Andrea Roche has reportedly gone public with her new romance - stepping out to Krystle nightclub in Dublin at the weekend with businessman Rob White on her arm.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Roche confirmed: "I've been out with Rob a couple of times in the past week," but she refused to be drawn further on the subject.
White is said to have become close to the model in recent weeks.
The Dubliner is a brother of actress Holly White (of Dan and Becs fame) and is from Killiney.
Friends say the pair have been "getting on famously".
"Rob and Andrea have been seen together on nights out and have become close," said a source. "Whether things will take off between them is anyone's guess."
About six months ago, Andrea's marriage to PJ Mansfield reportedly ended, but it was announced only a week ago.
"We split up amicably and we're still very good friends," she said.
The Sunday Indo reported at the weekend that it apparently became noticeable to these same friends last year that she wasn't wearing either her wedding ring or her engagement ring.
"For a while now, it hadn't been a matter of 'if' she would leave him but 'when'," a close friend told the paper.
"They both tried so hard to make it work, but before Christmas Andrea felt she couldn't continue on any more."
"It's been a tough couple of months for her since but I don't think we're that surprised," said another source.
"She had been talking quietly about how unhappy she was for some time."
