Arabella started dating Portuguese defender Man City Ruben Dias last September, spending considerable time in Manchester where he is based.
The duo had dated under the radar for months before social media sleuths spotted them sharing similar posts from the Eiffel Tower last November.
At the time, a source told The Sun: “They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurants. He also showered her with gifts."

The model then entered the All Stars villa in South Africa in January 2024 but once again true love eluded.
First she was brutally dumped by Chris Taylor who admitted to getting the ‘ick’ after another man entered the villa who had history with Arabella.
She was then seen in tears after Chris then made a beeline for Sophie Piper.
Then she’d admitted to unfinished business with Toby Aromolaran, 24.
She said at the time: “We hooked up in the summer. There is a little bit of unfinished business there.”
However Toby’s disinterest the second time around left Arabella in tears once again and she left the All Stars villa single.

One of the model’s more meaningful relationships was with former Love Island star turned musician Wes Nelson who appeared in the 2018 series.
The pair were seen out and about together in 2019 and after confirming their relationship moved in together in the August of that year, spending lockdown together.
In April 2020 they announced that they had split, blaming partly the age gap, as Wes is four years younger, but also his commitment to his music career.
Adam Enough

After a rocky road on ITV2's Love Island All Stars, Arabella eventually got together with Adam Maxted who entered as a bombshell.
But five weeks after leaving the villa the pair split, with Adam saying that a relationship, “wasn’t a priority.” Speaking about her connection with Adam, Arabella had said: “At times I thought in the villa, 'How am I being as unlucky in love in here as outside?'
"But when Adam walked through the door finally my luck changed. I am now lucky in love!” I was instantly attracted to Adam, we couldn’t stop staring at each other." Since their split, Adam was rumoured to have struck up a romance with Liberty Poole, 24.

Ahead of her stint in All stars, Arabella underscored that her main ambition was to find love and start a family.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to hang out in Hollywood circles but I have still not found love. I’ve never felt more ready to settle down. “All I’ve ever wanted is true love and that fairytale dream. I’m 32, I want to get married and have babies. I haven’t got lots of time left and I know more about myself now than ever."
Now it seems that less than a year later, her prayers have been answered.
The model met cool, calm and collected millionaire Billy Henty after they were spotted on a date together in August of this year.
The relationship has quickly become serious now that Arabella is expecting.

WHO IS ARABELLA CHI?
A model-turned influencer, Arabella shot to fame after starring on the fifth series of Love Island in 2019.
Even before she came to fame, the Ibiza-based star seemed accustomed to the celebrity lifestyle, having worked successfully as an influencer and model.
In her VT for the ITV2 All Stars earlier this year, she gave viewers an insight into her gilded life, she said: "I've been fortunate to hand out in Hollywood circles but I've still not found love."
As well as having dated Man City ace Ruben Dias whom she met through friends, Arabella has also been linked to millionaire nightclub owner, Richie Akiva and has been invited to spend time aboard Oscar winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio's party yacht.
No doubt Arabella has been determined to land a millionaire of her own and now as she says in her own words, "Dreams do come true."
