Ferne McCann and her boyfriend Lorrie Haines looked the picture of love and happy families as they took a stroll with their kids together earlier this week.
And we can reveal that sources close to the pair believe it's being parents to young children that has helped formed such a close relationship so quickly.
“Ferne and Lorri took the kids out together recently," they said. "They have bonded over being parents”.
The foursome headed for lunch at the Lot Bar and Restaurant in Shenfield, Essex, with Ferne, 31, holding her daughter Sunday's hand and estate agent Lorri, 30, also clutching onto the hand of his blonde-haired son, who is from a previous relationship.
Ferne, who shares Sunday, four, with her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, who is currently in jail for carrying out an acid attack, opted for a casual look, wearing grey jogging bottoms and a denim jacket over a white T-shirt.
She completed her look with a pair of oversized sunglasses and brown Ugg boots, while she also wore a necklace featuring her daughter’s ‘S’ initial on a gold chain.
Former TOWIE star Ferne, who also stars in her own ITVBe show First Time Mum, and businessman Lorri, who is based in Dubai, confirmed their romance in January,
The duo appeared to hit a rough patch last month when a source told us Ferne was left “devastated” after a video emerged showingLorri with a “suspicious white powder” while partying with friends in Dubai .
The source said: “Ferne was understandably devastated and really shook by the news.
“Even though Lorri says it’s just a joke, she has a zero tolerance for those types of jokes.”
A pal of the businessman said: “He’s beyond gutted about the situation. He’s a decent, hard-working guy who devotes himself to his work and family.
"He will absolutely hate that this has caused so much upset for Ferne. He adores her.”
But just weeks later the mum-of-one was taking to Instagram to gush about her other half.

“That missing piece. My soul mate I love you,” she wrote.

Her daughter Sunday also appeared to join them on the trip, which saw them enjoy dinners on the beach, boat trips and floating breakfasts in their pool.
