Chelsea footballer Ross Barkley was seen for the first time with his stunning new girlfriend Katherine Pilkington on Monday.
The midfielder, 28, and the account executive enjoyed a romantic trip to the Saatchi Gallery in London's Sloane Square for Valentine's Day.
The pair both donned casual ensembles, with Katherine wearing a padded black jacket with a white hoodie while Ross wore a dark coat and jeans.
Katherine is an account executive for the The Social PR and works alongside soap star Scott Thomas on events and counts Love Island's Ellie Brown as one of her best friends.
The pair have recently come back from a trip to New York together where they shared images at the same tourist attractions.
Not much is known about Ross' previous love life but in 2019 was seen on holiday with fashion designer Jordan McCabe, as per us
However, neither Barkley or McCabe ever said whether they were in a relationship or not.
The footballer previously dated nursery school worker Zoe Riozzi. Like Barkley, she also comes from Liverpool and they were together while he was at Everton.
In 2015, a friend told the Sunday People: 'Their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength and they go away a lot on holidays to spend time together.
'They have normal life way from football which probably helps keep him grounded.'
It comes after last month it was reported that Ross could make a sensational return to Goodison Park next month with Everton interested in the Chelsea star.
Barkley left Merseyside for west London four years ago for £15million, but injuries and a lack of game time has hampered the England international's progress with the Blues.
Barkley is among a number of January loan targets for Toffees boss Rafa Benitez, who is desperate to bolster his injury-ravaged squad for the latter half of the campaign.
Everton are in the midst of an injury crisis with the likes of Richarlison, Andros Townsend, Yerry Mina and Tom Davies all sidelined, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is nearing a return.
A move for Barkley may be possible if Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel deems that he has enough players at his disposal to handle his side's busy fixture schedule.
Barkley was loaned to Aston Villa last season and impressed alongside Jack Grealish.
And a return to Everton will certainly raise eyebrows with the 28-year-old one of the club's greatest academy products in recent years.
He has started only one Premier League game this season - at Turf Moor for Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Burnley.
