During the holiday on the Caribbean isle of St Barts, British singer Lily Allen, 23, was caught passionately kissing a millionaire art dealer Joy Jopling, 45. Of their relationship, a source told The Sun, "It's early days in their relationship, but Lily has been telling pals how happy she is."

The source shared further that though Lily is happy with what she goes through, some of her friends are said to be very concerned with their age difference. "She is thrilled with her new man, but some of her friends have urged caution because of the huge age difference. They don't want to see her get hurt," the source said.

According to The Sun, Lily has hinted her relationship with Jay earlier last year. During an interview, she said, "I think I like much older men. I hang out with much older people. I go for dinners at posh places and talk about art. I'm meeting more interesting people who tax my brain."

Lily Allen has a history of dating older men. She split from her 37-year-old boyfriend Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers in February 2008, and before that she also had a three-year relationship with 31-year-old record label executive Seb Chew.

Jay Jopling meanwhile is an art gallery manager. He studied Art History at Eton and Edinburgh University. In 1997, he wed artist Sam Taylor-Wood but separated from her in September 2008.
