A TOWIE favourite has gone public with her new man – making their romance Instagram official.
The TV star, 33, captured sweet scenes showing the hunky landscape gardener carrying her daughter on his shoulders during an evening stroll.
Lydia Bright has been a firm favourite among TOWIE fans despite no longer starring on the show, giving them an adorable insight into her relationship status.
James Argent’s former partner is mum to Loretta, aged four, who she shares with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin, and the tot could be seen beaming with delight as she was carried by Ben Davies.
The duo were trilling along to a song from Disney movie Wish, which Lydia added as the video’s backdrop music too.
She uploaded the scenes with the touching tribute which read: “There are so many reason why I love you, but this is my number one.”
Addressing their relationship milestone, she added: “Six months of us.”
Ben was quick to reply with a trio of red hearts and the words: “Love ypu.”
Lydia’s former ITVBe co-star Kate Ferdinand added: “How special.”
A fan then gushed: “Oh wow! Announcement! How lovely.”
New love
Back in March, Lydia’s Barcelona getaway initially sparked romance rumours as she teased a trip with a mystery guy.
Just weeks later, she was seen cuddled up to her man in a cute night at trendy Essex eatery Sheesh.
At the time, a source told us: “Lydia couldn’t keep her hands off Ben… and she certainly didn’t seem to mind that her ex was just a few feet away.
“They were passionately kissing right in front of where James was performing with The Arg Band, which didn’t go unnoticed by other guests at the event.
“Lydia and James have been close friends for years and are comfortable with the fact they have both moved on in life, although it can still be awkward to see your ex with someone new.
“It’s taken Lydia years to go public with a partner… it was clear from how affectionate they were together that their relationship is serious.”
Lydia and Arg split in 2016 after an explosive row on the beach, with their on-off relationship was well-documented on TOWIE.
They were an item between 2002 and 2012, then gave things a final chance between 2015 and 2016.
