A FORMER Miss UK has unveiled her new boyfriend - two years after she became Britain's richest divorcee in a £350million split.

Kirsty Bertarelli, 52, also won a £52m house in Switzerland as part of her divorce settlement with billionaire husband Ernesto Bertarelli in October 2021.

Now Staffordshire-born Kirsty has revealed her new boyfriend Marc at their joint birthday party in Sardinia.

The former Miss UK, who was behind All Saints' hit single Black Coffee, sang for her new partner at the event.

The couple are understood to have been together for some time - with Kirsty crooning: "You give me butterflies".

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Stepping forward in harmony - in the moment just you and me - taking in life’s beauty in perfect synchronicity.

"Sometimes the stars are aligned - you held my hand and made me shine.

"Sometimes in life you’re given a second chance. Don’t let go, just be strong.

"Love knows no bounds when it’s pure and sweet - stable as the ground beneath your feet. Thank you babe."

A guest at the party also described their relationship as "true romance", adding that there "wasn't a dry eye in the house" as she performed for him.

Kirsty showed glimpses of her mystery fella last August - less than a year after her split from hubby of 21 years Ernesto.

The couple had three kids together and separated in 2021 after agreeing to their divorce.

Now Kirsty has shared snaps on social media showing her new chiselled man on a Caribbean jaunt.

Selfies included her in a daring blue bikini cuddling up to her bearded grey-haired fella.

Another snap showed the couple arm in arm on a sandy beach in front of the azure coloured sea.

The star has been "blissfully happy" for months, despite being struck down with shingles last year.

Surrey-based Kirsty and ex-hubby Ernesto were jointly ranked 14th place in the Sunday Times Rich List, worth an estimated £9.2billion.

The former couple did not disclose the size of Mrs Bertarelli’s payout, but it was widely reported she accepted a cool £350m deal.

They met at a dinner party in Sardinia, before he would go on to buy her a £100m superyacht for her 40th birthday.

Kirsty, meanwhile, was awarded the Miss UK crown in 1988, and was second runner-up in that year's Miss World pageant.

The sum made her Britain’s richest divorcee in legal history - winning just short of the Queen’s estimated fortune of around £365m.

In addition to her settlement, Mrs Bertarelli was given a modern house by Lake Geneva in Switzerland, bought for a whopping £52m.

She also owns an £8million chalet in the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad.

The pin-up brunette, currently with blonde streaks in her hair, was represented by Baroness Fiona Shackleton, the lawyer who represented Prince Charles and Sir Paul McCartney in their divorces.
