It comes after MailOnline reported that Danniella has finally found her 'soulmate' and is planning to marry the bare-knuckle boxer who 'doesn't judge her'.
Danniella, who rose to fame on Eastenders, is in a 'love bubble' with Charlie 'Chasa Real Talk', following her highly publicised personal struggles.
She is even said to be planning additional surgery to get herself looking her best ahead of what could be her third marriage.
An insider told OK! magazine: 'Danniella feels that she's found her soulmate. Chasa doesn't judge her one bit and doesn't care what has happened in her past.
'He understands all about the issues she's been through but is supportive – he just wants to make her happy.
'She's really smitten and feels like she can trust him, which is a really big deal for her.'
The TV star hinted that the romance was getting serious on Instagram where she shared snaps from her Greek getaway with Chasa.
The pair reportedly began as friends, having known each other for six years, before deciding to take their relationship to the next level.
This was confirmed by Chasa himself, who wrote on Instagram: 'Sometimes that one friend is just too good to let go.'
According to the insider, Danniella has been praying for a happy relationship for a long time.
They added: 'She is thinking about marriage and definitely wants to tie the knot with him, it's a no-brainer for her and she's ready to commit fully.'
Danniella was previously married to Ben Morgan between 1998 and 1999 and then to Kevin Jenkins from 2001 to 2014.
Her nasal septum famously collapsed in 2000 following excessive cocaine use and while she has had corrective surgery since then, she is said to be considering additional work ahead of any wedding.
The claims come after Danniella said her life has 'changed dramatically' since her father passed away at the start of 2024.
This tragedy enabled Danniella to 'pull herself back from the brink' again.
She wrote on Instagram: 'I got myself back into recovery and [have] taken the right opportunities that have come and do come my way. I feel so grateful, blessed and useful.'
Chasa, whose boxing name is the 'Croydon Bomber', is no stranger to the limelight even without Danniella and is signed to Conor McGregor's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
He has also publicly spoken about his own addiction issues, revealing that drugs had led him 'down a dark road'.
However, he is reported to have been in recovery now for several years.

Musical Evita facing growing controversy after multiple members of the public fall ill
THE latest performance of West End musical Evita is facing a growing controversy. On Thursday evening two ambulances raced to The London Palladium after multiple members of the public fell ill - with one being whisked to hospital. Large crowds of up to 200 people gathered outside the venue for hours to see actress Rachel Zegler, 24, perform Don't Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony. But as the country baked in blistering heat members of the public struggled to cope resulting in emergency services being called just minutes before Rachel was due to belt out the hit. A source said: 'As word spreads more and more people are flocking to the Palladium to see Rachel's performance and it's turning into a bit of a nightmare. 'Crowd control is bad enough on the public street but with the heat it's becoming really dangerous. 'Ambulances were parked outside the venue for almost an hour before racing to the hospital just minutes before Rachel appeared.' A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called at 8.16pm yesterday to reports of a person unwell in Argyll Street, central London. 'We sent two ambulance crews to the scene. 'While treating the patient, our crews were called to help a second person who was unwell nearby.

Time for change: watches that are worn anywhere but the wrist
While most watches today are worn on the wrist, originally they came in the shape of fobs — attached to a waistcoat or uniform by a chain or ribbon — or were hung on pins. Later they were put on wrist straps for convenience, a style that was common after the First World War. Now makers are relegating the telling of time to a secondary function. 'We're seeing watches evolve into expressions of personal style as consumers seek more distinctive accessories,' explains Ben Staniforth, of the pre-owned luxury timepiece retailer Watchfinder & Co. 'Worn on lapels as pendants or integrated into couture, they reflect a trend where fashion meets functionality.' This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Arsham Droplet watch, £76,000, If evidence is needed that this is entering mainstream culture, the actress Jenna Ortega rocking up at A$AP Rocky's Met Gala afterparty last month with an antique men's pocket watch by Heuer (known today as Tag Heuer) from c 1914 dangling from her tuxedo bodysuit should be proof enough. And the high echelons of watchmaking have cottoned on to this trend for self-expression too. Hermès debuted its Maillon Libre brooch watch in April. This gem of a timepiece can be pinned to a lapel or sleeve, or worn around the neck with a leather cord — and is a frontrunner for design ingenuity. Despite its established place in the serious fashion sphere, Chanel also knows how to have fun with its designs. The new Kiss Me necklace appropriately takes the form of the brand's cult lipstick. If that wasn't charmant enough, it slides open to reveal a hidden watch dial. Kiss Me necklace in yellow gold, golden beryls, rhodolites, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sixtie sautoir watch in rose gold, white opals and diamonds, POA, Also restringing its pearls is Piaget, which has taken inspiration from its archival necklace watches from the Sixties: the Sixtie sautoir has a lozenge watch dial as its focal point in a masterful melding of high jewellery and horology. And Hublot's long-standing collaboration with leading artists resulted in the release of a timepiece that sent ripples through the watch world last year. Designed by the visual artist Daniel Arsham, the Droplet is tethered to a chain and cased in sapphire glass, offering a clear view of the moving mechanical parts within. This cute kidney bean of a timepiece is as far removed from your grandad's gold pocket watch as you can get. Van Cleef & Arpels is a dab hand with watches that combine complex engineering with stellar gem setting. At first glance, its padlock-shaped Cadenas might look like a heavy-duty bracelet, but take a closer look and you'll find an angled watch dial set among a dazzling mix of gold, diamonds and sapphires. Panthère hinged bangle watch in yellow gold, lacquer, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sundial watch in steel, £128, Cartier is another high jeweller and watchmaker that excels at combining precious materials with covert details. Its new Panthère has Duchess of Windsor glamour in spades with its big-cat hinged bangle: cast in solid gold and set with precious stones, it also fits in a watch dial, revealed by turning your wrist a few degrees. But the most novel creation is by the young, dynamic German brand Nomos Glashütte. Its sundial watch, which can be worn as a ring or around your neck, has a machined hole that lets a beam of sunlight fall on the engraved numbers to tell the hours. It's useless at night, but it will certainly be a talking point during working hours.
