Holden has also been teasing the world with coy Instragram posts alluding to the new lady in his life.
“Sat here thinking about how different the day would of been if I missed my flight,” he captioned one shirtless pic.
“Can’t beat that feeling when you get to see her again,” he wrote beside another.
