Dara Huang, the ex-fiancée of Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, has split from her partner Filippos Kodellas de la Morena.
The American architect, who lives in Chelsea, had been dating the London-based financier since 2020.
The split has been confirmed as Kodellas de la Morena is now engaged to businesswoman and dentist Sofía Marti Marti.
The couple plan to marry this summer in Spain, with wedding registries in both Seville and Madrid, according to Spanish magazine El Confidencial.

Huang and Edoardo were together from 2015 to 2018, becoming engaged in 2017 and welcoming their son Wolfie, who is now nine years old.
The couple split in 2018, shortly before Edoardo’s relationship with Princess Beatrice became public.
Beatrice and Edoardo married in 2020, the same year Dara began dating Kodellas de la Morena.
In January this year, Beatrice and Edoardo welcomed a baby girl, Athena, who was born prematurely. She is a younger sister to their daughter Sienna, three.

Kodellas de la Morena, the son of retired Greek diplomat Nasas Kodellas and a “well-connected Spanish mother”, studied business administration and finance at Comillas Pontifical University before moving to the UK.
He and Huang reportedly met through mutual friends but kept their relationship private.
His fiancée Sofía Marti Marti hails from Valencia and works in periodontics. She is also the founder of Babuins shoe brand.
The couple’s engagement was announced last month, with wedding plans already underway for this summer.
Despite Edoardo’s relationship with Beatrice beginning shortly after his split from Huang, the trio maintain an excellent relationship.
Huang recently told Harper’s Bazaar that Wolfie “has had two sets of parents trying to help him on both sides, adding ‘the more, the merrier.'”
“I feel lucky to have such positive people around him, who really embrace him, because it didn’t have to be so easy,” she said.
“It’s all about your point of view. I don’t understand people who are divorced and then hold their children as collateral; that doesn’t make any sense. It’s about creating a happy home and lifestyle.”
The respect between the families is clearly mutual, as Wolfie was included in Buckingham Palace’s official announcement when Princess Beatrice was expecting last year.
Beatrice shuns the term “stepmother” and calls herself a “bonus mum” to Wolfie, considering it a “great honour” to be in his life.
Wolfie has joined the Royal Family at several events, including the Princess of Wales’s 2023 carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
He made his first official appearance with the family at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee pageant in 2022.
