The former 'Made in Chelsea' star - who has two-year-old daughter India with JP - has been dating businessman Max Fredrik Darnton since January, and the couple are already set to take the next step in their relationship as they are looking to buy a house together.
On the day they met at Soho Farmhouse, Binky told HELLO! magazine: "I was at the bar ordering cocktails, and Max came up to me and said, 'So, how are you, what do you do?' And the first thing I said was, 'I'm a mum!'
"I was so nervous about him not knowing that I had a child, so I wanted to get it out there before he asked me any more questions, just to see if he was going to run off or not.
"But his reply was, 'OK ... And?' That was so nice and put me really at ease right away."
The 29-year-old beauty split from JP last September, 15 months after their little girl was born, and admitted she wasn't expecting to find a new partner "so soon" after the breakup, but she feels "incredibly lucky" to have found Max.
She said: "I just didn't know it would be so soon, and I didn't know that this would be how I feel.
"I'm incredibly lucky to have met him."
On their plans to live together, she said: "Things are going so nicely, so we'll be looking - together! - for a big house in London with a garden - for India, and so that Max can get a dog."
Max has described the relationship as "completely natural and chilled" and admitted he feels "settled".
He added: "We're both very different but equally as driven and ambitious.
"We find each other funny - not many other people do! - and it's completely natural and chilled.
"I feel very lucky to have met her. We really connect. I feel settled, and it feels normal.
"And India is amazing - I look at them both together and it's really sweet. They have an incredible relationship."
Binky and JP were in an on/off relationship when they first started seeing each other during episode 10 of the E4 reality series in August 2015.
After a brief break, the pair got back together in March 2017, just weeks before Binky found out she was expecting India.
