Tinder's 'most swiped right man' finds love after nine years on app
Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, first downloaded the dating app in June 2015 after "struggling to find love". Meet Tinder's 'most swiped right man' who has finally "found love" after NINE YEARS on the app and 48,000 likes - but says his"dream woman was offline the entire time". Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, first downloaded the dating app in June 2015 after "struggling to find love". But two years later, he "became an addict" - averaging over three hours a day swiping through potential matches. He eventually earned the title 'Mr Tinder' in 2017, when it was revealed that more users - 14,600 to be exact - had swiped right on him than anyone else. Despite hordes of potential suitors, the male model "never found love" on any subsequent dates - and said he much prefers to find the one the old-fashioned way, in person. Stefan, who is also a trained pilot, has been open about his previous relationships, which "have never worked out". But now admits he's been "left love-struck" after a 'mates' night-out to a bar in Soho, London, in October 2024, led him to have "found Ms Right" in finance manager, Vicky Batsford, 43, who took his"breath away". The meet-cue was"unexpected", but nine months on, the pair have become official and are "smitten with each other". Stefan, who owns a match-making company, Celebrity Love Coach, from Greenwich, London, said: "I swiped right on her in real life. "She stole my attention straight away and everything was easy and natural with her. "At one point, I was getting 40 matches a day on Tinder and had to mute the app. "Since then, online dating has never really worked for me. "Meeting Vicky, I knew things would be different. "She's organised, humble, and saw me beyond the Mr Tinder facade. "She's the perfect woman for me and I'm completely off-limits now." Stefan was on a "spontaneous night out" with friends when he first bumped into Vicky in October 2024. It came following a nine-year stint on Tinder that saw him have over 48,000 potential"suitors to choose from", he claims. "She was wearing a fitted black dress and looked super fun," he said. "We made eye contact and both smiled while crossing paths. "I knew I had to talk to her and we exchanged numbers that night. "We quickly became friends and things lifted off from there." Stefan said Vicky had "no idea" he was 'Mr Tinder' when they first met. It was only later that week, after googling his name, she became aware and was quite "intimidated". "At first, it was a massive eye roll," Vicky, from Essex, said. "But I didn't think anything of it at first, as we were just friends. "I did ask if he was a s**g, which we laughed about. "But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. "He soon swooned me over." Stefan had used Tinder to go on over 15 dates - four of which resulted in relationships during his nine-year spell. But he "struggled" to meet 'the one', admitting that amongst his 40 matches per day, less than five per cent would lead to a conversation - which only worsened once he "shot to fame" in 2017, saying that it led to "inauthentic interactions". "My success with dating apps plummeted after I became Mr Tinder," he said. "It's just become a game where people 'swipe on me' just because of who I am. "So finding love the old-fashioned way was what I heavily relied on and I'm chuffed to say it has worked. "It was probably in my favour that Vicky perhaps didn't know who I was off the bat." Although Vicky admitted there were "clear differences" in who they are, she "couldn't be happier" to call him her boyfriend. "We come from very different worlds," she said. "I'm way more structured and disciplined - and he's a lot more spontaneous. "But I think that creates a good balance and a reason why we work so well together. "We're super happy."

Drawing on his experience of the dating world, Stefan also established an online match-making site, Celebrity Love Coach, in 2021 - to help others find their other half - and has since set up 52 couples. "I found my love and I've always wanted to help others find theirs," he said. "The dating world is always changing and it's easy to lose hope. "But there is love for anyone who is willing to put themselves outside their comfort zone. "In the past, I've dated models, nurses - and idiots. "However, things are different now with my new partner and we live a stable life. "It's something I've never had before. "But I'm willing to keep it for as long as I can."

Mr Tinder FINALLY finds love: Dating app's 'most swiped man' with 48,000 likes and who once dated Vanessa Feltz is left smitten with a finance manager he met in a Soho bar
Tinder 's 'most swiped man' who once dated Vanessa Feltz and racked up 48,000 likes on the dating app says he has been left smitten with a woman he met offline. Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, downloaded Tinder in June 2015 after 'struggling to find love' but he quickly became addicted and was averaging over three hours each day trawling for potential matches. It led to him earning the title 'Mr Tinder' in 2017 when it was revealed that 14,600 users had swiped right - signalling their interest - for him, which was more than anyone else on the platform. But despite the hordes of potential suitors on the app, the trained pilot and male model said he 'never found love' on subsequent dates stemming from swipes. He did settle down briefly with NHS nurse Leanne Noakes in 2023 before having 'four or five' dates with Ms Feltz last year - but any romances were short lived and 'never worked out'. That is until now, as Mr Tomlin revealed he is 'love-struck' after a night-out to a bar in Soho, London, led him to find his very own 'Ms Right' in finance manager, Vicky Batsford, 43, who he says took his 'breath away'. He says their meeting was at first 'unexpected' but nine months on the pair have become official and are 'smitten' to the point they are considering moving in with each other and potentially tying the knot. Mr Tomlin, from Greenwhich, who owns his own match-making company, said he 'swiped right on her in real life'. 'She stole my attention straight away and everything was easy and natural with her,' he continued. 'At one point, I was getting 40 matches a day on Tinder and had to mute the app. Since then, online dating has never really worked for me. Meeting Vicky, I knew things would be different. 'She's organised, humble, and saw me beyond the Mr Tinder facade. She's the perfect woman for me and I'm completely off-limits now.'

'We made eye contact and both smiled while crossing paths. 'I knew I had to talk to her and we exchanged numbers that night. We quickly became friends and things lifted off from there.' Mr Tomlin said that Ms Batsford had 'no idea' he was 'Mr Tinder' when they first met, and that it was only later that week she became aware and was quite 'intimidated'. 'At first, it was a massive eye roll,' the 43-year-old from Essex said. 'But I didn't think anything of it at first, as we were just friends. I did ask if he was a s**g, which we laughed about. 'But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. He soon swooned me over.' Mr Tomlin had used Tinder to go on over 15 dates, four of which resulted in relationships during his nine-year spell.
