She looked happier than ever while Tino beamed back at her in the romantic moment. 

It's unclear how long Simone and Tino have been dating, but it has been reported that they met at the F1 race in Monaco. 

He is the CEO of the GP Ice Race, a new winter event in Austria. 

At the Netflix event they also posed for snaps together as they packed on the PDA.

Last year the Mail on Sunday revealed Simone's first serious relationship was with coffee brand manager Luke Richardson, who is 13 years her senior.

The couple met in an East London café where he was working as a barista and quickly moved in together. 

They then moved to Los Angeles as Miss Ashley pursued her fledgling screen career, but their two-year relationship ended when Grimsby-born Mr Richardson – previously the drummer with indie rock group The Draytones, who once toured with Paul Weller – decided to leave California

Simone previously told how the role as feisty aristocrat Kate Sharma in the Netflix period drama Bridgerton helped with her mental health after a break-up.

The Surrey-born actress, who has 2.8 million Instagram followers, said: 'I was going through a break-up in 2019 to 2020, just before I got Bridgerton, and I wasn't taking care of myself. I was being so hard on myself.'

It is unclear if she was describing being upset at the break-up with Mr Richardson, which was thought to have been in 2017, or a split from a subsequent partner.

One of Mr Richardson's family friends said: 'Everything was great for a couple of years. We genuinely thought they were on track to marry and have kids. 

'It was a serious relationship. There is no doubt that Luke was really in love with Simone and the feeling was clearly reciprocated.'

The source said that Miss Ashley quickly became 'like one of the family', but added: 'The closer they seemed to get together, the more Luke seemed to get cold feet.

'The way it ended was that it came down to this issue of him not wanting to stay in LA. They did the long-distance thing for a while, and that didn't really work.'
