Bernardo 'dating gorgeous model Ines Tomaz' after isolating together

Bernardo Silva has reportedly found love again with a stunning Portuguese model.

The midfielder, 25, split with stunning French model girlfriend Alicia Verrando nearly two years ago.

Portuguese media are now linking him to equally gorgeous Ines Tomaz after they were pictured together during the coronavirus lockdown.

A source quoted by Portuguese daily Correio da Manha said: “They’ve not been together for long and they want to take things slowly.”

Bernardo, 25, revealed last week he had quarantined with a group including Ines in a photo showing him sat beside the blonde beauty.

He wrote: “Hey guys, it’s been over a month that we’re all locked down in our homes so I have decided to show you a little bit of what our quarantine looks like.

“This is the group of friends with whom I’m spending my quarantine since the beginning.”

Well-travelled model Ines, whose sister Mariana represented Portugal at Miss Global 2017, is thought to be from Lisbon.

The house where the pair stayed with friends is in the countryside - situated an hour away from the Portuguese capital.

The Man City star said: “I’ve been watching Netflix, plenty of sports during the day, playing the piano and learning how to cook better.

“It is a good opportunity. My friends are very good cooks, so they have been teaching me a lot of things.

“It is time to try and enjoy ourselves at home and that is what I have been trying to do.”

He also confirmed he was exercising as much as possible using programmes sent to him by Man City.

Reports at the time claimed Bernardo ended his two-year relationship with ex Alicia as it had "gone cold" following her move to the UK.

Monte Carlo-born Alicia, who met Bernardo when she landed a job as an intern marketing assistant at his former club Monaco, flew to Russia to support Portugal at the last World Cup.

Soon after arriving she shared a video of fans wearing Portuguese shirts with her partner’s name on ahead of his team’s match against Uruguay.

But the last ‘happy couple’ photo they shared on social media was in May 2018 from the upmarket resort of Sesimbra near Lisbon.

Bernardo, who signed a five-year contact with Man City in May 2017 for a £43million fee, posted pics online of him with his sister Maria at her wedding but none with Alicia.

Alicia, who studied international business at California State University and speaks several languages fluently including English, Portuguese and French, left France to move to Manchester when manager Pep Guardiola came calling.

She was his last-known girlfriend and until today, when Silva was linked to beautiful Ines, he has always been described as single.
