Newly married lover (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admirer

'lover' is the definition.
(I know that admirer is a type of lover)

'newly married' is the wordplay.
'newly' indicates an anagram.
'married' anagrammed gives 'ADMIRER'.

(Other definitions for admirer that I've seen before include "potential suitor" , "Married to suitor" , "Married to one who cherishes" , "One who cherishes, like boy friend" , "girlfriend?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Best For Puzzles.
