The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star has been secretly seeing the 25-year-old 'Geordie Shore' hunk for several months and the pair went public with their romance at London's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland last week.
A source told The Sun: "It was a very romantic date, they were holding hands through out.
"They looked completely loved up and really enjoyed the day out."
Lauren, 34, previously admitted she had developed a crush on Aaron after meeting him on a night out.
She said: "I was DJing at a club and he was there.
"We had a very funny, drunken night. We went to bed at 6am!"
If he asked me out then yeah, I'm sure I would! I do love the accent.
"I think Aaron is the hottest on the show and my type is tattoos and a beard, so he fits the bill."
Lauren - who quit 'TOWIE' last year following a five-year run - recently admitted it was tough to find love because she spends her time commuting between Devon, where her business Hair Rehab London is based, and London for other work ventures.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz about her love life, the blonde beauty said: "I am based down in Devon at the moment, that's where our office is and that's where our warehouse is, because my family work with me as well, my dad, my sisters, so because I have been down here a lot and then I come up to London for work it's so tricky arranging things.
"I literally have lived on a train the last few months, I've been up and down on trains but when I can it's nice.
"When I'm in London, especially when I stay in a hotel, it's nice to go for a drink or go for dinner with someone. I am just talking to guys."
