Rumours are also abuzz that the couple could marry later this year. Friends say Araujo has been a positive influence on Woods.
“Ronnie now thinks Ana could be the woman to make a life with. She’s such a positive influence on him and they’ve very relaxed in each other’s company. They’re happy enjoying the simple things in life like staying in, making meals and watching films.
“He couldn’t be happier and there’s already talk of them getting married as early as this summer,” said a close friend.
