Nick Grimshaw has a new boyfriend.
The 34-year-old DJ has enjoyed a string of dates with Meshach Henry, who he met earlier this year, and reportedly took the dancer on a romantic break to Oxfordshire to celebrate his 22nd birthday last weekend.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Nick has found dating quite tough in recent years because of his job.
"But he met Meshach — who’s called Mesh by his pals — a few months ago and although it’s still early days they are really enjoying their time together. They are taking things easy and not putting any pressure on anything.
"Nick really likes him, and his friends are thrilled he has found someone who makes him happy."
Nick recently admitted he hoped moving from the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show to the Drivetime slot after six years would improve his personal life as the early starts had meant sacrificing romance.
He said: "I think I will have more time to put my life first. I have committed to this show, especially the last year, and I have put my head down. But now I can go for dates with people and the new show will help.
"I have been trying to date people, but you don’t want to ‘day date’ and even two weeks ago, I went on a date and then he said, ‘Do you want to go to the cinema, it’s at 8.20pm?’
"And I was thinking, ‘8.20, arrggh the film won’t start until like ten-to-nine so it won’t finish before 11’ so home and asleep at midnight and that is if I fall asleep straight away."
Since taking over the covered job from Chris Moyles in 2012, Nick admitted it has consumed his life and he’s looking forward to getting back into a normal routine which doesn’t start so early every day.
He added "It does send you a bit mad and sort of becomes your life, because everything you are watching and consuming each day you are trying to produce content for the next morning, because you can’t do it before 5am."
