James Martin was spotted enjoying a romantic walk with his new girlfriend Kim Johnson, following his split from long-term partner Louise Davies. The 51-year-old TV chef and his personal trainer beau, who is the ex-wife of millionaire Arun Nayar, were all smiles as they strolled through London.

Martin looked dapper in an all-navy ensemble consisting of corduroy trousers, a jacket, tie, flat cap and a crisp white shirt. His companion, Kim, wore a grey dress which she paired with a fur-lined coat and suede knee-high black boots.

As reported by the Mirror, who have pictures of the pair, they seemed engrossed in conversation during their Monday morning outing. The Saturday Morning host has been seen out and about in London with Kim on several occasions. The couple were photographed during a recent outing in the capital and while shopping together.

Martin had previously been in a relationship with TV producer Louise for over a decade. Their romance reportedly began in 2011 after meeting on the set of a celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

Earlier this year, it was reported that James and Louise had chosen to end their relationship. A representative revealed that the pair split in December of the previous year after a 12-year romance, but they reportedly remain friends post-breakup.

Before his long-term relationship with Louise, James was romantically involved with film producer Barbara Broccoli, 63. The couple is believed to have been together for approximately five years after meeting at an auction in 2001.

Barbara 'won' James at this auction, paying a whopping £18,000 for him to cook her dinner. She is most recognised for her role as a producer of the James Bond film series, a legacy she inherited from her late father Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli.

Kim was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar, 59, who was formerly married to actress Elizabeth Hurley, 58, from 2007 to 2011. Kim and Arun tied the knot in 2016 but divorced just a year later.

The model seemed to confirm her relationship with James when they were seen browsing watches in a Mayfair, London shop in March.
