James ‘Arg’ Argent has opened up about the ‘unusual way’ he wooed his 18-year-old girlfriend Stella Turian.
The Towie star, 34, has been linked to the teen actress since June, and he’s now revealed how he serenaded the 18-year-old with love songs over mafia movie screenings in his Essex mansion.
The former reality star said the two had a lot in common, despite the 16-year age difference, and were both films fans.
‘I’m lucky enough to have a home cinema — there have to be some perks to being in showbiz — and I’m obsessed with Mafia films, so I made her watch Goodfellas and some Sopranos and Casino too,’ James explained.
He said he felt ‘lucky’ to be dating the ‘extremely intelligent’ Italian actress.
‘Stella is extremely intelligent, very talented and she’s fluent in four languages, including English, which is lucky, as my Italian’s not great, although it’s improving. And she’s beautiful, too. “I feel very lucky”,’ he told The Sun.

‘Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind myself this is all really happening.’
‘We’ve got an amazing connection. She is extremely supportive,’ he added.
The pair are seemingly going strong and were recently photographed packing on the PDA while on a recent trip to Marbella, with reports also claiming Arg delighted Stella’s relatives upon meeting them for the first time.

The meetings with one another’s families apparently went so well that that pair are reportedly planning to take their relationship to the next level and move in together soon.
Another source told The Sun that Stella met James’ family and friends after arriving on Friday, adding: ‘They all think she’s great, and everyone is just so pleased to see James so happy; no one has seen him smile like this in years, and he’s in a really good place at the moment.’

‘No one would be surprised if she’d moved over at some point in the not-too-distant future to be with him. Things have moved really quickly between them,’ the source added.
‘At first, James was worried about what people might think about the 16-year age gap. The age difference hasn’t played any part in their romance so far, they’ve holidayed together in Italy and Marbella, getting to know each other away from the spotlight.’
