Supermodel Lara finds love after Little Brit David
WHEN supermodel Lara Stone split from her comedian husband David Walliams in 2015, she was blamed in court for their divorce due to her ‘unreasonable behaviour’.
Now the 36-year-old Dutch beauty is ready to give marital life another chance after becoming engaged to handsome property developer David Grievson.
The couple confirmed the news at the Gymkhana VIP dinner in Mayfair, where the Vogue cover star arrived brandishing a dazzling diamond ring on her wedding finger.
‘They are engaged,’ confirms her spokesman.
A friend of the model tells me: ‘She is very happy with David. And she loves that he’s not in the public eye like her ex was.
‘She didn’t enjoy that aspect of their relationship.’
Despite men falling at her feet, Lara met 37- year- old Grievson on the popular dating app, Tinder. They have been in a relationship since 2018.
he became her first serious boyfriend after her split from Walliams, 48, the father of her six-year-old son, Alfie.
She and Walliams started dating in 2009 and announced their engagement just four months later.
At their wedding at Claridge’s in London, guests included Walliams’ Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas, Denise Van Outen, Richard and Judy, Sir elton John, Stephen Fry and Tom Ford.
Reflecting on their split, Lara said: ‘ Sometimes really different people work together — but maybe not for ever.’
At the time, she said he made her laugh and could be mean ‘in a good way’.
She admitted that she was never comfortable with the level of fame brought by being romantically involved with Walliams, who is a best-selling children’s author as well as being a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
She recalled one night: ‘I’d been at his house and was walking back to the Tube and this car was driving next to me and they were taking pictures the whole time.
‘It was just so bewildering and terrifying.’
