Couples look forward to a whole load of exciting events at the start of a flowing relationship.
Whether that's meeting the friends and family, attending a work event together, booking your first trip away or saying those special three little words to each other - we all love a romantic turning point.
And none other than Louise Redknapp, 49, has just shared hers after taking the next step in her relationship with her new boyfriend, London businessman, Drew, 39.
The Eternal singer has hit the latest milestone with her new chap after making the relationship Instagram official earlier this afternoon (7 November).

She shared a series of photos celebrating Drew's birthday on her feed, as well as her Instagram story to her 807k followers.
The first of three pics showed the loved-up pair cosying up at a fancy candlelit restaurant with Drew's arm around Louise as she leant back into his embrace.
The second snap included Louise's eldest son, 19-year-old Charley, who she shares alongside 15-year-old Beau with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp whom she divorced from back in 2017.
The third and final upload from the photo dump was a gif of Louise doing peace signs while Drew smiled at the camera.

The 'I Wanna Be The Only One' hit-maker captioned the post: "Have a great day @thedrew.michael Happy Birthday x" accompanied with a champagne flute cheers emoji.

"Omg I love this," added another. "You look so happy Louise, you go girl!!"
"I think this is what we call a hard launch," penned a final Instagram user.
It sure is.
Since Louise and Jamie's divorce, the 50-year-old former footballer has now remarried and had a baby with 38-year-old model Frida Andersson.

During this period, Louise maintained that staying single would be best for their two boys.
"I’ve felt this as a mum and, to say this in the most sort of respectful way, my boys' lives changed dramatically and then it changed again when obviously Jamie got married and had a family," she told the Mirror earlier this year in September.
"Their life changed and I felt like I needed to be their one staple.”
