A source told MailOnline: ‘Megan and Lloyd have been on a few dates together, they’re really enjoying each other’s company.
‘It’s very early days but there’s certainly a spark there. She’s never dated a footballer before and she’s loving watching him play.’
Former Liverpool apprentice Lloyd is also a model, having signed with IMG Models, and his childhood hero is David Beckham.
While on the books at Liverpool, Plymouth-born Lloyd had loan spells with clubs including Cheltenham Town, Accrington Stanley, Blackpool and Swindon Town, before joining Northampton Town on a permanent basis in 2018.

He then left for Cambridge United at the start of the 2021 season, becoming a first team regular with the League One side.
During his loan spell with Swindon he appeared in court for punching a man in Cheltenham nightclub and was given a 12-month community order with a requirement to do 80 hours of unpaid work after being found guilty of affray.
Megan split from clothing brand owner Josh due to the pair’s work commitments, as the former TOWIE star’s music career was beginning to take off in a big way.
She performed at Glastonbury in June and also spent time in America auditioning for movie roles.

Speaking to MailOnline in November, Megan admitted she only likes to talk about her relationships in her music, having previously seen her romances heavily documented on Towie.
Megan said: ‘I learned the hard way. Having more of a private life is a happy life. I feel like when you’re pushing things out a lot you are inviting people to comment. I like to keep things back, but I do write a lot about it in my songs.
‘I have written a few love songs, which is very, very, rare for me because usually it’s about heartbreak.’
Megan has previously dated TOWIE’s Pete Wicks and reality personality Jordan Davies.
