Moving On

Now, Lisa is happily dating Pete Harris. The pair regularly give fans a glimpse of their relationship on Instagram. However, they actively avoid appearing in the press and keep a very low profile.

From the pictures, it appears that Pete may have a child from a previous relationship. The cute family pics hint that they are very much in love.

"If you’ve been asking for a sign... #alwayschooselove," wrote Lisa in the caption.

It looks like this time the star has found true love and the pair appear to be more and more in love as time goes on.
