Hope it’s third time lucky for smitten Jodie...

SHE has two marriages behind her – but now The Diary can reveal ex-model Jodie Kidd is finally convinced she has found her Mr Right.

Mother-of-one Jodie, 39, confirmed she is in a relationship with hunky Joseph Bates, inset – a Royal Marine turned creative agency exec.

And she’s sure this will be her ‘third time lucky’ romance.

Jodie has told how her new beau was ‘wonderful and creative’.

And Jodie – who has previously talked about how Ireland is like a ‘home away from home’ for her as she has been visiting here since she was a child – also said Joseph is a vast improvement on Jodie’s ex-husband of four months former British Army captain and author David Blakeley. They divorced in 2015.

THE settled life is doing wonders for Jodie, who has become something of a homebird since buying a village pub in West Sussex. Despite spending much of the 1990s as a waiflike supermodel, Jodie has told how she’s a sucker for a hearty Indian meal. She joked: ‘I am considered a proper chef now.’
