A source told The Sun: ‘The pair have been seeing each other for quite a few months and are absolutely smitten.
‘She gets on really well with his family and they decided to be together with them during quarantine.
‘It’s been a while since her last boyfriend. She took her time, didn’t rush into anything and she really thinks things can go far with Will who is a proper man’s man.’
