The pair smiled and laughed towards one another in the snaps
Wes, 24, smiled wide as he placed an arm about actress Arianna, 26, at a star-studded celebrity bash in London last week.
Dressing up for the occasion, the singing star could be seen wearing beige trousers, a white top and brightly coloured jumper as he accessorised with a large silver chain.
Meanwhile, Coronation Street‘s Arianna, who is known for playing Olivia Radfield on the soap, donned a stunning white corset dress.
She completed her look with a fluffy white handbag and white high heels, as well as a glamorous make-up look and gold jewellery.
Holding drinks in their hands, Wes cosied up to the actress in the two cosy snaps as they turned to each other to smile and laugh.
Wes was just one of many stars at Arianna’s fashion label launch last week – Mars The Label – as she celebrated it going online.
She looked cosy with Wes, who recently split from his millionaire model girlfriend Lucciana Beynon after almost two years together.
The Love Island star turned music sensation called time on their romance after they struggled to make time for each other.
Wes and Australian model Lucciana went public in January this year after dating for eight months away from the public eye.
They have since split and unfollowed one another on social media.
A source said: “Wes has a hugely busy schedule and so does Lucciana. While they did care for each other it became difficult for them to keep that connection so they split.”
Wes, who launched his music career back in 2020 with his single See Nobody, hinted at the break up during an interview on Capital XTRA.
He said: “There’s been a lot that’s happened in my life over the past year and a half, including a breakup. That was quite recently.”
Wes said he was in a good place however, adding: “Look at me, still shining. Can’t keep a good man down. I’m good with breakups.”
Lucianna is the daughter of a millionaire tobacco tycoon and met Wes through pals – and the pair confirmed they were dating in January.
