They have filled their romance with glamorous holidays abroad and fancy dinners out.

In 2018, Fred shed some light on their budding romance in the early days as he said the couple enjoyed going for wine and tapas.

The hunk said there was nothing he loved more than sitting down and watching something on Netflix with his other half.

He told Fabulous magazine: “Occasionally, I’ll go for a little wine and some tapas after work with my partner, who I like to call “fruitcake”.

“It’s nice to have a relaxing conversation and chill out when you’ve had a long day. If I do get the chance to be in the kitchen.

“In the evenings I like nothing more than sitting down with a beer and watching something on Netflix.”

Fred went public with their romance following the demise of a 12-year relationship to his longtime girlfriend Alex.

The First Dates star has never been married before but he compared his long-term relationship to a marriage.

They have two children together Andrea and Lucien.
