Ayesha Makim
With her cover-girl looks, she adorned many a London party. But after four breathless years, the Duchess of York’s model niece Ayesha Makim abruptly disappeared from the capital.
Many assumed she was now back in her native Australia, but I learn she has, in fact, moved to Japan with a rugby player from Papua New Guinea.
What’s more, long-limbed Ayesha, 24, who once modelled swimwear for Speedo, has put her catwalk career on hold as she makes a living teaching English to Japanese students.
She met burly Henari Veratau, 26, who has also played professional rugby in France and Australia, after splitting from long-term boyfriend Steve Wood, a former nightclub promoter in London.
Ayesha, whose mother Jane is Fergie’s elder sister, and Wood were together for four years and shared a South Kensington flat.
He later moved to Los Angeles, while she got together with Veratau after moving back to Sydney to be closer to her mother.
‘Henari has made a good impression on her family,’ says a friend. ‘They are all big fans.’
