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."

Despite Charli and George typically keeping their private life behind closed doors, she previously mentioned that neither of them are particularly concerned with the traditional aspects of marriage. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Charli revealed: "We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party. Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends." Earlier reports suggested the duo were set to jet off to Sicily with money being no object for their special day. "Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there," an insider revealed. They continued telling The Sun: "It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds, and visually it will be mesmerising. Charli and George said they wanted a massive party, and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night." The source revealed the ceremony would be packed with A-list guests as the couple exchanged vows. George got down on one knee in November 2023, just 12 months after they got together. Posting on Instagram, she uploaded a photo of the pair sharing a kiss whilst wrapped in each other's arms, captioning it: "charli xcx and george f***ing for life!" A second image displayed Charli's sparkling engagement ring nestled in its box, positioned between two tea cups. Charli and George reportedly first crossed paths at an awards ceremony back in 2019. They were spotted posing together for several photos, along with other attendees. Two years later, the musicians collaborated on the No Rome track Spinning, which was released in 2021. They teamed up again for Charli's 2022 album Crash and have continued to work together ever since. Charli publicly confirmed her relationship with George in May 2022 and announced their engagement in November 2023. Since then, George has served as Charli's muse, inspiring songs on her chart-topping album Brat particularly her track Talk Talk.
