Andrea Corr and Giles Baxendale

Before hooking up with the handsome 31-year-old billionaire heir, Andrea dated British actor Shaun Evans for four years. Before that, she was involved with music manager Giles Baxendale.

In late 2000, Andrea`s fallow period ended when she met Giles Baxendale through a mutual friend. The relationship blossomed over the dinner with a group of friends at La Stampa Restuarant.
