The pair seem to have been dating for quite some time with some posts dating back to 2017.
The rising star shared a snap from the Natural History Museum of the couple ice skating.
She captioned the imaged to her 56,000 Instagram followers: “I love you like I love my food #bella #xfactor #girlfriend #iceskating.”
During the Judges’ Houses stage of the show, she said: “My ambition is to become a singer but in doing that I want to become an advocate for change, whatever that means to a person.
“What that means to me that’s gone from being so low to doing something I love and appreciating life more.”
Bella performed LGBT anthem Same Love by Macklemore at Judges’ Houses and is now being hailed as an advocate and champion of the community.
She told the Daily Star: “You know, I don’ t think we should be treated any differently.
“I don’t think they should be like, ‘Oh right, we’ve got to have at least a couple of LGBT contestants’.
“I think we should all be given a level playing field and if that means that some of us LGBT contestants aren’t as good as the straight community then so be it as at the end of the day, it shouldn’t be judged on anything like that.”
