In love: his 6ft body towers over her little flame – she is 6ft tall
The couple live in a £2.4million mansion once owned by former US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Stephen and Mircea, who have been together since 2018, met at an awards ceremony six years ago, but Stephen previously revealed he had had trouble finding a girlfriend due to his height.
He told Alan Carr: ‘When they’re down there and I’m here, it’s a bit tricky.
But in 2019, Stephen admitted that it was great not to have to worry about “filling” such a void in life after meeting the St. Louis native.
He said: ‘Apart from the fact that she’s amazing… there’s something really nice about not having to worry endlessly about filling that part of your life.
“That’s a very lonely life, the life of one person.”
Stephen has now officially outperformed the legendary comedians as he rocketed past their staggering fortunes, according to The sun – topping Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay.
He now owns a fortune of a whopping £26.6million, thanks to his recent TV stint in BBC comedy-drama The Outlaws.

Observe: He started waiting in the footsteps of Ricky and played the role of Nathan Oggy in the popular comedy
Ricky has a whopping £24.4million, while Peter has a hefty £22.6million to his name.
According to new paperwork, it was revealed that Stephen owns a number of TV production companies, with his main company, SJJM Ltd, owning £25,146,362 in assets alone.
While some prefer fame over fortune, Stephen recently admitted he would like to turn back the clock and become an unknown again.
He said: ‘The unique thing about The Office was that no one knew who we were, so there were no expectations.
‘You don’t think about the newspapers or the public. You just think, ‘This is fun, let’s make it.’ It’s hard to go back to that moment.’
“I think the size of his bank balance will soften the blow sooner.”
