LOVE ISLAND star Arabella Chi and footballer Ruben Dias appeared to confirm their romance as they were pictured at an airport together.
The pair have been rumoured to be dating since September.
And now it seems they are still going strong heading into 2024.
Manchester City defender Dias, 26, and glamorous model Arabella, 32, jetted off on holiday on New Year’s Day.
They were snapped arriving at Manchester Airport before checking their suitcases in for their flight.
Dias tried to keep himself anonymous with a black cap and a black hoody over his head with black trousers and white trainers.

Arabella, meanwhile, opted for a cream Boohoo hoody and joggers combo and trainers as she let her hair down and travelled make-up free.
It is unclear where the celebrity duo were heading, with neither star posting on their Instagram stories.
Dias boasts a whopping 3.5million followers while Arabella currently has one million – with the verified pair following each other.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted sharing very similar posts of the Eiffel Tower in November – including the same bystanders in the photos.

And SunSport revealed the pair had been secretly dating for four weeks after being introduced by mutual friends.
Arabella was regularly flying from her Ibiza base to visit Dias in Manchester, who in turn was “showering” his new belle with gifts.
A source said: “They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurants.
“Ruben and Arabella are trying to keep their relationship under wraps because it’s early days.
“But they had the best time together in Paris and seem to be really falling for each other.”
Just days later, Arabella feared for her life as she was dragged from her car and burgled in a horrific attack.
Influencer Chi from London rose to fame when she appeared on Love Island in 2019 and later featured in blockbuster movies such as Wonder Woman and Justice League.
She was previously linked with French rugby ace Yoann Huget and DJ Tom Zanetti before dating New York businessman Richie Akiva until September.
Ruben endured a bitter split from his popstar ex April Ivy in 2021 after three years together.
The singer then released a single called Broken Promises, in an apparent reflection on their break-up.
The footballer then kissed cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa on a boat in 2022 but is understood to have been single until meeting Arabella, although he keeps his personal life private.
Dias enjoyed a fine 2023 on the pitch, too, as he played a key role in Manchester City winning the Treble and then adding the Super Cup and Club World Cup to their brimming trophy cabinet.
