Lizzie Cundy Enjoys Cozy Dinner with New Love, DJ Donald Frieze

Lizzie Cundy looked smitten with her new love interest, American DJ Donald Frieze, as they enjoyed a cosy date night at The Nice Guy in West Hollywood, California, this week.

The TV personality, 57, looked stunning in a black sequin top paired with a leather mini skirt as she cosied up to Donald for several sweet snaps. 

Grinning from ear to ear, Lizzie completed her chic look with a black-and-white pinstripe blazer and a pair of red-and-black stiletto heels.

Flashing a glimpse of her long, toned legs, Lizzie toted her essentials in a black quilted Chanel bag.  

Meanwhile, her new beau cut a smart figure for the evening, wearing a black round-neck jumper and black trousers as he sweetly wrapped his arm around Lizzie. 

Lizzie was previously married to English former footballer Jason Cundy. They tied the knot in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London. 

She then split from Jason in 2012 after discovering his affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley. 

Earlier this year, in a BBC documentary titled Sex After Celebrity, Lizzie revealed the difficulties she faced with being in the public eye at the height of her fame and reflected on the period when her marriage split became public. 

She said: ‘It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers. 

‘There’s a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn’t even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well.

‘Friends I knew didn’t know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed.

‘They didn’t really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.’

She continued: ‘And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, “Could they have put that story in?” or, you know, “I only told that person, so how did it get in?”

‘And quizzing and questioning people that you’ve known a lifetime. So that side was awful.’

Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool.

She explained: ‘It’s difficult when you’ve been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did.

‘And I’ve actually been on a date where we’re sitting there and I’ve seen him push his phone, and I thought, “I think you’re recording me.”

‘So I just said it out, “Is your phone on? Are you recording?” And he just went, “Yeah…”‘

Fast forward to the present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it was ‘great now’.

She then went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has enjoyed several other relationships out of the public eye.

The TV star said at the time: ‘I am loving dating. I do long-distance relationships, which is fantastic.

‘So, you know, you can send little naughty pics and you just keep it fresh. They’re not there all the time, getting on your nerves.

‘You know, guys are good for different things. You know, I used to have one guy and I’d think, “Oh, if only he was a little bit more fun and wanted to go out at night”.

‘I’ve got guys, you know, one likes football, one likes going out for dinner, one makes me laugh, one’s good in bed, you know? Got it all.

‘So that’s what… I’m free. I love it, and I’ve never been happier.’
