Amelia Gray Hamlin, the 24-year-old model, has found a new love interest in Nicolai Marciano, the heir to the Guess Inc. clothing empire. Their romance was launched in style as they made their red carpet debut together at the GQ Men of the Year party on November 13th. "My man," Amelia gushed as she gazed over at Nicolai, 29, posing for cameras during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "He's so cute. Look at him! Oh, my God. He's so good; I love him so much."
Although their romance is still fresh, the couple have known each other since childhood when Nicolai was a classmate of Amelia's sister, Delilah Belle Hamlin, 27. "I've known him for maybe 15 years now," Amelia shared. "He was on the bus to middle school with my sister, so I've just known him all my life. We've grown up together in LA, and it just worked out in divine timing like everything does in life."
For their special occasion, Amelia and her new boyfriend dressed in Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann, which she explained made their first public appearance together even more special. "This is a big special moment for me, being on a carpet with someone I love very dearly for the first time," she said. "We're honored to be in Haider, both of our favorite designers ever. We were like, 'What's the craziest dream we can do together? Maybe we can do Tom Ford.'"
When asked if she was thinking about taking any "next steps" in her relationship, Amelia—whose parents are Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin—didn't hold back. "For the first time ever, I am—and that's all I can say," she explained.
A few days later, ahead of a party celebrating the launch of her collaboration with Frame denim, Amelia teased that Nicolai had had a hand in putting her look together for the evening. In an Instagram Story posted on November 18th, Amelia posed for a selfie while wearing a fur coat and holding up a pink Miu Miu purse and wrote, "my boyfriend styled me lol."
