A woman has said she’s the ‘luckiest wife in the world’ after her husband let her get dating apps – and he’s even helped her swipe on other men.
Alexandra Le Tissier, from Southampton, has been in monogamous a relationship with her husband Mitch for over a decade, but when their relationship got ‘a little bit boring’, she decided she wanted to spice things up by dating other men.
Stressing that she is very much still in love with her husband, Alexandra, who goes by Alex, asked Mitch, also 31, if she could download a dating app to make new connections and he agreed off the bat.
Alex’s husband is so cool about it, in fact, that he’s helped the model sift through her many likes as she searches for another man – admitting that some men are paying for super likes in a bid to get her attention.
She said: ‘He’s pretty open-minded. He’s not judging in any way, so he’s absolutely fine with it.

Alex said she’s got strict criteria for any potential dates and admits that she’s been culling her matches based on physical attributes like their hairline
‘The only rule we have is that it can only be for fun. It can’t be anything serious.
‘It’s really not interested in doing it himself, which is really funny to me.’
Alex said she’s got strict criteria for any potential dates and admits that she’s been culling her matches based on physical attributes like their hairline.
She explained: ‘I’ve not even been through all of my matches yet. I can be really strict.
‘I have been culling people depending on like their hairline and old they are. So it’s been quite a fun experience.’
While Alex has yet to go on a date with any of the men she’s chatting to, she is excited at the prospect, although she said she’d need to be chatting to someone for a few weeks before she’d be prepared to meet in the flesh.
Alex is using Bumble, which she’s chosen because it gives women the opportunity to make the first move, and said that as it’s her first time on a dating app, she’s made a few rookie errors.
She revealed: ‘I did accidentally swipe away like a barrister and I was absolutely gutted. I was like, ‘No!’

‘I think a few people have tweaked onto who I am from OnlyFans, and some people have paid to super swipe me to get my attention.’
In an ideal world, Alex wants any potential new man to have her husband’s approval.
She added: ‘I did actually let him swipe for me. It was funny. He knows my type – I like geeky guys.’
But while Alex and her husband are happy with this latest development in their relationship, not everyone has approved.
After Alex revealed she was on the apps on Twitter, some people actually contacted her husband to let him know, even though she joined with his consent.

Meanwhile she confessed she has a very specific type of man she is interested in – and is often attracted to ‘geeky guys’
Alex, who is from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, explained: ‘It’s just really funny that people think that I would just do it without letting him know – and then post it on my Twitter. People are weird.
‘I just think that was a bit shady.’
Looking to the future, Alex believes her relationships will be a lot more fun, and she said that her decision to use dating apps has already brought her closer to her husband.
She said: ‘It’s going to be a lot more fun now I don’t need to live my entire life with the same person over and over.’
