In her caption Stewart praised Thompson as totally charming, completely cool and exceedingly handsome. Social media followers responded with delight, with some fans calling him a dream and playful comments imagining romantic fiction scenarios.

She added that wealth and luxuries like planes and yachts are welcome, and told Page Six she considers herself a very good catch with homemaker skills — while noting she has little time for a relationship.
