However, the English model has not personally confirmed or denied her relationship with her alleged new beau. But, it's also a fact that she is willing to be in a relationship & have a family.

In an interview with MailOnline in early 2021, Ferne told that she was feeling broody to welcome kids- a sibling to her 3-year-old daughter Sunday. She told:

"100% I would love to have more kids, I really want to grow my family. I am very happy and content at the moment, but the other day I started to feel broody. I saw a pregnant woman in the supermarket and it set me off!

I started to get that feeling again, honestly, I would love to be pregnant, I love that cosy feeling of growing a baby inside you."

Furthermore, the Brentwood, Essex-born admitted that she is open to love after her split with then-boyfriend Albie Gibbs during the COVID-19 lockdown. The reality star, who was not shy to share about being ready to date again, told:

"I'm open to love and I can't wait to meet the one, have kids, get married and run off into the sunset! But there wasn't much dating going on for me last year because of the pandemic."

While sharp-eyed fans & online outlets have already set Ferne and Jack as a couple, an official stamp is yet to arrive.
