Amy Winehouse is dating her bodyguard.

The "Rehab" star has been accompanied by the security guard - known as Neville - on her holiday to St. Lucia and she has already introduced him to her friends and family.

She reportedly told them: "He makes me feel safe as he's big and strong."

Amy, 25, and Neville - who was employed by the singer's management company to keep an eye on the troubled singer - were seen strolling arm-in-arm along a beach in the Caribbean speaking animatedly to one another.

A source said: "They looked really happy and relaxed together. Amy's impending divorce looked like the last thing on her mind."

Amy's husband Blake Fielder-Civil filed for divorce in January because she was allegedly enjoying romantic liaisons with other men on the Caribbean island.

The singer spent three months in St. Lucia earlier this year before returning to London to work on her third album.

However, Amy has struggled to maintain her new healthy lifestyle and returned to the island last week in a bid to keep away from parties.

She is believed to be in the process of buying a ￡3million property, where she plans to build a recording studio.
