David Beckham's close friend Dave Gardner, 47, is reportedly in a relationship with Victoria's Secret model Jessica Clarke, 29. The pair were first seen together during the summer and are said to be taking things slowly.

Gardner was previously engaged to actress Liv Tyler, with whom he shares two children, Sailor, seven, and Lula, six. He also has a son, Grey, 15, from his marriage to Davinia Taylor. The relationship with Tyler ended last year after seven years together.

A source told MailOnline: 'Their relationship's at a very early stage. They're just having fun and taking things slowly, but things are going well.' The source added that Gardner's children remain his priority, and he is not rushing to introduce a new partner into their lives.
