The media today have been buzzing about some particularly shocking news: Amy Winehouse looking comparatively active and healthy with a handsome, ripped man by her side. His name is Joshua Bowman, and he’s a former rugby player turned aspiring actor (enter skepticism that he’s interested in Winehouse for her grace and sobriety instead of her publicity potential). In any case, the two were spotted playing soccer and running around while vacationing in St. Lucia – a far cry from Winehouse’s depleting health in 2008.

Though reports have been unclear as to the nature of their relationship (friends? lovers?), Bowman has some flattering things to say about the Grammy-winning singer.

“She’s just a cool girl, very nice, and we’re just very friendly. She’s a good laugh – she is such a lovely girl and on great form. I can’t say much more than that.”
