Poor Bea! Look who’s dating your ex
IT’S the worst feeling in the world for any woman… catching a first glimpse of your ex’s new girlfriend. So Princess Beatrice, look away now!
I can reveal that Dave Clark’s new love is New York advertising executive Lynn Anderson. And if Bea, 28, was hoping her rival was an ogre covered in warts, I’m afraid she’s going to be sorely disappointed. Instead, Lynn is a stunning leggy model-type with flowing blonde locks and an enviable washboard stomach.
Bea and Dave, 32, who were together for ten years, split up after he refused to marry her when she issued an ultimatum over the summer. Since then, Prince Andrew’s eldest daughter has been trying to take her mind off the rejection by working with chums on a new app, focusing on her charity commitments, and even taking part in a triathlon in Italy. Last week Dave flaunted his new relationship by treating Lynn to dinner at the Chiltern Firehouse, perhaps London’s least lowkey restaurant.
The pair met in the US, where Dave is an executive for cab app Uber. Until recently, Virginiaborn Lynn, 31, was director of partnerships and portfolio products at NBC Universal in New York. She joined the media conglomerate in 2007 after graduating with a degree in finance.
Lynn, who lives in the trendy Tribeca district of Manhattan, is also on the committee for Matt’s Promise, a charity which raises money for those with terminal illnesses. Says my source: ‘Dave is smitten. Lynn isn’t working at the moment, so is spending 100 per cent of her time with him.’
Dave and Beatrice never ruled out a reconciliation when they split in July, but Lynn’s presence would seem to have ruined any chances of that.
