She accessorized with a pair of casual sneakers, wore her hair down and appeared to go makeup-free.
The footballer and the reality star have been at the center of romance rumors for several months and were said to have started a relationship in September.
In November, The Sun reported that Arabella regularly flew from her home in Ibiza to spend time with Ruben in the UK.
They added that the Portuguese hunk is “showering” the beauty with gifts but the couple is trying to keep their romance a secret.
A source said: “Rúben and Arabella have been quietly dating for a month. She visited him in Manchester and their dates were all under the radar.
“They traveled to Paris for their first romantic getaway this week, where he wined and dined her at the best restaurants.”
“Rúben and Arabella are trying to keep their relationship secret because it is still in its early stages. But they had the best time together in Paris and really seem to be falling in love.'

Rúben was in Paris for the glitzy Ballon d'Or ceremony, while Arabella's stay in Paris seemed like a pit stop on the way to Ibiza and the model shared snaps of herself on the White Isle.
Model and social influencer Arabella, who took part in the fifth season of Love Island in 2019, split from New York businessman Richie Akiva in September.
Arabella has also been linked to another athlete this year, former French rugby player Yoann Huget, after the pair were spotted together at the French Open in June.
A source said at the time: “They've been together for a while and now things have gotten more serious, so they were happy to make it official at the French Open.”
In 2021, she was also briefly linked to DJ Tom Zanetti, but quickly dismissed the claims, emphasizing: “We did a shoot together, but we're just good friends!” People have assumed more than it is.
“I'm 100 percent single and for the first time in my life I'm learning about myself and what I want in a man now.”
“I don’t want to be satisfied. When you're younger you think, “He's hot, that's enough for now,” but now I'm like, “No, I know what I want and I know what I'm worth.”

Meanwhile, Rúben was most recently in a relationship with cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa and the pair were pictured kissing last summer but have not been seen together since
He previously experienced an ugly breakup with singer April Ivy, who released a song called “Broken Apologies” about him after they split in September 2021 due to “lifestyle differences.”
Meanwhile, Rúben was most recently in a relationship with cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa and the pair were pictured kissing last summer but have not been seen together since.
He previously experienced an ugly breakup with singer April Ivy, who released a song called Broken Apologies shortly after the split, which was apparently about the City star.
The couple began dating in late 2018 and went public on New Year's Day 2019, but split in September 2021 due to “lifestyle differences.”
Insiders told Portuguese magazine Flash! At the time, Rúben's desire for a more “discreet” life clashed with the “exuberance” of his former love, leading to their alleged breakup and April's removal from his social media channels.
Rúben had an outstanding year at Man City, helping the club win five major trophies – the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
In 2023, City became the first English club in history to simultaneously hold this top-flight quintet of trophies, securing the Club World Cup in Jeddah just before Christmas.
Looking back on the incredible last 12 months, Rúben said: “It was a special year for both me and the club, for everything we won, for the way we won it, for our entire philosophy of play. “
“It was undoubtedly a year we will never forget.”
