It is Charlie’s first public romance following her split from her boyfriend of six years, Ben Hollington, in 2018.
Charlie shares her daughter Kiki, 20, with former Ibiza club owner and still close friend Tony Truman, from whom she split in 2007.
Charlie met his ex-partner when she was just 21 years old thanks to former co-star Dean Gaffney.
The actress ended her relationship with Tony in 2006, but the couple continued living under the same roof for more than six months after their separation.
Speaking about the decision to continue living together in 2007, he told Sunday magazine: “We knew our friendship would continue because that’s how our relationship began.”
“People ask if it’s weird to still be living together, but we’re moving on for Kiki’s sake.”
