EMILY PRESCOTT: Wildlife park heir Damian Aspinal joins celebrity dating app Raya
EMILY PRESCOTT: Will zoo still love me tomorrow… Wildlife park heir Damian Aspinal joins celebrity dating app Raya to find his new keeper
He quietly split from his glamorous second wife Victoria Fisher last year, and now it seems conservationist Damian Aspinall is keen to fill the hole in his heart.
I can reveal that Damian, 62, whose father John founded the Crown London Aspinalls gambling club and the Howletts private zoo in Kent, has joined Raya – the posh dating app used by celebrities such as model Cara Delevingne and pop superstar Harry Styles.
Victoria is 26 years his junior and it seems Damian is still keen to find someone who keeps him feeling young, as his search preferences reveal he is open to dating women half his age.
On his dating profile, which features photos of him alongside tigers and lions, Damian refers to his remarkable achievement in rewilding more than 600 animals.
To make sure any prospective girlfriend fits his luxurious lifestyle, Damian has listed the posh London hangouts of Scott’s and private members’ club 5 Hertford Street as some of his favourites. Yet he makes it clear that personality comes first, as he says: ‘Love funny and interesting people and especially positive people.’

It seems he is not in the least bit concerned about finding a match, as he has linked the song I Ain’t Worried by American pop band OneRepublic to his profile.
Damian has previously dated songwriter Kirsty Bertarelli and shares a daughter with actress and presenter Donna Air. His first marriage to Louise Sebag-Montefiore lasted 15 years and the couple had two children.
Damian and Victoria broke up late last year after six years, and Damian cemented the split with the modern-day mark of the end: unfollowing her on Instagram.
