The pair were spotted in the British Airways First Class lounge at London's Heathrow Airport last week - before jetting off on a romantic getaway to Bodrum in Turkey.
A source said: 'The pair were very loved-up and enjoying the perks of the lounge before their flight.'
Turkish singer Dilek Sert Erdogan posted a snap of the couple at the five-star Lujo Hotel Bodrum, captioned: 'The amazing Jermain Defoe and his lovely wife Farran came to see our show.
'Even after I got off stage, they were still there…
'Later, Farran messaged me saying: 'Jermain said: 'We have to stay afterwards - and let her know what an amazing voice she has.' How sweet is that?'
'We had a lovely little chat - they're such warm, genuine people. One by one they sparkle but together they shine!'
In 2023 Jermain was caught kissing wedding planner Paige Mallabourn-Edmondson at a hotel in Lancashire - days after appearing on a red carpet with his influencer girlfriend Alisha LeMay.
It came after Jermain left his wife Donna Tierney for Alisha after less than a year of marriage.
Let's hope Jermain doesn't stray this time…

Ex-Rangers star John Lundstram ‘leaves Trabzonspor training camp to TERMINATE contract'
IT'S only a year since John Lundstram swapped Rangers for Trabzonspor. But it looks very much like he's moving on, again according to shock reports out of Turkey. 2 John Lundstram's time at Trabzonspor could be coming to an end Credit: Getty 2 Lundstram played for Rangers between 2021 and 2024 Credit: Willie Vass Lundstram, 31, spent three years with Rangers between 2021 and 2024. He established himself as a fans' favourite during his debut season as he helped inspire the Gers to the Europa League Final - scoring the goal that got them there by beating RB Leipzig. The midfielder moved on last summer at the end of his contract. Both Lundstram and teammate Borna Barisic were snapped-up by Turkish giants Trabzonspor. But it looks like his Turkish adventure could be over after just one season. That's because shock reports out of the country claim Lundstram is about to TERMINATE his contract. The former Sheffield United ace signed a three-year when he joined Trabzon last year. There had been previous murmurs that Lundstram's time with the club could be coming to an end. Turkish Super Lig clubs are only permitted to have a certain number of overseas players in their squads and Lundstram had been previously namechecked as one foreign player who could be moved on to make way for new recruits this summer. Now, several reports out of Turkey are claiming that Lundstram has left Trabzonspor's pre-season training camp - in order to TERMINATE his deal. Rangers transfer special assesses whether Conor Coady deal is OFF, if Hamza Igamane will leave and when the Gers can expect more incomings It's been reported by several outlets, including Karadeniz de Sonnokta and Fanatik, that Lundstram left the camp early before its conclusion on Sunday. It's been claimed further that he's doing so to bring his time at the club to an end in order to join Hull City. To join Hull, Lundstram would HAVE to be a free agent. That's because the English Championship club are currently under a signing embargo that does not allow them to pay a fee to sign any players. A contract termination would free up Lundstram to be able to join Hull. The Fanaktik report states that he left the camp in order to hold talks with the English club. Lundstram came through the youth ranks at Everton but failed to make a senior appearance for the Toffees. He had loan spells at six different clubs before joining Oxford United permanently in 2015. The midfielder moved on to Sheffield United two days later and proved a key player during the Blades' stint in the Premier League between 2019 and 2021. He then joined Rangers on a free transfer following United's relegation and headed for Turkey last summer. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Panathinaikos vs Rangers injury news: 9 out and 1 doubt as Russell Martin mulls over changes in Athens
Rangers will take a two goal advantage into the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round as they look to finish the job against Panathinaikos at the Athens Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night (kick-off: 7pm UK time). Goals from Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama saw Russell Martin's side secure a vital 2-0 first leg win in last week's clash at Ibrox, but the Greek giants will be looking to avenge the loss in Govan, and turn around the tie in front of a vocal home support in the Greek capital. New signings of Nasser Djiga, Max Aarons and Joe Rothwell are all likely to keep their place in the starting XI, while Danilo is expected to keep his place upfront ahead of Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers after scoring in the 2-2 pre-season friendly draw with Middlesbrough at the weekend. There are doubts over one key midfielder for Rangers though, while the the aforementioned Gassama will be hoping to make his first start for the club following his £2.2million arrival from Sheffield Wednesday this summer. Ahead of the game at Athens Olympic Stadium, The Scotsman has all the latest team news: 1 . Clinton Nsiala - Rangers - INELIGIBLE The Frenchman is likely to leave Rangers this summer and is surplus to requirements at Ibrox.
