Gloucester star Danny Cipriani may have finally found love after falling for a mental health campaigner following his own positive #BeKind movement.
Victoria, who is good friends with Kerry Katona, is currently hard at work supporting the 'It's OK' campaign, which aims to get people talking about their mental health more openly.
The rugby star began dating the stunning brunnette in May after meeting her through friends.
And now the duo, who've become inseparable during the lockdown, have both declared their love for each other on their Instagram stories.
Cipriani also posted a photo with his new girlfriend on a walk in the woods, and wrote: “I love you Victoria.”
“You can into my life when I was a broken man and you helped raise me up and I feel stronger than ever.”
A source revealed to The Mirror last month that: "Danny has really got a spring in his step and it's down to Victoria. She has put the smile back on his face
"It's still early days but they are enjoying spending time together under lockdown."
The England international revealed on Instagram he considered killing himself aged 22, in a video released in the wake of ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack’s death back in February.
Cipriani himself then sought out Premiership Rugby chiefs and requested that black armbands be worn in honour of Flack.
The club and Cipriani then continued the #BeKind movement by having the words printed on the back of all players shirts.

Other famous romances include Lindsay Lohan, one of the Cheeky Girls and briefly the late Love Island host Caroline Flack.
Basically the more you google, the more girls names come up, ha-ha.
Price wrote: "In my experience he was a bit – erm – lean in the most obvious departments.
"That’s why I nicknamed him Danny Chipolata. He can no longer hit the right spots on the rugby field and he certainly can’t find them on a woman."

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
