N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos turned heads with a stylish appearance during a night out in Manchester this week. The 37-year-old music star was spotted enjoying an evening with a friend at the Dear Sailor venue on Sunday, showcasing a chic and confident look.
A Glamorous Manchester Evening
Tulisa made a striking impression in a figure-hugging nude bodysuit, which she paired with a pair of thigh-high boots. She layered the ensemble under a sophisticated long white dress coat, featuring long sleeves and distinctive brown buttons. Her accessories included a white leather handbag slung over her shoulder, large hoop earrings, and a black ringed choker, completing a full glam makeup look.
This public outing follows reports that the hitmaker has found happiness with new partner, billionaire cannabis mogul Maximillian White. A source close to the singer revealed that Max "treats her like a princess" and that the pair have been on several low-key dates, getting on very well.
New Romance and Personal Growth
The developing relationship with White, who owns one of Europe's largest medical cannabis farms, a record company, and a beach pub in Portimão, Portugal, seems to mark a positive new chapter for Tulisa. In September, he whisked her away on a romantic trip to Portugal, the location of his business. The singer, who had previously spoken about being demisexual and celibate, hinted in August that she may have found love, confirming she was no longer celibate.
The source added that both are self-made individuals with a strong work ethic, which has become a bonding point. "Tulisa is a self-made woman and they both have the same drive and work ethic which is something they have bonded over. Tulisa is very happy," they told The Sun.
Overcoming Past Trauma
This period of apparent contentment comes after years of personal struggle for the singer. Tulisa endured a traumatic high-profile court case in 2012 after an ex-boyfriend, Justin Edwards, released a sex tape of her without consent. She has described the experience as feeling like "virtual rape," leaving her feeling judged, disgusting, and ashamed.
On Jaime Laing's Great Company podcast earlier this year, she explained that the ordeal continues to affect her relationships and intimacy to this day. At the time, with revenge porn not yet illegal, her only legal recourse was to secure a court apology from Edwards after a lengthy lawsuit.
Reflecting on her journey, Tulisa has adopted a philosophy of growth from pain. "Now, for me, all pain is growth," she told Olivia Attwood's podcast. "So, every single part of my experiences I was meant to feel and I wouldn't be the person I am today without them." She stated she holds no regret, viewing her path as one she was meant to live.
Her current approach to relationships remains defined by her demisexuality. She clarified that finding someone she is physically attracted to is "few and far between," and that a deep emotional connection is a prerequisite for her. "I don't think about having sex with them until I start building quite a deep emotional connection and it takes a long time to get to that place," she explained.
Representatives for Tulisa Contostavlos were contacted for comment regarding her new relationship but have not provided a statement.
