An insider told US outlet Page Six that the blonde beauty, who has also starred in movies like Napoleon and Eden, and Paul, 39, have taken the next step with their relationship.

The couple first sparked dating rumours when they were photographed holding hands on a walk around New York City in 2022.

And it took a whole 13 months for Vanessa and Paul to go Instagram official and confirm their romance to the world.

In November 2023, Paul posted cute pics and a heartfelt message, confirming his romance with the star from The Crown.

In his caption, Paul gushed: “From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you.”

Just 20 weeks ago, one person commented on the post and said: “Put a ring on it.”

And 51 weeks ago someone else said: “Looooooove the fact that you’re together.”

WHO IS PAUL RABIL?

Paul is an American sports executive and retired professional lacrosse player.

He is currently the president of the Premier Lacrosse League, which he co-founded with his brother, league CEO Mike Rabil.

The sports star was previously married to former lacrosse player Kelly Berger.

The pair got married in 2014 but split in 2017.

VANESSA’S PAST RELATIONSHIP WITH HOLLYWOOD HUNK

Vanessa was previously romantically linked to Hollywood actor Callum Turner.

In 2020, the pair split after four years together.

Representatives for the actress, who won a Bafta for her role as a young Princess Margaret in the Netflix series, confirmed that the pair have separated.

At the time, the source told us: “Vanessa and Callum are both rising stars in the acting world and in the last few years they have been flooded with offers.

“It’s a really exciting time for them both.

“But as their careers have taken off, their relationship has suffered and they have gradually grown apart.

“It’s very sad as they were once so close.

“But last year they made the difficult decision to go their separate ways and they both think it’s for the best.

“It’s all very amicable — things just weren’t working out.”
