Is Pippa Middleton's mystery man in Mustique James Matthews?

The identify of Pippa Middleton's mystery man in Mustique continues today as friends of a former fling deny he's the one pictured with the socialite. Italian magazine Chi, which was first to publish the Kate baby bump pictures, suggested the man holding Pippa's hand as the stroll along the beach is James Matthews. But Daily Mail reports today (Friday) the 37-year-old's friends have denied he's the shirtless brunette attached to the Duchess' sister.

Matthews is a wealthy businessman who was reportedly linked to Pippa late last year. But sources close to him say he was at his London office on Thursday, suggesting Pippa Middleton may have a new boyfriend.

As Examiner.com previously reported, photos show Kate Middleton's sister in bikini walking along the beach with a man in a swimsuit. The pictures are part of a series of photos of the Middleton clan and Prince William vacationing in Mustique. Of course, the most talked about pictures are not of Pippa and her boyfriend, but of her pregnant sister whose bikini-clad royal baby bump has now been seen around the world.
