Ladies’ man Gerard Butler is said to be 'settling down’ with a mystery woman named April after The Gazette reported how he’d been eyeing up historical property Johnstone Castle.

We reported how locals were hoping the A-list celebrity may have splashed out on the town’s tower house after it was revealed he started searching for his dream baronial home.

But the latest news is that the 45-year-old actor is enjoying a blossoming romance with a 25-year-old Johnstone model after they were spotted cuddling up to one another in a popular boozer.

The lady in question — who is signed up to a top Scottish agency — is said to have been left 'smitten’ since they met at the secret ceremony last month.

“They are already discussing getting married — it’s moving really fast,” a source told The Gazette. “We know Gerard is a bit of a ladies man but she’s nobody’s fool, she has him wrapped round her little finger.

“April has a brilliant career of her own and she’s been all over the world travelling for shoots.

“She caught Gerard’s attention right away, then the pair never left each other’s sides all night.

The source added: “He’s also mentioned the fact he’d like to get married in Renfrewshire, where they both grew up.”
