A source told The Sun: 'Bear and Elizabeth met when he did a personal appearance at Kosho in Romford – it was a night called Fraternity – and he was sitting at a table and they got talking.

'They stayed in contact and got to know each other and they’ve been seeing each other ever since. She’s even met his mum and dad. Elizabeth is a really nice girl… She’s 18, really good fun and a sweet girl.'
According to the newspaper, the blonde teen has even been given Stephen's blessing to post pictures of them together across her social media accounts.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Stephen for comment.
As reports swirl about Stephen's dating life, his ex Charlotte – who recently described herself as being on the 'heartbreak diet – is vacationing in Dubai.

And on Wednesday, she took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a sizzling snapshot of her body as she lounged on a beach.
The former Geordie Shore star, 27, took a snapshot of herself resting on a sun lounger on the golden shores of the popular tourist destination as she wore a skimpy bronze bikini, in which she displayed her incredibly taut stomach and lean legs.
A day earlier, Charlotte took to the image-sharing app to upload a snapshot of herself sitting in the first class cabin as she made her way over to the United Arab Emirates for her winter sunshine break.
'Let the festivities begin,' Charlotte captioned the picture, as she prepared to take off with In The Style co-founders Jamie Corbett and Adam Frisby.

Tough time: Charlotte Crosby has admitted she's been struggling to eat after her turbulent split from Stephen
Charlotte, who split from her Just Tattoo Of Us co-host for good last month, said her svelte frame is down to the 'heartbreak diet'.
And faced with spending the festive period as a singleton, she confessed that she doesn't like Christmas any more and will 'probably stay in bed all day'.
She told Closer magazine: 'I'm in good shape at the moment as I'm on the heartbreak diet. No Ben & Jerry's or Christmas cake for me – I can't eat.'
Discussing her Christmas plans, she added: 'I'll probably have my family round to my house up in Newcastle. You've got to have family around you at this time of year, haven't you?
'But having said that, I've decided I don't like Christmas. I'll probably stay in bed all day – it's actually just like any other boring day.'

The former Celebrity Big Brother star's comments come after she was spotted passionately kissing Ex On The Beach star Joshua Ritchie at a boxing match at the weekend.
Charlotte confirmed her status as a 'strong and single' woman last month, following her break-up from Stephen.
She and Bear had been plagued by splits in the last few weeks of their 11-month romance, with the duo seeming to split and reunite on several occasions.
However, according to The Sun, Bear insisted their relationship is over for good, as he claimed he is 'free and single' and wants his next girlfriend to be someone who is not in the public eye.

He said: 'We're just friends, I'm single, she's single, we're just mates and I think that's the best way for now.
'I'm just not ready to date at the moment, to sit next to anyone and start talking to them, or start ringing people up and asking to do something. The next girlfriend I have, I'd like to be someone that no one knows.'
The couple hit a crisis after the former scaffold worker was pictured heading home from a Halloween party with a mystery brunette in tow, amid claims of a reconciliation with Charlotte.
Charlotte's roller-coaster romance with Stephen seemingly came to a screeching halt in October and had appeared to be acrimonious at first, with the couple being plagued by 'cheating' claims and Charlotte feuding with Bear's family on Twitter.

They were then seen 'kissing' and reportedly 'spent the night' together following the MTV EMAs held in November, but their reunion allegedly got off to a bumpy start with the duo becoming embroiled in 'screaming matches' before getting close again.
An onlooker told The Sun: 'Charlotte and Bear were all over the place. One second they were kissing, cuddling and laughing, and the next they were having screaming matches.'
Romance first blossomed for the pair early last year while presenting their joint MTV series Just Tattoo Of Us.
Since their split, it has been confirmed that Bear has left Just Tattoo Of Us and will no longer present the show alongside Charlotte, with Scotty T stepping in to replace the star for its third series.
