Who is Dan Evans' girlfriend and how long have they been a couple?
Evans is currently in action at Wimbledon, where he is facing Novak Djokovic in the second round.
He won a match at the All England Club for the first time in four years against Jay Clarke - although he was caught up in a row with his opponent.
According to Tennisfansite.com, Evans met Aleah when she was working in Winchcombe back in 2017.
Aleah helped Evans, who was banned from playing tennis for 12 months in 2017 because of cocaine use, through one of the most turbulent times of his life.
Not much is known about their relationship but they currently reside in Cheltenham together, though Evans is from Birmingham.
They have a very private life and Evans gives very little away in media interviews.
'It's been good (living in Cheltenham)," Evans told Gloucestershire Live. "I pretty much like to relax and not do much.
'It's easy to be around here. It's got a good coffee shop (The Coffee Dispensary in Regent Street) which always helps. Aleah and I always look for one when I'm on tour.
'It's cool here but I've spent a lot of time away. This is the first week home, for a full week, for a year probably.'
Aleah has been seen watching Evans from the stands when he's played at Wimbledon in the past and has been seen court-side during the Olympics in Paris.

Oasis reunion: A high-five and a hug - the gestures were there, but ultimately it was all about the music
Oasis have reunited on stage for the first time in almost 16 years - with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher sharing a high five and the briefest of hugs as they closed a performance that for fans was more than worth the wait. After the split in 2009, for many years Noel said he would never go back - and for a long time, as the brothers exchanged insults through separate interviews (and on social media, for Liam), it seemed pretty unlikely to ever happen. But now, here they are. As they walked out on stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, all eyes were on the Gallaghers for a sense of their relationship - dare we say it, friendship? - now after all these years. There was no reference to their fall-out or making up, but the gestures were there - lifting hands together as they walked out for the first time. Headlines and tweets of speculation and then confirmation of the reunion filled the screens as the show started. "This is happening," said one, repeatedly. In the end, it was all about the music. Liam has received criticism in the past for his voice not being what it once was, but back on stage with his brother tonight he delivered exactly what fans would have hoped for - a raw, steely-eyed performance, snarling vocals, and the swagger that makes him arguably the greatest frontman of his day. This was Oasis sounding almost as good as they ever have. 2:56 They opened with Hello, because of course, "it's good to be back". And then Acquiesce, and those lyrics: "Because we need each other/ We believe in one another." The song is said to be about friendship in the wider sense, rather than their brotherly bond and sibling rivalry, but you can't help but feel like it means something here. Over two hours, they played favourite after favourite - including Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic and Roll With It. In the mid-section, Liam takes his break for Noel to sing Talk Tonight, Half The World Away and Little By Little; the tempo slows but there is by no means a lull, with the fans singing all his words back to him. Liam returns for hits including Stand By Me, Slide Away, Whatever and Live Forever, before sending the crowd wild (or even wilder) with Rock And Roll Star. When the reunion announcement was made last summer, it quickly became overshadowed by the controversy of dynamic pricing causing prices to rocket. As he has done on X before, Liam addressed the issue on stage with a joke. "Was it worth the £4,000 you paid for the ticket?" he shouted at one point. "Yeah," the crowd shouts back; seemingly all is forgiven. After Rock And Roll Star, the dream that very quickly became a reality for this band, Noel introduced the rest of the group, calling Bonehead a "legend". Then he acknowledges all their young fans, some who maybe weren't even born when they split. "This one is for all the people in their 20s who've never seen us before, who've kept this shit going," he says before the encore starts with The Masterplan. Noel follows with Don't Look Back In Anger, and the screens fill with Manchester bees in reference to the arena bombing and how the song became the sound of hope and defiance for the city afterwards. 1:31 During Wonderwall, there's a nice touch as Liam sings to the crowd: "There are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh." It is at the end of Champagne Supernova, which closes the set, that it happens; Noel puts down his guitar, and they come together for a high-five and a back-slap, a blink-and-you'd miss it hug. 0:26 "Right then, beautiful people, this is it," Liam had told the crowd as he introduced the song just a few minutes earlier. "Nice one for putting up with us over the years." From the roar of the audience, it's safe to say most people here would agree it's been worth it.

Oasis review – a shameless trip back to the 90s for Britpop's loudest, greatest songs
The noise from the audience when Oasis arrive on stage for their first reunion gig is deafening. You might have expected a loud response. This is, after all, a crowd so partisan that, in between the support acts, they cheer the promotional videos – the tour's accompanying brand deals seem to involve not just the obviously Oasis-adjacent sportswear brand Adidas, but the more imponderable Land Rover Defender. Even so, the noise the fans make as the reconstituted Oasis launch into Hello takes you aback slightly, and not just because Hello is a fairly bold choice of opener: this is, after all, a song that borrows heavily from Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again by Gary Glitter. But no one in Cardiff's Principality Stadium seems to care about the song's genesis: the noise is such that you struggle to think of another artist that's received such a vociferous reception. So, the success of the show seems more or less like a foregone conclusion. Anyone who saw them in the 00s will tell you that the old Oasis were a hugely variable proposition live: you never knew what mood Liam Gallagher would show up in, or how the current state of familial relations might affect their performance. But evidently as little as possible has been left to chance at these reunion gigs. No one – including, to their immense credit, Liam and Noel Gallagher – seems interested in pretending this tour is anything other than a hugely lucrative cash-grab, and clearly, you only grab the maximum possible cash if the tour doesn't descend into the kind of bedlam to which Oasis tours were once prone. Liam is on his best behaviour – 'thanks for putting up with us,' he offers at one juncture, 'I know we're hard work', a noticeable shift from the days when he was wont to rain abuse on the audience – and Liam and Noel have rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs stood squarely between them on stage, creating distance. You could say that removes combustibility, the hint of potential chaos that was at least part of Oasis's appeal, but you might as well save your breath: no one would be able to hear you over the sound of people singing along en masse to a set that plays to the strengths of Oasis's back catalogue. Few bands' reputations have been better served by the rise of streaming, both in its favouring of curated playlists over albums – all the highlights and none of the rubbish, of which there was a great deal in Oasis's later years – and in the way it decontextualises music, denuding it of its accompanying story or contemporary critical responses. The much-vaunted Oasis fans too young to remember the band first-hand definitely exist – you can see them in the audience – but you do wonder how many of them believe Oasis split up in 1998, rather than grimly trudging on for another decade, to declining artistic returns. The show seeks to maintain this myth. It's very much playlist Oasis, big on the first two albums and B-sides from the years when Noel Gallagher's songwriting talent seemed so abundant he could afford to blithely confine stuff as good as Acquiesce or The Masterplan to an extra track on a CD single, and low on anything at all from their later years. Only the presence of 2002's Little By Little indicates that Oasis existed into the 21st century. You can still sense inspiration declining – 1997's D'You Know What I Mean? sounds like a trudge regardless of how many people are singing along – but far more often, the show serves as a reminder of how fantastic purple patch Oasis were. Against a ferocious wall of distorted guitars, there's a weird disconnect between the tone of Noel's songs – wistful, noticeably melancholy – and the way Liam sings them like a man seething with frustration, on the verge of offering someone a fight. Even discounting half their career, they have classics in abundance: Cigarettes & Alcohol, Slide Away, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Morning Glory. Enough, in fact, that a section where Liam cedes the stage and Noel takes over vocals doesn't occasion a dip in the audience's enthusiasm: during Half the World Away, the audience's vocals threaten to drown the song's author out entirely. It ends with precisely the encore you might have expected – Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova – which understandably occasions precisely the response you might have expected. A very perfunctory clap on the back – the only time the Gallaghers interact beyond playing the same songs – and Liam vanishes: a car is waiting by the side of the stage to whisk him away before the final notes die away, a triumph in the bag.

Radiant Zara McDermott puts on a leggy display in a stylish polka dot summer dress during sun-soaked girls' trip abroad
Zara McDermott put on a leggy display in a polka dot summer dress as she soaked in the sun on a girls' trip away. The former Love Islander, 28, looked sensational in the outfit as she enjoyed some quality time away with a friend. Zara, who is dating Louis Tomlinson, completed her effortlessly chic look by slipping into a pair of red flip-flops as she posed for the camera. Zara and her friend appeared to be in great spirits as they stood arm-in-arm cracking beaming smiles for the camera. She captioned the cute slew of snaps posted to her Instagram: 'girly trip xx' Zara's girls' trip abroad comes after she spent last weekend at Glastonbury with her new boyfriend Louis, 33, and his sister Lottie Tomlinson. At the same time, Zara also broke her silence on her split from Sam Thompson, 32, and discussed her new romance. The couple, who featured on Made In Chelsea together, had enjoyed a five year relationship before calling time on their romance in January. Zara however made headlines after swiftly moving on with One Direction star Louis, with the pair spotted enjoying dates together in early March. Their romance continued to blossom with Zara and Louis even seen enjoying getaways together before Louis and Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid last month. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking his new partner's ex following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara later admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. She told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' Zara and Louis have since seemingly gone from strength to strength nevertheless, with the couple pictured looking smitten only last weekend at Glastonbury. And Zara certainly got the family seal of approval as she was snapped cuddling up to Louis 's sister Lottie. Their relationship has the added strength of the blessing of his make-up artist sister Lottie, 26, whom he has a close bond with. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Lottie shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival at Worthy Farm, which she enjoyed with Louis, Zara and fiancé Lewis Burton. Proving she was accepting of her brother's new romance, Lottie snuggled in close to Zara, who wrapped an arm around her waist, as they posed in the field together. Fans were quick to take to the comments to share their excitement over the seemingly newfound friend between Zara and her boyfriend's sister. 'Nice when your siblings and partners get along so well'
