It’s been reported that Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli and model Matt Law ARE in a secret relationship, despite both of them trying to play it down.
Of course, early days in any relationship are a time when you don’t want to come on too strong for fear of looking like a bit of a weirdo.
So neither Bruno or Matt have publicly admitted to being in a relationship with each other yet – but a pal has done it for them.
A close friend of 29-year-old Matt told the Sun: “Bruno is very happy. He hasn’t had anyone special in his life for ten years and Matt has put the smile back on his face.
“Right now they’re just having a lot of fun and not thinking about the future because there’s a huge age difference.

“But Matt and him don’t stop laughing – they get on so well. Everyone is really happy for them.”
“For Bruno it was lust at first sight but there’s a lot of hope it could develop into something more serious.
“Matt was dating someone else but he’s become single quite recently, allowing things to develop.”
The friend added: “He’s been staying at Bruno’s LA apartment and was waiting for Bruno as soon as he got off the plane on Monday night.
“He’s planning to go and watch him judge on Dancing With The Stars as well, which is a sign that Bruno is introducing him to people close to him.”
29-year-old underwear model Mat spent last weekend at Bruno’s apartment in Los Angeles, waiting for him to return from judging the weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing.
On Monday Bruno took Matt to swanky Hollywood eatery Catch, where they put on a flirty display.

The pair first met in the summer in Mykonos, Greece, and have been spending time together ever since – although it’s had to be off and on, as Bruno has work commitments in the US and the UK.
And last month, Bruno missed his first show on Strictly for 13 years after staying in LA to catch up on work commitments – and, rumour has it, spend more time with Matt.
