Chappers is dating Dubai estate agent Clere Collier
It is his first relationship since wife Sara died of cancer in 2020 aged 44.
Divorced mum-of-two Clere, 43 — based in Dubai — had been romantically linked with pop singer Dane Bowers, 44.
She uses her contacts in the Emirates to invest in London’s property market.
Clere makes regular UK trips for work and to spend time with Mark in Manchester, where the BBC broadcaster is based.
A source said: “It’s early days but Mark and Clere are in a good place and enjoying each other’s company.
“Mark’s focus has always been his children and work, so a relationship was unexpected.
“He and Clere are taking things slow and just seeing how it all plays out, but it’s clear to see they are really into each other.”
Mark, who had three children with wife of 19 years Sara, is a Radio 5 Live regular and occasionally steps in for Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
He also fronts Sky Sports’ Carabao Cup coverage and is regarded as one of the industry’s most talented presenters.
Mark, affectionately known as Chappers, made his name as the sports presenter for Radio 1’s Newsbeat and was part of Sara Cox’s team when she hosted the station’s Breakfast Show.
He later went on to perform the same role for Scott Mills before going on to become a fixture at 5 Live and BBC television, which also saw him front the corporation’s NFL coverage before it moved to Channel 4.
