EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Amanda Cronin reveals beautiful romance with skincare guru Peter Thomas Roth
When super-rich divorcee Amanda Cronin revealed in May that she and Wham! star Andrew Ridgeley had split up, she told me: ‘Andrew is such a phenomenal guy, but I don’t think he’s really relationship material.’
Now, I can disclose that the former model, 54, has found love with a man who lives up to her demanding expectations. He is multi-millionaire skincare ‘guru’ Peter Thomas Roth, 65.
‘Peter and I are spending time together at his new Southampton New York waterfront mansion,’ she confirms. ‘I’m having fun and relaxing. He’s the best company: smart, super-handsome, successful and a family man.’
It’s a match made in heaven for London-based Miss Cronin because she’s a beauty entrepreneur herself. ‘We are in the same business, which is interesting,’ she tells me.
Amanda, who was the subject of Channel 4 programme The Millionairess And Me last year, has known Roth since she split up with her second husband, Monaco energy mogul Mark Daeche, in 2019.

‘We met in Monaco during my separation and our kids are close,’ says Miss Cronin, who has a daughter from her first marriage. Roth is a divorced father with two sons.
Since his marriage to American interior designer Noreen Donovan Roth ended, he’s been linked to Hollywood actress Anne Heche, who died in a car crash last summer, and Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
Amanda, who’s said to have ‘the longest legs in Belgravia’, is not fazed by the distance between them. ‘Separate homes, and even separate countries, is so good for the relationship,’ she tells me.
Although she remains friendly with Ridgeley, 60, she adds: ‘My type has changed because my criteria have changed. I now look at a man’s heart and really look for kindness.
‘Peter has been very supportive and helped me a lot, especially with distribution [of her company’s products] in the U.S. As an up-and-coming skincare brand, his influence is key.’
There was a time when a connection to TV star Phillip Schofield might have boosted the price of a property. These days, it seems to reduce it.
I hear that the disgraced This Morning presenter has slashed the asking price of his London flat, where it’s claimed he had secret trysts with his toyboy lover.
Schofield, 61, put the immaculate two-bedroom penthouse flat, which he owns with his estranged wife, Stephanie, on the market for £1.2 million in May. Now, the price has been cut by £85,000, to £1.15 million.
Schofield would take his junior colleague for secret trysts at the property before the studio runner left the next morning in a taxi paid for by ITV, Eamonn Holmes claimed
Suki’s fashion flop
She’s an actress, model and singer, as well as girlfriend of The Batman star Robert Pattinson, but Suki Waterhouse appears to be a fashion victim.
Amid much fanfare, the plastic surgeon’s daughter launched an accessories brand, Pop & Suki, with her chum, the TV presenter and mental health campaigner Poppy Jamie, in 2016.
It sold items such as ‘takeout’ style box bags for £206 and chunky gold bracelets for £120. Suki said she ‘screams with excitement’ when her designs are worn by famous names including the Princess of Wales’s sister, Pippa, pop superstars Beyonce and Lady Gaga, as well as Paris Hilton and Georgia May Jagger.
Now, however, Pop & Suki appears to have gone quietly out of business. The brand has been deadly silent for nearly two years and its last Instagram post was in December 2021.
When you try to buy any item on its website, a message pops up that says: ‘This store can’t accept payments right now.’
Let’s hope Suki’s not screaming in anguish…
Is Poppy about to take the plunge with her Prince?
Some said Poppy Delevingne’s new romance would be fleeting when I disclosed in February that she was going out with Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark, who is 13 years her junior.
The actress’s relationship with Alexios, a godson of Prince William, is, however, going from strength to strength.
Poppy, 37, the sister of top model Cara Delevingne, is pictured canoodling with the tattooed bachelor aboard a yacht in Ibiza.
‘The age difference doesn’t bother them at all,’ one of their friends tells me.
Poppy is estranged from her husband, the businessman James Cook, whom she married in 2014.

David Cameron was once interrupted during a newspaper interview by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, a contemporary at Eton, ringing his mobile. The TV personality is clearly less close to Rishi Sunak.
Yesterday, Hugh praised the Greenpeace activists who invaded the Prime Minister’s home and even suggested they damage his property next time. ‘I love Greenpeace, especially when they do this kind of stuff,’ he said.
‘Perhaps they could fill up his swimming pool with oil. He seems to love the stuff so much, I’m sure he’d enjoy wallowing in it.’ Isn’t Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall a prize chump?
Will Savannah spring into Zara’s footsteps?
Zara Tindall won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics and was once voted BBC Sports Personality Of The Year, but could her niece be aiming for new heights?
I ask only because Savannah Phillips demonstrated her athleticism at the Festival of British Eventing yesterday as she enjoyed jumping on a trampoline, above right.
Zara, left, 42, was competing at the Festival of British Eventing at her mother Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
Sporty Savannah is the elder daughter of Zara’s brother, Peter Phillips, and his ex-wife, Autumn Kelly.
He’s unlikely to struggle with the subscription fees thanks to his two-year ‘Love On Tour’ odyssey which concluded two weeks ago after generating more than £460 million in ticket sales.
So could Harry Styles be about to treat himself to membership of Sunningdale Golf Club, in Berkshire, which levies an ‘initiation’ fee of £92,000 and an annual sub of £9,500?
The club declines to comment, but it seems unlikely that Styles’s occasionally adventurous dress sense will prove a handicap
I ask because the 29-year-old has, I’m told, been in action on one of Sunningdale’s two courses. ‘He’s been there recently,’ one devotee tells me, adding that Styles, who has an estimated £150 million personal fortune, should slot in very nicely at Sunningdale. ‘Plenty of millionaires play there, and the odd billionaire or two.’
The club declines to comment, but it seems unlikely that Styles’s occasionally adventurous dress sense will prove a handicap. ‘It’s full of people who are rather flash,’ says another visitor.
(Very) modern manners
Talk about the Naked Chef! TV cook Gizzi Erskine didn’t need to worry about what to wear to a London dinner party, as she turned up completely nude, as did the other guests.
‘I came across a post on Instagram which claims “a liberating space that celebrates our most pure selves through… nourishing food, art, nudity and self-love”,’ explains the daughter of the 2nd Lord Erskine of Rerrick.
‘I see scars, I see dimples, I see imperfections, I see stories of survival, and I feel proud of us all for being there, full stop — let alone to bare our breasts, pubic hair and vulvas,’ Gizzi gushes.
‘It’s poetry in motion. A pre-Raphaelite painting.’
Careful with that soup!
