Strictly star Saffron Barker goes Instagram official with new rugby player boyfriend as they snog in romantic snap
SAFFRON Barker has gone Instagram official with her new boyfriend – rugby ace Louis Rees-Zammit.
The Strictly star, 23, made her first public outing with the Welsh star last week at the Hunger Games premiere, before sharing a picture of them kissing.
Saffron, who has 1.8 million followers, simply captioned her post with a heart emoji – and her famous pals rushed to comment on it.
Tallia Storm wrote: “So happy for you Saff.”
Amy Dowden commented: “Happy for you saf”, while Abbie Quinnen added: “Adorable”.
Louis, 22, is a huge star in Welsh rugby and recently appeared in a documentary about his life for BBC Wales.
He is known for being a heartthrob with a jetset lifestyle.
Before meeting Brighton born Saffron, Louis dated the daughter of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, Alicia.
Louis’ fame skyrocketed after a late try in a Six Nations win against Scotland in 2021.
He said at the time: “After the Scotland try I got 70,000 Instagram followers overnight.”
Even his mum was inundated with Instagram follow requests from would-be suitors.
He added: “Being Louis Rees-Zammit is quite good at the minute.”
He has signed with Adidas and energy drink Savitar – while he also has a deal with BMW.
Saffron meanwhile has enjoyed her own success thanks to a huge YouTube career.
She is thought to be worth over £1million thanks for her many endorsements and TV work, including Channel 4’ Celebrity Circle.
Saffron previously dated Tyler Dixon, YouTuber Jake Mitchell and Luca Bish.
