Sean Connery's glamorous granddaughter Natasha finds love with Scottish footballer following split from Gregory Peck's grandson
Sean Connery 's glamorous granddaughter Natasha has found love with American footballer Dante Polvara, who plays for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen.
The stunning fashionista, 29, was previously in a relationship with Gregory Peck's grandson Harper, 26, but their romance eventually fizzled out last year.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Natasha confirmed her new relationship with the sportsman, who has been described by the team's manager as a 'good weapon'.
'I love doing life with you. Happy 25th my ❤️', she wrote, alongside a carousel of snaps showing the couple lounging on a yacht, embracing at a football match, and cuddling at home with their dog.
Dante, originally from New York, joined Aberdeen FC in 2022 after playing for Georgetown University in Washington and USL side Charleston Battery.
The club's location is especially poignant for Natasha, whose late grandfather was born nearby in Edinburgh and remained fiercely proud of his Scottish heritage throughout his life.
Natasha is the daughter of Sean's step-son, Stephane, himself the son of the actor's second wife, Moroccan-French beauty Micheline.
She grew up in the Bahamas - where Sean spent his later years - and has two sisters, Saskia and Samara.
The beauty is now based in the UK and travels frequently around Europe, the Caribbean and the US.
Despite his American roots, Dante's Scottish club connection adds a neat full circle to the famous family's story.
Sean, who grew up in Fountainbridge and supported Scottish independence, often said he felt most at home in Scotland - even after moving abroad.
The late actor, who died in 2020 aged 90, became a global star as James Bond in Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger.
He later won an Oscar for The Untouchables and was knighted in 2000 for services to film drama.
In his later years, he was equally known for his philanthropy and cultural advocacy in Scotland - a legacy now carried on by his granddaughters.

Connery was known to be very close with his grandchildren before his death in 2020.
Captioning a photo of the star at the time of his death, Natasha she wrote: 'I will never forget the day I came to see you.
'I had just turned 12... You weren't happy because my posture was terrible and I had somehow quickly developed a very nervous stutter.
'I was never like this before I was bullied.
'You insisted that we meet for lessons each day of the week.
'You would fold up a small piece of paper and place it between my teeth and give me certain phrases/sentences to practice my projection.
'You taught me how to stand up for myself and hold my head up high. You saw that I was hurting and you made it your priority to help me. I love you to the �� and back 300000x.
'Knowing you and your modesty I just hope you realize the hell of the legacy left behind.'
