Who is Caroline Daur? How the unassuming supermodel built an empire with millions of fans as she's spotted out with newly-single Romeo Beckham - and his mum Victoria's already given her the seal of approval!
Eyebrows were raised this week when Caroline Daur was spotted on a night out with Romeo Beckham just weeks after he split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
The German model, 30, has made a name for herself in recent years as a fashion blogger, under the name Caro Daur - and has even been given the seal of approval from Victoria Beckham herself already.
Victoria has longtime been a fan of Caroline's and in 2018 her Facebook page reposted a snap of Caroline wearing one of her designs.
Caroline has also attended several of Victoria's fashion shows.
She is proud of the fact she is 'self-made', previously stating: 'I don't have an agent, manager or assistant. I do everything by myself.'
The social media star first achieved prominence in the 2010s when she launched her blog and now boasts 4.6 million Instagram followers, with a further 1.1 million on TikTok.

Caroline - who studied business in school - worked for a headhunting company while building up her brand but is now a full-time influencer and model with a net worth of €4 million.
By 2016 she had become the first German blogger to achieve more than one million Instagram followers and went on to land the cover of Japanese Vogue as well as walking for Dolce & Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week.
Caroline also started branching out into other forms of media, appearing as a guest judge on Germany 's Next Top Model, and launching her own series of online workout videos.
In 2019, Caroline - who is the daughter of lawyer Harald and manager Monika - was mentioned in Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
The blogger previously revealed that she only sleeps four to five hours a night because her mind 'is always somewhere', and this year revealed she'd been diagnosed with ADHD.
Detailing her diagnosis, she said: 'It didn't surprise me – and it didn't surprise anyone around me either. The diagnosis came late, but it explained so much.
'My brain is like an internet browser with 47 tabs open. Sport is the only way I can calm it down. This morning I worked out at 7am, even after a short night. Without it, I just don't function.'
Of her ability to make it as a blogger, she mused: 'My success came from consistency and treating my work seriously. I didn't just smile in front of the camera – I planned, negotiated, edited, and built a business.'
Caroline is also set to make her TV debut, having landed a role in German Netflix series She Said Yes which filmed last year.
As a result of her newfound fame, Caroline has found himself moving in several high-profile circles.
She is believed to be currently single after an on/off relationship with podcaster Tommi Schmitt.
The pair were last linked together in February, with friends of the couple claiming they split because of their 'different views on a shared future.'
She is followed on Instagram by the Beckham clan, as well as Romeo's ex Kim and Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz.
Victoria Beckham has longtime been a fan of Caroline's and in 2018 her Facebook page reposted a snap of Caroline wearing one of her designs.
Caroline has also attended several of Victoria's fashion shows.
After Romeo was spotted with the stunning influencer in Paris on Saturday night, it was claimed the pair had bonded over their love of tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday.
The model jumped into a car with Caroline and other pals after enjoying an evening together, keeping the fun going as they went on to party Julia nightclub in the French capital into the early hours.
A source told MailOnline of the outing: 'Romeo was in town for work meetings, Roland Garros and also caught up with friends.
'He had dinner with his three friends one of whom is great friends with Caro so she joined the group. It was a casual dinner in a group setting throughout the evening.'
Despite the casual group outing, the pair appeared keen to not be snapped together as they left the venue separately before climbing into the same car alongside mutual friend, French Vogue Culture Director Dan Sablon.
Dan recently styled Romeo for his French Vogue fashion story.
Romeo cut a casual figure for the outing, opting for a black sweater teamed with dark tracksuit bottoms and blue trainers.
Meanwhile, Caroline dressed to impress in a strapless little black dress teamed with knee-high black boots.
Friends say that things remain 'amicable' between the Romeo and ex Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart.
One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up.
'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be.
'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.
'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case.
'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.'
Kim attended several of David's birthday celebrations. She was present at the former England captain's party at the end of March at Cipriani restaurant in Miami.
She also joined David, Victoria, and Romeo's younger brother Cruz, his girlfriend Jackie Apostel and sister Harper on their trip to France where they visited a vineyard in Bordeaux and a restaurant in Paris.
Kim was also at the big dinner at Core restaurant in Notting Hill, West London.
She has been at the centre of the rift after Nicola, 30, claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers.
That was the reason the couple gave for not attending any of David's celebrations.
However, in fact she enjoyed a romance with his close friend Rocco Ritchie, the son of Guy Ritchie and Madonna.
Kim, is the well-heeled granddaughter of renowned post-war sculptor and painter William Turnbull, while her father Alex Turnbull and uncle Johnny were part of the post-punk band 23 Skidoo, formed in 1979.
Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together at the time show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources.
That Kim has now been 'thrown to the wolves' as the reason behind the family row is 'deeply upsetting' to Brooklyn's parents and brothers.
In fact, younger brother Cruz, 20, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together.
In a now-deleted message, one user commented: 'It's appropriate to date your brother's ex too? Cool.'
