Ed Westwick and his model girlfriend Tamara Francesconi step out with new puppy

They recently welcomed a new addition to their family.

And Ed Westwick and his girlfriend Tamara Francesconi stepped out for the first time with their new puppy – a French Bulldog named Humphrey Bogart – on Friday.

The Gossip Girl actor, 33, and his model girlfriend, 24, were seen browsing a flower stall while the star cradled the adorable pooch in his arms.

South African native Tamara looked typically chic in a white mini dress, which she teamed with a pair of knee-high boots and Dior bag.

She layered her look with a stylish PrettyLittleThing trench coat.

She wore her brunette locks in a loose style and covered her eyes from the rays with a pair of black shades, while also adding some gold hoop earrings.

Meanwhile, Ed sported a white jumper and suede jacket, which he teamed with a pair of grey trousers and white pumps. 

The couple first revealed they had taken their relationship to the next level by getting a puppy together when Tamara shared a clip of the dog on he social media.

Posting a clip of Ed holding the puppy, she wrote: ‘Our new baby, Humphrey Bogart @edwestwick’, seemingly named after the famous American actor.

On Friday, Tamara also shared a look at some of the puppy bits they had bought for Humphrey, as well as a sweet shot of him ‘joining her for a work out’. 

Tamara recently travelled to her native South Africa with actor Ed, just months after they celebrated their one-year anniversary.

The influencer revealed that the Gossip Girl star – who she has been dating since October 2019 – first approached her via her Instagram DMs as she treated her followers to a rare peek at their romance last year.

She also touched on whether she’s jealous about his on-screen kisses, his love for her native country and being co-dependent during the coronavirus lockdown. 

Fans had been curious to find out how the pair had crossed paths, and Tamara did not hold back in revealing the details. 

She explained during a fan Q&A: ‘Going to answer this first because it’s my most asked question, and probably the reason a lot of you follow me.

‘He direct messaged me out of the blue saying hi and I nearly fell off my chair, we then chatted for a while and he asked me on a date, which I assumed would be a dinner.

‘Instead he took me to a butterfly sanctuary in Mayfair, we thereafter spent the whole day exploring London together, and the rest is history.

‘I feel like we have all become codependent with our partners this year (I know I have) I think it’s really important to do things alone and for yourself, read a book, go for a walk, chat to a friend.’
