Rachel Gorry thanked her followers for being so supportive

The mum thanked her followers for being so unbelievably kind to her following the announcement.

She said it meant a lot to receive such loving messages from so many people.

Speaking about her new relationship, Rachel confirmed that she wants to keep her partner's identity private.

She explained that she won't be featuring him on her socials.

"Regarding my new boyfriend, partner…I don't know what you say! It's so weird to say that! I've decided I'm going to keep my private life private. I hope you understand that. I won't be having him on my socials and stuff like that," she said.

However, she did thank her followers for sharing such kind words with her following the news.

"I wanted to come on just to thank you all. I knew that there was going to be some people that were really happy because I see it all the time in messages and Q&As, people are always like, "I'd love to see you happy and I'd love to see you with somebody. You're too young to spend your life on your own."

Rachel admitted that she never thought her post would receive as much love as it did.

"I couldn't have imagined the response to the post. I genuinely was blown away and overwhelmed. Reading some of the things, I was actually so emotional."

The mum said she has a pain in her face from smiling so much.

Rachel sadly lost her husband Daniel to cancer four years ago so seeing her find love again has made so many people happy. The influencer's followers all agreed that everyone deserves a chance at love after going through so much heartbreak.
