Ferne, who was clad in a grey ribbed minidress, wrapped her arms around Jack as they posed for a photo. 

She captioned the shot: ‘Been too long babe’.   

The photo was taken just months after Ferne split from her TOWIE boyfriend Charlie Sims for good, after years of on-off dating.

And it seems the unlucky-in-love reality star has finally met her match with Jack, whom she met in Marbella in 2015 and previously referred to as an ‘old flame’.  

In one photo Ferne shared, the former TOWIE star dazzled in a stunning backless gold dress as she lovingly gazed at her boyfriend, while in another was from the couple’s recent safari trip.  

The duo also showed off their playful sides as they posed in another snap holding out wine glasses, with Ferne flaunting her pert posterior in a semi-sheer trouser set.

She captioned her gushing post: ‘Thank you for being the reason I smile’.  

Jack also returned the affections as he took to Instagram Stories, penning: ‘It’s official! Thank you for showing me what happy is…’

Ferne’s reality star pals were quick to congratulate her on the new romance, flooding the comments with love hearts and kind words.

Leading the well wishes was TOWIE’s James Argent, who wrote: ‘This makes me smiles, you deserve this’. 

It comes after Ferne revealed on Wednesday that she and Jack are living together amid lockdown.

Detailing her new experience, she explained: ‘It is strange and wonderful and new all at the same time, so yeah, I am happy.’  

Ferne has been single since May when she and New York-based boyfriend Albie Gibbs went their separate ways. 

The former TOWIE star split from Sunday’s father Arthur Collins, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for GBH and ABH, during her pregnancy. 

Speaking on FUBAR Radio’s Access All Areas recently, Ferne admitted she and Jack have known each other for years and reconnected during lockdown.  

Chatting to hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng, she said: ‘I’m happy and it’s very early days, although I’ve known him for years. 

‘I actually met him five years ago. In Marbs, would you believe it Bob. Of course, but yeah, it’s early days and I’ll just see where it goes.’
