At the time, the couple shared that they had committed to the ad: ‘#fruitcake❤️ said yes!’

The couple went public with their relationship in 2018 after he split from girlfriend Alex Spendolini two years earlier.

Fred shares two children, Andrea, 18, and Lucien, 15, with Alex, whom he never married.

Speaking of his current partner, Fred told Fabulous magazine: “Once in a while, I go for some wine and some tapas after work with my partner, who I like to call ‘fruitcake’.

‘It’s nice to have a relaxing conversation and relax when you’ve had a long day. If I get the chance to be in the kitchen, I love to make fresh pasta. I find it very therapeutic to spread it out and I get flour everywhere; It is fun.

“I like nothing more at night than sitting down with a beer and watching something on Netflix.”

Fred keeps his love life largely a secret, only occasionally sharing photos of himself and his lady love on social media during romantic getaways.
