Chris is believed to be in his 40s and an online biography of the model explains that he has “over 20 years of print, advertising and film work with some of the world’s best brands” under his belt.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Chris Dingwall for comment.
The Spice Girl, 50, who was previously photographed walking dogs with her partner earlier this month, went public with their romance at the festival.
Mel cut a great figure in an open beige shirt which she teamed with a pair of matching shorts.
The singer showed off her toned midriff in a khaki bralette underneath the number and kept comfortable in a pair of white sneakers.
Getting into the spirit of the festival, Sporty Spice sported a sleek black crossbody bag and donned a pair of white-framed sunglasses.

Meanwhile, her handsome partner opted for a simple black T-shirt tucked into matching linen pants.
She added a pop of color to the ensemble with pink sneakers and a pair of stylish dark sunglasses.
The couple looked happier than ever as they held hands and carried drinks in each other’s hands as they toured the iconic Worthy Farm.
MailOnline has contacted Mel C’s representatives for comment at the time.
Mel was spotted earlier this month with the mystery man while out and about in London.
Signed to Ford Models and Chadwick, the 185cm tall hunk from Sydney, NSW, travels the world for glamorous photo shoots.
An online biography explains that Chris has “over 20 years of print, commercial and film work with some of the world’s best brands” under his belt and is believed to be in his 40s.
The singer was very affectionate with her male companion, who at one point put his arm around her while they were walking the dog.
They stopped for a takeaway coffee and then continued their walk with Mel’s dog.
The duo appeared in high spirits as they laughed and chatted while drinking their coffee.
Mel, who had a fling with Robbie Williams around 1997, keeps her love life largely out of the spotlight but has previously spoken out about how she was banned from dating in the early days of the Spice Girls while her bandmates were free to have romances.
“Looking back, what struck me was that it was one rule for some and another for others, right?” he said.
“I think when you’re vulnerable too, people say, I don’t think it’s good for you.”
He is also an actor, writer and director of film and television, having directed two episodes of the Australian miniseries Brock and has several upcoming film projects in post-production.
The couple looked happier than ever as they held hands while carrying drinks in the other as they toured the iconic Worthy Farm.
Mel said the rule for the other women was: “she’s fine, she can have a boyfriend, she can deal with having a boyfriend, she’s strong enough, but you’re not.”
“It makes you question yourself when you’re already vulnerable,” Mel added.
Mel revealed that she joined dating app Hinge after splitting from her ex-producer boyfriend Joe Marshall in 2022.
The star ditched celebrity dating apps like Raya to opt to sign up to the more humble Hinge.
Mel was previously in a seven-year relationship with Joe, but the former couple called it quits in the summer of 2022.
Speaking on the Not My Bagg with Joe & George Baggs podcast, Mel revealed that although she joined, she wasn’t having much luck.
She told the hosts: ‘What’s up with Hinge? I’m single and taking a look around, there are few options.
“It seems like there are a lot of pretty girls, but all the pretty boys are gay.”
Mel started dating Joe in 2015, and the couple even lived together in north London.
After the split, it was claimed that the star was “not afraid to be single” as their busy schedules got in the way of their romance.
