Before he and Lottie started dating, Lewis Burton was linked to Caroline Flack.
The pair had been dating up to her untimely death in February 2020, when the 40-year-old presenter was found dead in her North London home.
Caroline's devastating passing came following allegations that she had assaulted Lewis in her apartment.
Although Lewis confirmed that he did not wish to press charges at the time, Caroline was due to appear in court in relation to the alleged assault.
Paying tribute to her one month after her tragic passing, Lewis had said in an Instagram post: "It's already been a month I love and miss you so much, I never thought that one day I will never be able to see or speak to you again.
"I wake up and think you're going to be laying next to me or you're going to call me in a minute. It just doesn't seem real. I wish I could give you a kiss and a cuddle and say everything is going to be ok.
"I am so grateful I met you I just want to make you proud. X"
It is understood that Lewis got to know Lottie through one of Caroline Flack's close friends at a party that had been held to mark three months since her passing.
For some time, the couple kept their relationship under wraps to avoid negative press, but were eventually targeted by trolls when they eventually confirmed their romance.
In an interview with PrettyLittleThing back in December 2020, Lottie teased that she "definitely" wanted children with Lewis.
She said at the time: "Yes, I definitely want kids, I want five!"
