Stephanie Pratt beams with happiness as she spends time with her new boyfriend after Joey Essex split

The pair stood outside Japanese restaurant Umu on Wednesday night smoking and chatting and at one point she threw her head back and laughed at one of his jokes.

And according to onlookers, the pair were making plans for a second date tonight, so it would seem that all had gone well.

Stephanie, 30, recently dated Joey Essex after they met on the E4 dating show Celebs Go Dating.

The premise of the show was celebs dating members of the public, but the reality stars soon discovered they had feelings for each other.

But as the Sun exclusively revealed last week, Joey, 25, called time on their three-month romance because she kept demanding they socialised in Chelsea.

A source said: “Joey wasn’t up for spending every minute in Chelsea with Stephanie.

“He genuinely fell for her and even though they were an unlikely couple, he hoped it could turn into something more serious.

“But he realised it was never going to work with him spending so much time away from home.”

Nick, 41, was engaged to Modern Family star Sophie Vergara but they split in May 2014.

He has had various legal battles with her over frozen embryos created when they were together.

Vergara's lawyers argued if someone uses genetic material from another person without consent, it's a criminal offence, but the judge rejected the argument and allowed Loeb's team to move forward with a civil case.

They are still waiting for a court date to be set.
