He's rarely seen without a glamorous female on his arm and his back catalogue reads like a who's who of reality TV stars.
Now footballer Jermain Defoe appears to have worked his charm again.
But this time the Tottenham player has reportedly scored with singer Alexandra Burke.
New couple? Former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke reportedly started dating footballer Jermain Defoe a few weeks ago
The pair have been friends for years but they have now made their relationship romantic.
Former X Factor winner Alexandra was reportedly spotted enjoying a romantic dinner with Jermain at the Landmark Hotel in North London last night.
Staff at the venue reportedly spotted the stars walking hand-in-hand as they begin to make their romance public.
Ladies man: The footballer has a long line of previous female conquests in the public eye
The pair have been friends for seven years but have only just decided to turn their relationship romantic
Alexandra has been friends with the sports man for seven years but they've only decided to make their union romantic in the last few weeks.
A source tells The Sun: 'Alexandra had been playing hard to get and a lot of flirting was going on. She finally gave in the other week and they took things further.'
Serial dater: Jermain has enjoyed romances with a number of reality TV stars... including Danielle Lloyd and Chantelle Houghton
...And Imogen Thomas is also one of his former flames
'They are both really happy and looking forward to meeting up more often when she comes off her UK tour.'
Alexandra's love life has been pretty low key since she burst into the spotlight by winning The X Factor in 2008.
She was loosely linked with Kelly Brook's ex Danny Cipriani, while she split from childhood friend Nicholas Sagar early last year.
But Defoe's love life has been somewhat more of a public rollercoaster.
The footballer has dated former Big Brother star Imogen Thomas, as well as Celebrity Big Brother alumni Chantelle Houghton and Danielle Lloyd.
Chantelle split from Jermain in 2009 amid reports he cheated on her.
And he was also previously engaged to blonde reality star Charlotte Mears, but their relationship met a similar fate when he dumped her for Danielle.
