She enjoyed a summer of partying on the island of Ibiza, but it seems that Michaella McCollum has well and truly settled back into life in Belfast, and may have met a man.
McCollum, 24, was seen heading out for dinner with a mystery man on Sunday evening in the city centre.
The former convict, who was jailed in 2013 for attempting to internationally smuggle drugs, put on a glamorous display as she headed to Bootleggers restaurant with her date.

She showcased her honed physique in a black off-the-shoulder bodycon dress as she made her way along the cobbled streets to the burger restaurant.
The former model, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, kept her accessories to a minimum pairing her elegant ensemble with a pair of nude court shoes and a tan coloured bag from YSL.
She kept out the December chill with nude checked shawl which she draped around her shoulders on the way to the restaurant.

It is not yet known who the mystery man is but it is believed to be the first time the pair have been seen together
McCollum and her date, who was dressed in grey stone-wash jeans and a black wool coat, took a window seat in Bootleggers in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter.
The pair appeared to be getting along famously, seen laughing and joking as they enjoyed their meal.
It seems that McCollum is well settled back into her Belfast home following her summer of jet-setting and has even returned to college.
On Thursday she was spotted arriving at Millfield College in the city where she is studying Humanities & Social Science.

Over the last few months, Michaella has been spotted living it up in party centres Ibiza and Marbella enjoying sun, sea and cocktails.
How the former drugs smuggler has funded her holidays is unclear, but she has been linked to a number of potentially lucrative opportunities and was recently spotted outside HMP Liverpool where her agent said she was filming a prison documentary.
She was also spotted heading to a morning of meetings at the BBC back in September. Representatives for McCollum told the MailOnline that McCollum had visited the studios today for 'meetings about upcoming projects'.
It has been reported that she has been offered a £250,000 tell all book deal detailing her criminal exploits and time behind bars in Lima.
Her jet-setting lifestyle is a stark contrast to former accomplice Melissa Reid, who has landed a charity job at Citizens Advice.
The jet-setter, who was jailed in Peru alongside Melissa Reid (right) in 2013 for trying to smuggle £1.5million's worth of cocaine into Europe, has since enjoyed a string of holidays R
Reid applied for a job at the charity after she was released from the South American jail last June.
McCollum, by contrast, has been accused of capitalising on her notoriety, and in May it emerged she has signed with a talent agency.
The two were sentenced to spend six years and eight months inside a grim jail in Lima, after they were caught trying to smuggle the huge quantity of cocaine.
The ex-convict was released on parole last March after serving less than half of her sentence but initially had to stay in Peru, where she carried out voluntary work until August when she flew back to Belfast.
