James Martin splits from girlfriend Louise Davies after 12 years
James Martin has split from long-term girlfriend Louise Davies after 12 years together after heading on a shopping trip with another woman.
They had originally 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 producer ex reportedly parted ways in December but remain friends, according to the Daily Mail.
This news came as James was seen shopping in Mayfair on Saturday alongside Kim Johnson, a personal trainer who had been married to prominent businessman Arun Nayar.
Arun's ex-wife is actress Elizabeth Hurley, with the pair tying the knot in 2007 before parting ways 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 colour scheme, Kim opted for a blue jumper and black jacket to keep warm as she paired the look with a leather miniskirt, tights, and black boots.
The couple strolled around Old Bond Street, famed for the location of glamourous blue jewellery store Tiffany and Co.
James and Louise had lived in a mansion in Hampstead together but the chef had no plans to tie the knot after all the weddings he had catered.
'It doesn't interest me in the slightest, 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 down the aisle before, although she and Arun only stayed together for a year before calling it quits.
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.
