The McFly bassist, 35, and actress Yasmeen, who has starred in Netflix's The Sandman, have kept tight lipped about their romance, however, the relationship appears to be going well.
A source told The Sun : “Dougie and Yasmeen have been dating for ages but have been keeping things very quiet.

“Dougie actually got together with Yasmeen not long after he split from his ex. It has been smooth sailing since then. They have been on holidays together and are really into each other.”

It was reported that Dougie and his ex-girlfriend Maddy Elmer split up in February last year, after dating for over two-and-a-half years.
Dougie’s relationship with the musician was confirmed in June 2019, when photographs emerged of the pair together outside Soho House members’ club in London.
However, the pair reportedly made the mutual decision to break up last year, after lockdown was said to have had an effect.
Sources confirmed to The Sun at the time: “Maddy and Dougie seemed to be a great match. They had a lot in common, including their passion for unusual animals, like insects and reptiles.
