Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, the man behind the infamous 'Mr. Tinder' title, has finally found love offline. The 29-year-old model, who accumulated 14,600 matches on Tinder over two years, met his girlfriend Natasha Boon, a 27-year-old X Factor singer, through a mutual friend in April.
Tomlin's dating history was marked by 20 matches a day and 15 first dates, but none of those relationships lasted. He admits that his previous relationships quickly fizzled out, leaving him wondering if he needed an app to find love.
However, when he met Boon, he knew he had found someone special. 'When I first saw Natasha, she reminded me of Marilyn Monroe,' Tomlin told The Mirror. 'She wore a tight red dress, red lipstick, and her blonde hair was styled amazingly. She knocked me off my feet, and that rarely happens. I had butterflies in my stomach.'
Boon, initially turned off by Tomlin's 'Mr. Tinder' reputation, has come to terms with his past and now feels privileged to be with him. 'I do get a little jealous when I think about all the women he's matched with, but I appreciate that a lot of people fancy him, and I feel privileged to be with him,' she said.
The couple has already moved in together and is planning a future that includes making music together, getting engaged, buying a house, and starting a family.
