Lewis Burton has appeared to confirm his new romance with Lottie Tomlinson by piling on the PDA with her in the street.
Tennis coach and male model Lewis, 28, reportedly grew close with Lottie in the wake of Caroline Flack’s suicide, and while the pair previously dismissed speculation they were together, these pictures seem to confirm they’re a lot more than just friends.
After flying out to Ibiza together on Lewis Hamilton’s private jet, he and Lottie, 21, were spotted all over each other on the White Isle.
Lewis was seen grabbing Lottie’s bum and groping it as he stuck his tongue down her throat outside a restaurant where they enjoyed a romantic meal in the Mediterranean heat.
At one point the pair looked uncomfortable as they were spotted having a heated discussion outside their taxi, with Lewis grabbing Lottie’s wrists.
But their blip quickly blew over and they were seen entwined and passionately embracing.
Lottie wore a white floaty maxi-skirt emblazoned with a floral print, pairing it with white sliders and a metallic bronze crop top that showed off her tight abs.
Her long platinum blonde hair spilled over her shoulders and down her torso in soft waves, and she finished off the look with a blue face mask.
Lewis, meanwhile, opted for a casual look with black shorts, a matching t-shirt, a flashy silver watch and black hi-top sneakers, accessorising with a pair of aviator sunglasses perched on top of his head.
It’s believed to be the new couple’s first holiday together, although some pals have reportedly expressed concern at how fast they’re moving, given Caroline died just six months ago.
Lottie was good friends with the Love Island star, whose inquest earlier this month ruled she had taken her own life after being told the CPS was going ahead with its prosecution of her for assaulting Lewis doing a boozy bust-up.
But Lewis and Lottie – the influencer sister of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson – are believed to have bonded over their respective grief in the wake of Caroline’s death, with Lottie still working through her feelings after both her mum Johanna and sister Félicité died in the last four years.
The pair grew close at a party thrown by Caroline’s close pal Lou Teasdale to mark three months since her death.
They began meeting up in secret, to the consternation of a number of Caroline’s circle.
“Not all of Caroline’s friends are happy with how the situation appears to be developing but can understand that both Lottie and Lewis have been there for each other as a shoulder to cry on,” one told the Daily Mail in July.
“Lewis spent last week in Marbella while Lottie was in St Tropez the weekend previous, they couldn’t wait to be reunited with each other on Friday.”
The couple’s romance confirmation comes just weeks after a coroner confirmed Caroline hanged herself after finding out she would be standing trial for assaulting Lewis.
She had been arrested at her north London home in December 2019 after smashing a bedside lamp over Lewis’ head while he slept, having found texts on his phone that make it appear like he was cheating.
A picture of their bloodstained bed was sent by Lewis to his ex after Caroline was led from her house by police.
Just two months later, Caroline left a note reading “Please let this court case be dropped and myself and Lewis find harmony” before taking her own life.
