Dean Gaffney has been reportedly getting to know a gorgeous new love interest who is 19 years younger than him.
The former EastEnders actor is said to have been growing close with Russian model Valerina who is 25 years old.
The leggy blonde is enjoying spending quality time with Robbie Jackson star Dean, 44, according to reports.
Valerina – who is the same age as Dean’s twin daughters – spends her time between her homeland Russia and Dubai, where Dean has been for the last three weeks.
A source told The Sun: “Dean and Valerina have been spending a lot of time together in Dubai over the past few days.

“She is absolutely gorgeous so it’s no surprise she has caught Dean’s eye. And he has an amazing way with women – they fall at his feet. Dean is insisting they’re just mates and that it is all just a bit of fun.
“He shared a glimpse of Valerina on his Instagram stories earlier this week but has been careful not to tag her name or include any snaps of her face.”
The duo have reportedly been staying at the Address Beach Resort and “getting to know each other”.

And the source added that other blokes are keen to learn Dean’s “secret”, as “gorgeous women” tend to “flock” to spend time with him.
Dean is no stranger to an age gap – his last relationship was with model Rebekah Rose-Ward, 28, who is 16 years younger than him.
Dean and Rebekah dated for three years before splitting in 2019.
Prior to their romance, he was involved with childhood sweetheart and mother to his daughters Sarah Burge.

Last year Dean joined dating app Raya and swore off dating women in their twenties.
He said: “I’m only dating women in their thirties now. I don’t want to go out with someone the same age as my daughters.”
The actor is currently in talks with TV production companies about plans for his latest project, a movie called Pearl and Dean.
In the film he will star as himself and be seen falling in love with a transgender girl called Pearl.
Daily Star has contacted Dean’s reps for comment.
