“Roman’s mother, Shirlie, is also delighted and has told her friends how excited she is for the wedding.”
Carmen, a production and casting assistant, describes herself as a “TV, film and fashion enthusiast,” according to her online bio.
Raised in Brighton, she has had a combination of industry experience and has worked for both Condé Nast and LuckyChap Entertainment.
The radio host tends to keep his love life out of the spotlight.
Although the couple has kept their relationship a secret, they were previously spotted together earlier this year.
Carmen even posted a selfie from Roman’s posh apartment on her Instagram.
Carmen was also alongside Roman as he chatted to the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla at the Sovereign Creative Industries Garden Party in May.
Roman was previously in a three-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Anne-Sophie Flury, however, the couple split in 2020.

He was later linked to his radio colleague Codie Jones and German model Jette Kerkoff, but never confirmed a relationship with either of them.
The presenter also previously confessed that he “doesn’t date English girls” because he likes it when a potential love interest doesn’t know who he is.
Speaking on the Diary Of A CEO podcast about his love life, Roman explained that he is more attracted to independent women and is desperate for a relationship that emulates his parents’ 34-year marriage.
‘Women who have their life plan and are busier, that attracts me more than anything.
“If you look at the girls I’ve dated in the past, they’re girls who do their own thing and they’re really fucking good at it,” he gushed.
Roman went on to explain that he likes to make a connection with someone far from his fame and fortune.
“It’s one of the reasons, to be totally honest with you, why I never date English girls. I love someone who doesn’t know what I do. I love someone who doesn’t care at all,” he said.

The news of Roman and Carmen’s relationship comes just months after Roman spoke about his desire to have his own children and confessed that he is “terrified of not having children.”
Gushing about his close relationship with his parents, he revealed that the example they have set for him has made him want to have a family of his own.
In an interview with Heat magazine in July, Roman admitted he was also worried about his own infertility and went for a sperm check last year.
The star confessed to the publication: ‘I’m terrified of not having children. That’s the most important thing. I even went for a sperm check when I was 30. I am a very family-oriented person. ‘
