Pippa Middleton
We're still hoping she hooks up with Harry.
Five things to know about Pip's new love.

The world has been obsessed with Pippa Middleton ever since she nearly upstaged her sister, The Duchess of Cambridge, at the royal wedding two years ago.

And now, everyone's favorite royal sister-in-law has a new man by her side. It seems Pippa and 35-year-old Nico Jackson have been dating since the beginning of the year, but after the pair were photographed engaging in some PDA on the ski slopes of St. Moritz, Switzerland this past weekend, any secrecy the two were hoping to keep is officially over.

So who is the lucky man? Here are five facts about the royally connected beau:

1. He is a self-made millionaire who works as a stockbroker at Deutsche Bank in London.

2. He's middle-class. Despite the high-breeding of some of Pippa's past suitors (as well as her brother-in-law), Nico grew up in a modest home and received a business degree from Kingston University, a public college.

3. He likes to ski as much as she does. This weekend wasn't the pair's first time on the slopes together. They vacationed in the Swiss Alps last month as well, and are rumored to have met while skiing on the first of the year. His parents even run a ski and sportswear shop!

4. He's met the Middleton family. Nico joined Pippa and the rest of her family—including Prince William, Kate, and the baby bump—on the Middleton family vacation in Mustique.
