Inside Ferne McCann's new relationship with Dubai hunk from pool parties to posh meals

TOWIE star Ferne McCann has a new man in her life as the blonde beauty continues her quest for happiness.

But the 30-year-old reality star who has had a string for failed relationships is hoping what started as a holiday romance with Lorri Haines will stand the test of time.

Ferne, who stars in her own ITV show First Time Mum, documenting her life as a single parent to 'apple of her eye' Sunday Sky.

But as she juggles her modelling work, filming her reality show around mum-life with Sunday she's previously found it difficult to settle in a suitable relationship that will fit into her lifestyle.

So as she embarks on her latest love quest let's take a look at her new man from Dubai dates to luxury meals out.

Holiday hottie

Ferne hooked up with Lorri, on a trip to Dubai and instantly fell for the tanned hunk who describes himself in his Instagram bio as: "Full time geek, part time jeweller, wannabe entrepreneur."

The pair partied in Dubai sharing sizzling snaps of their romantic rendezvous.

Ferne oozed confidence as she posed with her new man in a bikini and matching sarong with a glass of white wine in hand.

She previously dated Jack Padgett, 27, and even let him share her Essex pad during lockdown but after admitting their lifestyles didn't match, she made the painful decision to part ways with an amicable split.

She told The Sun: "I am such a sucker for love - I love love so much, and of course I want to find my happy ever after."

Dates in Dubai

Sharing a stunning shot from a luxury private boat the lovers enjoyed some quality time together.

Appearing 'pinch me happy' she told fans: "When you least expect it, you could meet someone who will completely change your life forever."

Ferne's post hints that she plans to keep Lorri in her life for more than a holiday hook up.

The model looked incredible wearing a black wrap revealing her assets as she raise a glass with her man who was smartly dressed in an open buttoned shirt and blue jeans.

In another shot shared on Instagram, the pair posed for a selfie with Ferne only having eyes for her man as he beamed back at the camera.

Sharing the post he penned: "When you know, you know…."

To which Ferne replied: "I love you my darling."

Long distance loves

Although Ferne has strived to provide a stable and loving home for her daughter Sun day in Essex, she reportedly hasn't ruled out splitting her time between Dubai and the UK in the future.

The fitness guru is allegedly 'head over heels' with the businessman and hopes they can both fly back and forth between the two countries to see each other.

It comes just days after she made her romance with the property expert public, posting a slew of loved-up snaps from her recent trip to see him in the UAE.

The reality star has previously persisted in a long distance relationship after catching the eye of Albie Gibbs while he resided in New York.

She later said: 'How can I see a future with someone when I can't physically be with them for the foreseeable future? I was naïve to think the long distance thing would be OK. We have broken up and it is proper s**t.

"It sucks to say that I think he was the right guy, and I want to stress this, the right guy at the wrong time."

Happily ever after

Ferne has seemingly thrown herself into life with Lorri and her friends and fans back in Essex have welcomed the new love interest with open arms as she announced their status on Instagram.

Mummy Diaries star and close pal Billie Faires posted: "Beautiful"

Meanwhile her Samantha Faires chimed in: "New couple alert".

And former TOWIE star and gal pal Dannielle Armstrong added: "And Just Like that.." with a heart emoji.

But the true test of their relationship could come when she introduces Lorri to her daughter Sunday, who failed to bond with ex Jack and put extra pressure on their relationship.

But for now at least the pair look enviably smitten as we expect to see more smouldering shots from the sun soaked Dubai shores.
