ONE of Britain’s richest divorcees has a hunky new toyboy lover a year after splitting from her billionaire hubby.
Former Miss UK Kirsty Bertarelli, 51, secured a £350million settlement as she broke up with wealthy Ernesto after 21 years.
This week the mum-of-three revealed she had moved on — sharing an online snap of a romantic holiday stroll with her unnamed fella.
In the Instagram post, Kirsty wrote: “Sometimes the stars are aligned — you held my hand and made me shine.
“Sometimes in life you’re given a second chance — don’t let go just be strong — love knows no bounds when it’s pure and sweet — stable as the ground beneath your feet.”
Kirsty has also been posting pics of herself in a bikini on the Med yacht trip.
And she posed with pals in Sardinia, insisting she was “blissfully happy”.
A friend said: “Kirsty has been through the mill but is now in a good place.
“She has close friends, a new younger man, and a bulging bank balance.
"Life is good and she’s blissfully happy. She’s earned a bit of fun.”
In 2020 Surrey-based Kirsty was the fourth wealthiest woman on the Sunday Times Rich List thanks to Ernesto’s £9.2billion pharmaceuticals fortune.
She wed the Italian, 56, in 2000 and they lived with their three children in Switzerland.
Kirsty, who was crowned Miss UK in 1988 and co-wrote the All Saints hit Black Coffee, split with Ernesto last year.
Her divorce payout, one of the biggest in British legal history, is believed to have been about £350million.
The huge sum was just shy of the Queen’s estimated fortune of £365million.
In addition Kirsty got a £52million house on the shores of Lake Geneva.
She also owns an £8million chalet in the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad.
The brunette, currently with blonde streaks in her hair, was represented by Baroness Fiona Shackleton, the lawyer who helped Prince Charles and Sir Paul McCartney in their divorces.
Kirsty’s latest holiday snaps show she seems to be fully recovered after being struck down with shingles.
Earlier this month she posted photos of a painful facial rash and told her followers: “Shingles which leaves you feeling like a leper with painful nerve damage.”
