Bella Thorne is spending quality time with her fiancé in Italy!

The singer and actress, 25, looked sensational in an LBD as she enjoyed a date night with her fiancé Mark Emms in Taormina, Italy, on Friday. The pair’s vacation outing comes following the announcement of their engagement in May after nine months of dating.

Thorne and her film and television producer fiancé were pictured in happy spirits in matching black outfits as they walked the streets of Italy with a friend. That same evening, Thorne was snapped at the afterparty of The Absence of Eden premiere, rocking the same LBD.

On Thursday, Thorne premiered her own film Paint Her Red at the 69th Taormina Film Festival in her directorial short debut. The film is based on an original screenplay, which Thorne also wrote and stars in. It showcases “an unapologetic narrative, both painful and beautiful, exploring the journey of women,” according to a press statement obtained by Variety.

Thorne described the project as a “labor of love” ahead of the premiere in a candid post on Instagram last week. Her career milestone comes after a major milestone in her personal life — now that she is engaged!

The couple started dating in August 2022 after meeting at Cara Delevingne's birthday party in Ibiza, Vogue reported.
