Life seems to be shifting once again for architect Dara Huang, the former fiancée of Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
While Dara has long built a name for herself in the world of architecture and design, her personal life has also been in the spotlight—especially when it comes to her ties with British royalty.
And now, it appears another chapter has quietly come to a close.
Dara and Filippos Call It Quits After Quiet Romance
Dara, who currently lives in Chelsea, was in a relationship with financier Filippos Kodellas de la Morena since 2020.
Their romance came not long after she and Edoardo parted ways in 2018—just before Edo went public with Princess Beatrice.
Dara and Filippos met through mutual friends after he relocated to London, and though they kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, it appeared strong for several years.
But the quiet couple have now split, and Filippos has already moved on.
According to Spanish magazine El Confidencial, he is engaged to businesswoman and dentist Sofía Marti Marti, with a wedding planned for this summer in Spain.
Who Is Filippos’s New Fiancée?
Filippos’s bride-to-be, Sofía, is from Valencia and juggles careers in both dentistry and fashion.
She specializes in periodontics and also runs her own shoe brand, Babuins.
The couple will reportedly celebrate their wedding with ceremonies in both Seville and Madrid.
Filippos, meanwhile, has a background in finance, having studied at Comillas Pontifical University before settling in the UK.
Parenting Wolfie Together—With a Royal Twist
Dara shares an eight-year-old son, affectionately called Wolfie, with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Since Edo’s marriage to Princess Beatrice, Wolfie has become part of the extended royal family, with Beatrice referring to herself as his “bonus mum” rather than stepmother.
The bond between Dara, Edoardo, and Beatrice is notably positive.
In a past interview, Dara expressed gratitude for their blended family dynamic, saying Wolfie is lucky to have “two sets of parents” who care deeply about him.
Even Beatrice’s mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, calls Wolfie her “grandson,” showing just how integrated he is into royal life.
Wolfie has even joined the royals at events, including the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and Princess Kate’s carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
From Florida to London—Dara’s Global Life and Career
Born in Florida to Taiwanese parents, Dara holds degrees from the University of Florida and Harvard.
Her father, who worked as a NASA rocket scientist, immigrated to the U.S. on a scholarship, while her mother fled to Taiwan as a war refugee.
Dara often reflects on her parents’ sacrifices and the value of hard work—lessons she’s clearly carried with her.
Now a British citizen since 2022, Dara has embraced life in London.
She has spoken lovingly about the city’s culture, art, and food, calling herself “global” in both lifestyle and mindset.
Interior Design, TV, and World Travel
Professionally, Dara is a force. She founded her company, Design Haus Liberty, in 2013, followed by Vivahouse—a project that transforms vacant commercial properties into modern homes.
Her work has taken her around the globe, including prestigious projects at the Tate Modern in London and skyscrapers in New York.
She even appeared as a head judge on Channel 4’s The Big Interiors Battle in 2023, solidifying her place in the UK design world.
Her Instagram gives a peek into her vibrant lifestyle—family cruises with Wolfie, glamorous getaways to Ibiza and the Hamptons, and work trips to Miami, Paris, Dubai, and more.
A Furniture Brand and a Forward-Facing Outlook
Currently, Dara is focused on building her new furniture brand, Dara Maison, which merges high design with her travel-driven inspiration.
She often shares behind-the-scenes looks at her creative process on social media, along with art-buying tips and snaps of her elegant West London home.
She’s candid about her schedule, often crediting her personal assistant for keeping things on track—and she never skips her evening ritual of reading her diary.
A Breakup, But No Bitterness
Though Dara’s romantic journey with Edoardo didn’t end in a fairy tale, it seems to have led to a supportive co-parenting relationship.
She’s even joked in interviews that falling in love isn’t always a sign to trust your instincts, recalling how quickly things ended with Wolfie’s father.
Still, there’s no bitterness in sight. Dara has continued to wish Edoardo and Beatrice well—even when they announced their engagement.
At one point, she reportedly still cut Edo’s hair and occasionally helped him shop, proving that amicable breakups really do exist.
Beatrice and Edo Welcome Baby Number Two
Beatrice and Edoardo have since grown their family.
In January, they welcomed their second child together, Athena, who arrived a few weeks early. She joins big sister Sienna, who’s now three.
Despite all the change, the blended family has remained tight-knit, with Dara publicly praising the love surrounding her son.
Holding Onto Perspective and Positive Energy
Dara has been refreshingly open about her beliefs, especially when it comes to parenting and family.
She’s spoken out against using children as leverage in divorce and believes in building a peaceful, happy environment for them.
As she once told Harper’s Bazaar, “It’s about creating a happy home and lifestyle.”
She’s also used her platform to reflect on the immigrant experience and advocate for kindness and opportunity.
In a 2022 Instagram post, she shared a heartfelt tribute to her parents’ journey and encouraged others to keep their hearts open.
What’s Next for Dara?
With a growing brand, exciting travel plans, and a beautifully blended family, Dara seems to be embracing life on her own terms.
Though her relationship with Filippos has ended, it’s clear she’s far from slowing down.
Whether she’s designing elegant interiors, raising her son, or hosting glamorous getaways, Dara Huang is living proof that fresh starts can be just as beautiful as happily ever afters.
