Our exclusive pictures captured the couple on a romantic holiday in Marbella, Spain, last week before he joined his Oranje teammates.

They stared adoringly into one another’s eyes as they enjoyed a three-hour meal at The Grill.

An onlooker said: “They looked absolutely smitten. Micky was doe-eyed all night.

“It was such a beautiful setting and they looked so happy.”

The source added: “They talked and laughed all night before heading back to their room shortly before midnight.”

Ella, who has nearly 1 million online fans, posted several images from their sun-kissed trip on Instagram.

Snaps of their idyllic beachside swimming pool were followed by more taken at breakfast and dinner, from the patio of their cute ground-floor room, as well as hazy sunbathing selfies and sizzling bikini shots.

The al fresco restaurant they were pictured in is a short distance from their £1,000-a-night room at the five-star Marbella Club Hotel.

The couple earlier spent the day lounging around the luxury pool before a long lunch at trendy Nobu, a few minutes walk away on the beach.

Sporty Ella also donned a white number during their getaway as the new couple played a round of golf.

Our source added: “Micky is due to join up with his teammates for the World Cup shortly.

“This was a special break after a difficult season with Spurs – and things are looking up.”

Beaming £80million-rated star van de Ven led Tottenham to a last-gasp escape from relegation on the final day of the season.

They jetted to Marbella in the wake of a 1-0 final day win against Everton that secured survival by the skin of their teeth.

If the 25-year-old’s performances in the closing stages of the Premier League season are anything to go by it would be fair to say she has had a positive impact on his game.

His new romance with Ella comes after he split from stunning lover Sterre van Bakel.

Ella, a and nut, has won an army of more than 700,00 TikTok and 136,000 Instagram fans by sharing saucy snaps of her globe-trotting.

But her following is likely to explode when the World Cup gets underway in a little over a week’s time.

Recent trips abroad include Santorini, Dubai, Mykonos, Ibiza, Bali and Rhodes.

It is a far cry from her days as a pupil at £45,000-a-year Repton School in Derbyshire whose alumni includes Sun columnist Jeremy Clarkson and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl.

She went on to study fashion at Manchester Metropolitan University and has since posed for brands including Asos, Adidas, Goose and Gander, Cernucci and Outcast Clothing.

The well-spoken supporter is also a huge tennis fan and a regular at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
