Johnny tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight, and very rarely shares photos of his partner online. It’s thought he was introduced to Vanessa through mutual friends in early 2017 and later whisked her off to the luxurious Marbella Club Golf Resort and Spa in Spain for a romantic holiday.
