Denise Van Outen admits she took up golf to meet ‘loads of men’ in a hilarious confession after enjoying Maldives trip with new love interest

BBG News

In a humorous revelation shared on Saturday, Denise Van Outen openly admitted that her interest in golf was primarily to socialize with many new people, particularly men.

50-year-old television host openly shared her strategies for discovering romance, having just returned from a vacation in the Maldives with a new companion.

Denise detailed her switch to sports instead of using dating apps, a move she made post-divorce with Lee Mead in 2013, as she observed many of her male companions adopting the same hobby.

Since she started playing golf back in early 2014, she’s been quite passionate about it. Recently, she disclosed the real reasons behind her choice to take up the sport.

According to The Mirror, the motivation behind my involvement stemmed directly from my divorce experience. To be frank, I sought a new environment filled predominantly with male companions.

Denise went on saying, “I found myself wondering, ‘What’s the next destination?’ As a younger person, my choice was always a nightclub.

I said to myself, “I can’t manage that right now, and I don’t feel like spending the whole night at the club.” I found myself wondering, “Where have all the club-goers gone?” Then I looked around, and most of my male friends have grown older and taken up golf. I thought to myself, “Just what I needed!

It’s rumored that Denise has been quietly seeing a new guy, who apparently accompanied her on a romantic trip to the Maldives in April.

After parting ways with Jimmy, it is said that the DJ and TV personality had a series of outings with a man named Adam Butler, who happens to be a businessman.

Reports from The Sun suggest that he met up with her during his business trip in the Maldives, as they were seen together on a romantic outing at Akira Black in London.

A friend shared that Denise enjoys her independence, has been swamped with television projects and DJ duties, yet she appreciates spending time with Adam.

‘They went public last month on a date at Akira Black in the Mandarin Oriental in London.

In my perspective, I’m thriving in my journey, with my professional growth reaching new heights. Coincidentally, Adam is also a prosperous entrepreneur. Our successes seem to resonate harmoniously, creating a perfect balance that complements us wonderfully.

As a lifestyle expert, I can tell you from personal experience that it brings immense joy when one’s friends are delighted to see you with someone who truly cherishes and values you. In this case, Denise’s companions are overjoyed because Adam, in their eyes, treats her like the royalty she is.

TopMob have contacted Denise’s representatives for comment.

After sharing my own dating challenges following my separation from Jimmy, I’ve found myself amidst a flourishing new romance, as recent speculations suggest.

Since parting ways with Jimmy Barba in October 2023, she has remained unattached. Last year, she signed up for the exclusive dating platform Raya in search of a new romantic connection.

However, she acknowledged her dependence on dating apps for meeting men, as it’s become more challenging to find prospective partners since her move to the countryside.

In a recent conversation, I confess that if not for the dating app Raya, my romantic life would be quite sparse. Finding suitable companions in the real world, particularly here in rural Kent, can be quite challenging.

She shared with The Sun, “In truth, dating apps are quite beneficial for me. Frankly, I’m not sure how I’d connect with others if not through using them.

In my younger days, I could easily head out to socialize, but now living in a rural area, it’s no longer an option for me to just pop by the local tavern.

Regardless, since my local pub is filled with neighbors I already know, it doesn’t offer anything new or valuable for me.

She mentioned that her opportunities for encountering prospective partners offline are limited to the internet, and casually dropped that she’s even crossed paths with some famous admirers on the elite dating platform, Raya.

I’m continuing to use the Raya dating app, and I’ve been out on several dates with various individuals. It’s quite fascinating as I’ve even crossed paths with some well-known personalities [on Raya]. However, it’s against the rules to disclose who exactly is a member.” She playfully hinted.

In a casual and straightforward manner, the previous host of Big Breakfast mentioned that although the app is quite enjoyable, she frequently feels uncomfortable because she gets matched with one of her friends.

She mentioned that she wasn’t very active on Raya during the winter season, but as summer is just around the corner, she intends to be more active. In other words, keep an eye on her profile because things are about to change!

Speaking about herself, the performer mentioned that being a single mom to her 14-year-old daughter, Betsy (with her former husband Lee Mead), often makes socializing more challenging since she typically cannot go out in the evenings.

Even while she’s DJing, Denise mentioned that she frequently leaves and re-enters the venue and doesn’t spend much time there, which reduces the likelihood of starting a romantic connection with someone within it.

It appears that she seems eager to start dating once more, as she mentioned last year she didn’t care much for relationships.

She’s been out on several dates, but she mentioned that she’s not rushing to find a new companion as she’s quite happy being alone for now.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she mentioned her breakup with Eddie Boxshall, whom she parted ways with in January 2022 due to his infidelity. She expressed indifference about the matter now by saying, “I don’t really care one way or another.

I have a close bond with Tamzin Outhwaite, and we recently discussed the joy of simply embracing life without the pressure to be in a relationship or have a partner. Over time, I’ve grown accustomed to and content with being alone.

Working in this field can often feel overwhelming, and when mistakes occur, they become highly visible. This leads to concerns about being perceived as unsuccessful by others.

I often ponder if others might comment, ‘She can’t maintain relationships, as history seems to repeat itself,’ but I’m not pursuing that topic at the moment.

She mentioned that her bond with Eddie ended prematurely due to his actions, acknowledging that it was the unfortunate aspect of their split.

Denise admitted she found herself back at the starting point, yet remained optimistic and open-hearted.

Following her heart-wrenching breakup with Eddie, Denise experienced a new chapter of love with Jimmy Barba in July 2022. However, their romance didn’t last long as they parted ways 18 months into their relationship.
