The sun came out, as did James Martin when he made his final public appearance with new girlfriend Kim Johnson on Saturday.
The famous chef was accompanied by personal trainer Johnson on a walk through London, four months after confirming his separation from his ex-partner Louise Davies.
Martin, 51, looked relaxed in a blue vest and matching jeans as he walked arm in arm with his new girlfriend, the ex-wife of businessman Arun Nayar.
The Saturday Kitchen host completed his look with a baseball cap and heavily tinted sunglasses as he made the most of the good weather.
Johnson, who was joined by her boyfriend, turned heads in a stylish cropped wool jacket and high-waisted summer pants as they toured a host of boutiques.
The sun came out, as did James Martin when he made his final public appearance with new girlfriend Kim Johnson on Saturday.
Martin, 51, looked relaxed in a blue vest and matching jeans as he walked arm in arm with his new girlfriend, Arun Nayar’s ex-wife.
MailOnline revealed that Martin split from his girlfriend of 12 years, Louise Davies, at the end of last year (pictured together in 2021).
Johnson is the ex-wife of businessman Nayar, who was previously married to actress Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011.
The former couple reunited for the first time after splitting in 2011 and married in July 2016, but then divorced the following year.
However, they kept in touch after their divorce and have been photographed together at events since then.
Meanwhile, MailOnline revealed that Martin ended her 12-year relationship with Davies at the end of last year.
The chef and TV producer, 47, began dating in 2011, after they met on the set of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
A spokesperson confirmed that they separated in December 2023 and remain firm friends.
The couple lived together in a mansion in Hampshire during their relationship with James and previously revealed they had no plans to ever marry.
Speaking to the Sunday People in 2019, he said: ‘No, I’m not interested in it at all, mainly because I’ve actually attended a lot of weddings.

‘I admire people who do it, that’s fine, but I’m quite happy. I don’t need to spend 60 thousand dollars a day, no, I’m more than happy, thank you.’
Prior to his relationship with Louise, James enjoyed a four-and-a-half-year romance with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.
The chef and the film boss, 63, met when she paid £18,000 for him to cook her a meal as part of a charity auction in 2001, when he was 29.
The couple clicked immediately and James returned to cook for her at her birthday party.
Martin, 12 years younger than Broccoli, insisted that the age difference was never a problem in their relationship.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: ‘The age difference never seemed to be a problem. I’ve always liked independent women: we both had strong opinions and a lot to say, so life was never boring.
The new couple appeared to be in high spirits as they mingled with onlookers during their final public appearance together.
Martin and Johnson were inseparable during a rare day together in the English capital.
Kim is the ex-wife of Arun Nayar and married in July 2016, before divorcing the following year (pictured in 2015). Businessman Nayer was previously married to actress Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011 (pictured together in 2010).
Johnson’s passion for fitness is clear in the bikini photos she has shared on social media.
He described her as “the first true love of my life” and said he will always think a lot about her.
They eventually went their separate ways when James realized there was an “imbalance” in their relationship.
Broccoli lavished her with gifts, including a Picasso painting, and once offered to buy her a £180,000 Aston Martin, which he considered too expensive.
Recalling the breakup, she wrote: “Walking away from someone you love and who loves you so much is hard.”
‘It was maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but it was probably also the most sensible.
“In the end I think it was the best thing, not only for Barbara and me, but also for her children.”
A spokesperson for Martin confirmed that she had split from Davies in December 2023, but they remain firm friends (pictured in 2014).

Late last year, Martin announced that he would be taking a career hiatus amid his battle with cancer.
According to the Daily Mirror, he said at a public event: ‘On a personal note, I just wanted to thank you for 30 years of television.
“Personally, I’ve been through a lot with cancer, but I’ll be sorted out at the end of next month.
“I will fight again at the end of February, but I will take a short break to sort it out.”
He added: “I just wanted to thank you for all your support and all your messages.”
The TV presenter, who is at the center of a bullying storm following allegations he bullied staff on his food show James Martin’s Spanish Adventure, revealed he underwent surgery to remove facial cancer after his diagnosis in 2018. .
The shocking admission came after an extraordinary tape was leaked to The Sun of Martin berating his TV crew in a foul-mouthed rant about a blocked drain.
He told the newspaper that the outburst was the culmination of a series of unfortunate events in his life, which began with the death of his grandfather, then followed by a home invasion by masked robbers and, finally, his cancer diagnosis. .
He said: “Then I was diagnosed with cancer on my face and had to have surgery, which I didn’t get to do until two days before Christmas when we finished filming.”
“Since then it has returned several times and I have to receive regular treatments.”
Martin and Johnson, a personal trainer, were first photographed together in March.
