James Martin has separated from his long-time girlfriend Louise Davies after being together for 12 years as he goes on shopping trip with another woman.
They initially met when he appeared on Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in 2011, where she worked behind the scenes.
The 51-year-old TV chef and his former partner reportedly parted ways in December but are still friends, according to the Daily Mail.
This news comes as James was shopping in Mayfair on Saturday alongside Kim Johnson, a personal trainer who had been married to prominent businessman Arun Nayar.
Arun’s ex-wife was none other than actress Elizabeth Hurley, with the pair getting married in 2007 before separating four years later after she was linked to cricketer Shane Warne.
James, a regular on This Morning, looked casual in a blue shirt, jeans, gilet, and cap as the pair perused watches in London.
Matching his color scheme, Kim chose a blue jumper and black jacket to stay warm as she completed the look with a leather miniskirt, tights, and black boots.
The couple strolled around Old Bond Street, known for the location of glamorous blue jewellery store Tiffany and Co.
James and Louise had lived in a mansion in Hampstead together but the chef had no plans to marry after all the weddings he had catered.
‘It doesn’t interest me in the least, mainly because I’ve catered for so many weddings, really,’ he told the Sunday People in 2019.
‘I admire people who do it, that’s fine, but I’m quite happy. I don’t need to spend 60 grand on a day, no, I’m more than happy thanks.’
Kim on the other hand has been married before, although she and Arun only stayed together for a year before ending the marriage.
James is taking a step back from his TV appearances as he announced last year he would take a career break after a cancer diagnosis.
Speaking at his tour show in November, he said: ‘For me personally, I’ve been through a lot of s**t with cancer but I’m getting sorted at the end of next month.
‘I will be back fighting at the end of February but I’m going on a little bit of a break to get that sorted. I just wanted to say thank you for all your support and all your messages.’
He looked well in the outing with Kim but has not spoken on his diagnosis since the November update.
