James Martin’s girlfriend Kim Johnson has appeared to confirm she has taken a step forward in her relationship with the TV chef, following reports of a Christmas proposal.
The personal trainer, 39, has been dating the culinary prodigy, 53, for two years, and the couple now appear set to officially tie the knot, despite previously vowing never to get married.
According to The Sun Kim took to Instagram with a photo of one of James’ latest dishes alongside the caption: “So proud of my fiance.”
Last month, the chef reportedly popped the question before gifting his future wife a Land Rover worth £150,000, which was reportedly an engagement gift.
This appears to be a change of heart on James’ part, after he previously showed no desire to get married.
Addressing the Sunday people in 2019, he said: “I’m not interested in marriage at all, mainly because I’ve planned so many weddings, actually.
“I admire people who do it, it’s good, but I’m pretty happy. I don’t need to spend $60,000 a day, no, I’m more than happy, thank you.
James and Kim’s romance was first revealed when they were spotted shopping for jewelry at Tiffany’s in Mayfair in April last year.
His engagement to Kim comes exactly two years after James split from his long-term girlfriend Louise Davies after 12 years together.
