Steven Bartlett has rekindled his romance with his ex-girlfriend, after flying 22 hours to Bali to win her back.
The Dragon's Den star has struck up a romance with French entrepreneur Melanie Vaz Lopes once again, after previously calling it quits due to his dedication to his businesses.
Steven, 29, confirmed the romantic reunion during The Diary of a CEO Live show on Monday - with some audience members convinced he was about to propose at one point!
The multi-millionaire and Melanie first met in 2016 and began dating four years ago, but split due to by the businessman's own admission that he couldn't communicate with her between "seven in the morning and nine o' clock at night".
But speaking on stage on Monday, The Social Chain founder explained how flew 22 hours to Bali in a bid to win back Melanie, who fell in love with him all over again.
Beau Melanie watched on in the Royal Box at the London Palladium, in tears as Steven shared their love story with the audience.
The business mogul's romantic confessions were aired in front of a star-studded audience, that included the likes of Marvin and Rochelle Humes, Olympic boxer James Degale, and singer Beverly Knight.
Steven went on to confess his love for Melanie during the opening night of The Diary of a CEO tour, with the House Gospel Choir singing Stevie Wonder's I'll Be Loving You Always, as love heart confetti fell from the ceiling during the romantic gesture.
"It was a huge romantic moment – everyone thought it was part of a big proposal, he didn't get down on one knee but it's clear Melanie is The One," one audience member told the MailOnline after the show.
Melanie, who runs beauty and wellbeing business Auraya, met Steven thanks to Instagram in 2016, after striking up a conversation under one of the the entrepreneur's relationship videos.
Seemingly speaking about their split in the past, the Dragon's Den star admitted his focus on making money impacts his romantic relationships.
"I've just come out of a long-term relationship that's lasted… well, in my mind it's long-term because I've never had a relationship other than this one, for about a year," he explained on his YouTube channel.
"That relationship was fantastic and all those things that relationships should be but unfortunately because of my lack of time and my lack of mental focus, and the amount of things I have competing for my attention every single day, that relationship fell apart."
He went on to explain how his unnamed former girlfriend, most likely Melanie, struggled with his failure to recognise anyone 'exists' when he's working on his business.
"The way it is with me, between the hours of say seven in the morning and nine o' clock at night, I am in the zone, I've got total tunnel vision," the entrepreneur admitted.
"I honestly do not realise that there's anyone else outside of my business and rooms I sit in that exists in terms of my personal and private life."
He continued: "So if my family or girlfriend text me, or message me during the day, the chances of me engaging in that meaningfully in that period is virtually impossible.
"In the evenings I'm often consumed with the day and I find it hard to switch off and engage with other relationships and that also costs those relationships."
