is so happy and in such a good place right now.’

He is Beatrice’s first boyfriend since she split from Uber executive Dave Clark in 2016 after 10 years together.
