Strictly Come Dancing star HRVY is said to have found love again after splitting with soap star Maisie Smith, who he met on the show.
The 22-year-old singer, whose real name is Harvey Cantwell, is reportedly dating former Emmerdale actress Mimi Slinger.
Mimi, 18, played Leanna Cavanagh on the soap for three years until her character was recently murdered by evil Meena Jutla.
Pals told The Sun HRVY and Mimi are “head over heels” for each other after meeting at last month’s National Television Awards, where HRVY performed.
And it sounds like things are getting serious as they have already met each other’s friends and families, it is claimed.
A source said: “HRVY and Mimi are completely loved up. Things are pretty serious between them. They both know each other’s families and their friends have met.
“She [Mimi] is a model as well as an actress and wants to pursue a music career too – so they have a lot in common.
“They’re keeping their relationship off social media for the minute, but it won’t be long until they’re Instagram official.”
HRVY’s new romance comes months after he was linked with 20-year-old EastEnders actress Maisie Smith, who he met on the set of Strictly last year.
The pair were said to have locked lips at the Strictly wrap party after weeks of behind-the-scenes flirting.
Though they never officially confirmed they were an item, the two were linked throughout the dancing competition and fans were rooting for them to get together.
At the time HRVY called Maisie “lovely and beautiful” but appeared to hint that Covid restrictions had got in the way of their budding romance.
He said: “Not a lot can happen between us because we have to be two metres apart, but I am excited to see how things blossom.”
Maisie was clearly on the same page, saying: “He is a beautiful looking guy.
“I don’t know what would happen in the future, but for now we are getting along really well as friends.”
A few days after their kiss, the UK went into a third lockdown which ended up being a “total passion killer”.
The pair reportedly decided to call it quits in March this year after just a few months of dating.
Shortly after that The Sun reported HRVY had joined celebrity dating app Raya after his connection with Maisie “fizzled out”.
Now pals think his new romance with Mimi could go the distance because they have a “real connection”.
Before his new love was revealed to be Mimi, HRVY hinted he had met someone.
He told Abbie McCarthy on the Celebrity Search Engine podcast: “Recently I met someone on the red carpet at the NTAs actually.
“She was standing in front of me and I was like ‘wow, she’s very, very beautiful.’
“I ended up getting her number and we’ve been on a few dates.”
