Lydia shot to fame two years ago on Love Island.
Since then she has been keeping fans up-to-date with her life away from the villa.
In her recent Instagram post, she shared a slew of stunning photos from Italy.
She wrote next to them: "Turning 25 in Lake Como."
In the post there was a very short clip where Lydia had her back to the camera, and a mystery man could be seen stroking her back and shoulders - hinting at her new romance.
Meanwhile, Lydia's last known romance was with fellow 2023 Islander Ron.
The pair never coupled up on the show, but instead got together a year after.
They thrilled fans when they finally announced last November that they were an item following months of going on secret dates.
They were congratulated by a flood of co-stars beneath a sweet 'launch' photo taken on holiday in Las Vegas.
Following news of their split that photo has since been deleted, and Lydia was seen posting about being single on TikTok.
In January, as Ron was seen making his big entrance on Love Island All Stars, Lydia couldn't help taking a cheeky swipe.
It came when she shared a picture of herself dancing at a club and looking sexy.
She then poked fun at Ron for splitting up with her because they lived too far apart - as she hails from Scotland while he is an Essex native.
Writing across the snap, Lydia quipped: "When he said the distance was gonna be too long, but she didn't realise he meant South Africa [followed by laughing emojis]."
Their split came shortly before the new series of Love Island All Stars kicked off.
Ron returned to the villa for another chance at love, after originally falling for Lana Jenkins back in 2023, but ending up quitting the show.

Molly Mae and Tommy Fury are perhaps the biggest example of this - with the former recently being the subject of her own docu-series on Prime Video.

Paul Gascoigne's relationship with Love Island daughter Bianca as star rushed to hospital
Former football legend Paul Gascoigne, who shared three children with his ex Sheryl, was rushed to hospital after being found collapsed at home by a friend England icon Paul Gascoigne was rushed to hospital after he was found to have collapsed at home. The 58-year-old former footballer was admitted to intensive care in hospital but is now said to be in a stable condition and recovering. The ex- Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur star was found collapsed in his bedroom at his Poole house. And his pal who found him, Steve Foster, said: "He would like to thank everyone for the support he's received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best." And among those wanting to see him back to his best is his former Love Island star daughter, Bianca Gascoigne. While the 38-year-old reality TV star and model isn't said to be directly by his side, she is reportedly in close contact to keep informed about her star dad's condition. Bianca is one of three children Paul shares with his ex-wife Sheryl. Gazza adopted Bianca and her older brother Mason, who Sheryl welcomed with first husband Colin. Gazza adopted the pair after getting into a relationship with their mother. Gazza and Sheryl also share a biological son, Regan. In 2014, Bianca also thanked her fans for their support of her dad. At the time, he had been found drunk outside his home and taken to hospital. Fans were quick to send supportive messages to her on Twitter /X and she replied: "Thank you for your kind words." She is yet to respond to his current situation. In 2017, before Bianca entered the Celebrity Big Brother house she opened up about her relationship with her father and the fears she had. At the time, she was said to have told pals she's worried about getting a phone call during her time on the reality show. "I worry about Dad. We've become close over this last year," she told a friend, according to the Daily Star Sunday at the time. "My absolute worst fear is getting that call in the house that the worst has happened." Four years later and Bianca shared a rare snap alongside her dad as they enjoyed a family day out. "One for the books," she captioned the post which showed the duo laughing and smiling. "Moments like these I will cherish forever all the family back together." They were seen sticking their tongues out as they posed for the snap, before another showed her, Gazza and her brother Regan strolling through the town centre as they took advantage of the sunshine. "Yoda, he is," Bianca jokingly wrote in another as she placed a Yoda filter over the former sports star's face as he sang and danced while walking alongside his daughter. No further details have been confirmed about Paul's latest health scare. It comes just months after he was said to be looking better than ever. "I feel better now than I have in years," he told the Mirror in May. He added: "I hope I am at a point that I can really look back over everything I've gone through in my life with a different - and more positive - perspective. After so many years in the spotlight, I feel like it's time people got to know the real me.' It comes as he prepared to release his new book titled Eight, named after the number 8 shirt he famously wore for England for Euro 96, as well as for Spurs.

Jennifer Lopez, 55, flaunts her incredible figure in a TINY sequinned bodysuit during latest raunchy perfomance in Hungary - after shockingly simulating sex on stage
Jennifer Lopez set pulses racing as she took to the stage on the latest stop of her raunchy Up All Night Live Tour in Budapest on Sunday. The songstress, 55, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a skimpy sequinned bodysuit that left very little to the imagination. Jennifer's silver look boasted a plunging neckline and daringly high cut leg which showcased her flawless physique in all its glory. The hitmaker completed the sexy stage look with fishnets and thigh high sparkly boots which ensured all eyes were on her as she belted out her biggest hits. It comes just 24 hours after JLo shocked with her X-rated performance that saw her simulate sex positions on stage at the Cook Music Fest in Tenerife. She once again left little to the imagination, this time in a thong bodysuit complete with racy cut outs. Jennifer sung on all fours in front of one shirtless dancer, before another lifted her off her feet and she sat on his shoulder with her crotch in his face. Another eye-popping moments saw her straddling one dancer while placing her hands between the legs of another two. The hunky men showcased their gym honed physiques in only trousers and white corsets. The sizzling show comes after she debuted her Ben Affleck revenge song, saying earlier this week: 'This is a song that is a new song that I want to sing for the first time tonight that came to me when I was up all night one night. Shall we sing this one for the people?'. JLO —who first sang the song at a private fan event July 2—said she's 'better' now. 'The love I want, the love I need, it starts in me,' she sang. She then added, 'Now I found my way here I'm gonna stay there. Thank you for the scars you left on my heart, was showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark. I won't fall apart because of who we are, but your broken parts.' And she said the heartbreak made her 'wiser.' 'Because of you, I am stronger, wiser,' Lopez belted out. 'Better than I've ever been.' Then Jennifer made it very clear she would never reunite with Ben: 'I won't let you no longer, longer, ever say goodbye to me. It was perfect while you made me believe, really got only greater for me, and it made me stronger, stronger, bulletproof. Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you.' She then thanked the unnamed ex for 'the pain that you caused.' In May Jennifer told El Pais that the split was a 'difficult time' but she would be stronger for it. 'I'm proud of myself for that and I'm proud that I was able to navigate my children through difficult times, that they're stronger and better because of it.' Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their romance. But in August 2024, she filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary. A statement obtained by at the time read: 'Representatives for Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour THIS IS is canceled. 'Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,' it was added. Lopez herself also said she was 'heartsick and devastated' over the cancellation but added it was 'absolutely necessary.' An insider also told 'She's taking time off to be with family and close friends. This was a very difficult decision made by Jennifer this week and she's sorry to her fans.'
