According to the website, the couple have known each other for ten years, but it is only recently that their friendship has turned into a romance. 

'We used to hang out in the same circle and just connected over the summer,' she said. 'It's been really hard over the last few years to find someone who really appreciates what I do, and also still has his own business, his own life.

'It's been a match made in heaven. It's changed me. I've been a lot happier as a person.'

Torregiani is a restaurant and nightclub owner and was on hand to watch his girlfriend strut her stuff on the dancefloor on Monday with partner Antonio Sabato Jr.
