The Duchess of York is known to have a severe case of the ex.

Sarah Ferguson is constantly linked to her former hubby and real-life Prince Charming, Andrew of York.

But the red-haired Duchess has potentially rekindled with another flame.

Over the weekend, the 57-year-old was snapped with her old friend and rumoured ex-boyfriend, Manuel Fernandez.

The pair put on a cosy display as they cuddled up at the Celebrity Fight Night event in Rome.

The former couple seemed very pleased to be with one another.

The 57-year-old looked stunning in a floor-length navy sequinned frock.

Fergie and Manuel allegedly parted ways last year, but judging from their Mambo Italiano… They’ve still got a tango or two left in them.

Onlookers couldn’t help but notice how relaxed the duo were with one another.

The pair continued their night and partied on with pals Antonio Banderas and his long-term girlfriend Nicole Kimpel.

The Duchess of York was first linked to the 51-year-old half-Irish half-Spanish businessman back in 2014 after a mutual friend introduced them.

With their famous pals Antonio Banderas and his girlfriend Nicole Kimpel.

Manuel is a regular fixture in Fergie’s life, pictured in 2015 at the FIA Formula E Visa London ePrix with Princess Beatrice.

Sarah has never publicly confirmed their romance, instead telling the Daily Mail, “Manuel is a wonderful person, but we are just friends – friends and business partners. I’m the ambassador for his new lifestyle app, vVoosh, which is launching this year.”

While Manuel remarked they’d “always been friends.”

Pals of the mum-of-two shared she was “besotted” with mogul and had no qualms over their eight-year age gap.

Sarah and Manuel reportedly split in March 2016.

Fergie is said to have been “besotted” by the handsome businessman.

Fergie takes the crown when it comes to being friendly with an ex.

The Duchess lived in Windsor at the Royal Lodge with Prince Andrew up until August 2015… Nearly 20 years after they divorced.

The couple, who share daughters Princess Beatrice, 29, and Princess Eugenie, 27, reportedly purchased a nearly $17 million ski lodge in Switzerland last year.

They also regularly attend royal events, charity engagements, and outings with their daughters as a family.

Speaking of their bond, Sarah confessed, “We’re divorced to each other right now [but] we’ve never really left each other.”

And who can forget when she remarked in 2013, “He’s still my handsome prince, he’ll always be my handsome prince.”

Manuel, you may have some competition!

Sarah and Andrew have remained dear friends.
