The pair has been dating for over a year and she previously revealed that she was a ‘better person’ for being in love. ‘I’m just better when I’m in love,’ she told Elle UK magazine.

‘That doesn’t have to mean with someone. It can also mean with myself. ‘It just feels incredible when you’re not alone, when you’re facing the world with someone else.’

She later added that she no longer feels the need to be ‘secretive’ over their relationship, and is ‘proud’ of the love they have for each other.
