Jamey said it was Lara (44), who helped her get over a bitter split from ex-boyfriend Andrew Driver, a footballer who played for British club Hearts. Lara and Jamey (24) are both born in Trinidad, and while Lara has previously disclosed his affection for Jamey on Twitter, she hasn&rsquo;t done so until now.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s early days. I didn&rsquo;t want anyone to know, but Brian&rsquo;s been declaring his love all over the place,&rdquo; Jamey said on Thursday in Edinburgh, where she is scheduled to lead the annual carnival.
&lsquo;Didn&rsquo;t know him&rsquo; Jamey and Lara were&nbsp;introduced to each other by ex-Manchester United star Dwight Yorke. &ldquo;We have been kind of seeing each other for a couple of months. Dwight introduced us at his summer fete and we hit it off. I had been away from Trinidad for many years and know nothing about cricket, so I didn&rsquo;t really know who he was. But he was a bit mysterious, flirty and fun.&rdquo;
Jamey was shattered after her former boyfriend Driver, who quit Scotland to play for Major League Soccer&rsquo;s for Houston Dynamos, one day returned with his new&nbsp;girlfriend. &ldquo;It was a very difficult time for me. I just found out before Christmas that he had a new girlfriend when he came home to Scotland with her. That was the closure I needed to be able to move on with my life and that&rsquo;s when Brian and I started getting closer.&rdquo;
Jamey said she was hesitant to take things forward with Larta initially. &ldquo;I had dated a footballer before and now Brian was this cricket superstar. I wasn&rsquo;t sure if I wanted to go there. But we&rsquo;ve been having fun and it&rsquo;s slowly progressed from there. He&rsquo;s been in Trinidad and I&rsquo;ve been in Scotland, so it&rsquo;s mostly been Skype and phone calls.&rdquo;
Twenty-year age gap Speak of the 20-year age gap between the two and Jamey is quick to dismiss it. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t make a difference to me, and my mum thinks he&rsquo;s great. It&rsquo;s nice to have a mature man who knows what he wants.&rdquo;
Meanwhile Lara, who has two daughters Sydney (17) and Tyla (3) with Windies&rsquo; model and journalist Leasel Rovedas (37), has already spoken about Jamey on social media. In Edinburgh last December, he tweeted: &ldquo;At the Missoni Hotel chilling in my room visiting my girlfriend. Not much to do, it&rsquo;s freezing outside.&rdquo;
Then, after spending Christmas with his daughters he tweeted: &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t wait to see @jameybowers.&rdquo;
