MailOnline has contacted Arabella and Ruben’s representatives for comment.
Model and social influencer Arabella, who took part in the fifth season of Love Island in 2019, split from New York businessman Richie Akiva in September.
And Richie quickly moved on with a mystery woman just days after their split.
The model and boyfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, 45, were last pictured together at a party in New York on September 12 and split shortly after.
‘King of nightclubs’ Richie wasted no time in embracing his new single status as he packed on the PDA outside The Flower nightclub in Paris with a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Arabella on Tuesday night.
The couple wrapped their arms around each other in a very public display of affection.
It is unknown how long Arabella saw New York-born Richie or where they first met.
But this summer Arabella enjoyed the sun in Ibiza with Richie and his friends, including A-lister Leo.

Richie has been a fixture on the New York club scene since his teens, opening the legendary nightclub 10ak in 2007.
He is the CEO of the Butter Group, which owns other popular venues in the city including Up & Down and Butter.
Richie regularly meets celebrities and has previously hosted birthday parties for the likes of Rihanna and Naomi Campbell.
Meanwhile, Ruben was last linked to cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa. The pair were pictured kissing last summer but have not been seen together since.
Before that, he had an ugly breakup with singer April Ivy, who shortly after the breakup released a song called Broken Apologies, which appeared to be about the City star.
The couple started dating in late 2018 and went public on New Year’s Day 2019, but they split in September 2021 due to “lifestyle differences.”
Insiders told Portuguese magazine Flash! at the time Rúben’s desire for a more “discreet” life clashed with his former love’s “exuberance,” leading to their reported breakup and his removal of April from his social media channels.
