AJ introduced her hunky man at the same time she announced they were engaged to be married.
It has now been revealed that her fiance is Peter Gibson, who is originally from Idaho but currently living in the Big Apple.
But the pair are planning to settle down in the UK, according to the Mail.
Peter reportedly works for brand agency Wieden + Kennedy, who also have offices in London and Mexico.
The pair are currently together in Seattle as they prepare for their nuptials.
It is understood that AJ has been quietly making trips back and forth to New York to spend time with her partner.
A source told the publication: "He's [Peter's] now planning a move to the UK so that he and AJ can live together and properly set themselves up for the future.
"With many strings to his bow as an art director and creator, it made more sense for Pete to relocate, especially given AJ's career has taken off to new heights in the UK."
The Sun has reached out to AJ's rep for comment.
AJ was flooded with messages of congratulations from her famous pals after revealing her engagement.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Hiya love," followed by a heart, ring and puppy eyes emoji.
The presenter star did not reveal the name of her man, but she shared a string of loved-up snaps in which they embraced and kissed inside a photo booth.
Another snap saw AJ proudly show off her sparkler while wearing a gorgeous feathered dress.
Her partner - who had not previously been known by fans - looked suave in a cream suit, layered above a black tank top.
The Strictly star's post attracted heaps of comments from her celeb friends, with Alexandra Burke writing: "Awww congrats babe! I love this for you!"
Jourdan Dunn added: "Congratulations!!!" while Johannes Radebe said: "Awww congrats," and Anita Rani chimed in with: "congratulations."
Joe Baggs, Henry Southan and Yinrun Huang also sent their love.
Up until now, AJ had been believed to be single.
In December 2021, there were rumours when she was on Strictly that she was dating her dance partner Kai Widdrington.
When quizzed on Strictly: It Takes Two, the duo laughed and appeared awkward, before Kai explained: "If people react like this then it means we are doing something right, because that is the way the dance should be danced."
He went on to say they wanted to do the "passionate, fiery and intimate" dance justice.
"If people want to think that, then great but we are just doing our jobs, she was doing her job," he added.
During her time on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, AJ gave an insight into her previous relationships.
TV presenter AJ does not have any children.
She said: "I've been cheated on by three ex-boyfriends.
"One of them was sleeping with my best friends."

But he is a very familiar face in recent movie history. Although he has always been the lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and songwriter for American band Thirty Seconds to Mars, His first appearances on screen were guest appearances on the short-lived television shows Camp Wilder (1992) and Almost Home (1993). But his break through television role was in My So-Called Life in 1994. Since then he has appeared in various movies and is best known for starring as The Joker in Suicide Squad, He won an Oscar and Golden Globe for Dallas Buyers Club. You must have guessed it now? But here's another clue - just in case. The star has two big-budget films being released in the coming months at Disney and Amazon MGM, Tron: Ares and Masters of the Universe. Yes, it's none other than the Hollywood legend Jared Leto. Jared posted the video on his Facebook account and captioned it: "Breaking bread in Barcelona🇪🇸" Tron Ares Trailer The video showed Jared offering some bread to a Spanish local who broke some off and ate it.

BBC Line of Duty star icon announces massive career change
Vicky McClure, who plays Detective Inspector Kate Fleming on the popular BBC show, has revealed that she will be shifting away from acting to pursue music. On Instagram, it was confirmed that Vicky had collaborated with Sheffield-based band Reverend and the Makers on the group's new single, Haircut. Sharing a clip with fans online, she wrote: "I'm no Whitney [Houston], but I love music. A post shared by reverend_makers (@reverend_makers) "Making this with Jon [McClure] and Rev was such a chilled experience. "All I hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along." Line of Duty fans have long wondered if the popular BBC show would be returning for a seventh series. Leading men Martin Compston, who plays DI Steve Arnott and Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Ted, shared an update with fans, according to The Sun. When asked if the show would be returning, Martin said: 'We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot. "Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off." "You know, the day people stop asking about the show will be a sad day, so I'm delighted that people are still excited about it. "We'd all love to work together again at some point. We still all meet up. "I met with Jed [Mercurio, the show's creator], Adrian [Dunbar] and Vicky [McClure] in London before Christmas - we went out for dinner, to hear what everyone's up to." He added: 'It's amazing. It's the best feeling as an actor when you feel like the whole country's in the palm of your hand with what's coming next, and there's only a couple of you in the secret of who's surviving and what's going on. "But because we're all so close and we all want the best for the show, we wouldn't do it again just for the sake of it. "If it was just about doing it for the sake of it, we'd have probably done another three series by now. "We really care about the quality of it. So if we come back, it would be for the right reasons. "It won't just be: 'Get another one done.' It'll be because Jed thinks there's a story to tell."

Newport unveils new ‘busk stops' in the city centre
Shoppers and regular visitors to the city often find themselves entertained by the wide variety of music that's performed in the city centre daily, but now these performers are being encouraged to show their craft and talents with special areas known as 'busk stops'. Seven of these 'busk stops' have been installed around the city centre, with locations in Queensway (outside the railway station); High Street (near popular music venues the Corn Exchange and Le Pub); Market bus station, Upper Dock Street; near the junction of High Street and Bridge St; Austin Friars; Commercial St (near the Charles St junction) and Llanarth Street. David and Jax are quickly finding a love for busking (Image: NQ) Having only been installed for a short while, the sites are working and already beginning to attract those who are new to the craft and reigniting the flame for others. Buskers Jax Jones and David Chapman are new to the craft. Jax said: 'I've never busked before, and David hasn't busked since 2015.' 'Newport has a really interesting music scene, and this sort of thing will encourage people to go out and busk more. There's a lot of pubs closing down so this gives us more opportunities and a reason to come out.' The sites not only allow buskers to show their talents, but it also widens the music tastes of those walking by. A quick performance of a track by American rock band Alice In Chains by David and Jax may not be the first choice for many shoppers today but the duo is helping broaden the horizons of the general public. The act of busking itself is a centuries-old tradition that is performed around the world and Newport is no exception, with the music that flows through the streets being appreciated by many. The main aim of these spaces is to enrich the already diverse and thriving music scene in Newport by encouraging even more performance. These buskers are more than welcome to now set up shop during the day at one of these designated spots and perform, instead of waiting until the evening when the venues in the area are open for business. These 'busk stops' are the next step in deepening Newport's love for music and showcasing its incredibly rich local talent.
