Nigella Lawson looked sophisticated as she stepped out for dinner in London on Monday with a mystery male companion.
The award-winning TV chef, 64, wore a black jacket and a high-necked top, paired with trousers and high-heeled booties.
Meanwhile, her male partner dressed to impress in a long black coat and gray pants.
Nigella, who is currently single, was married to journalist John Diamond, before he tragically died of throat cancer aged just 47.
Three years after John’s death, Nigella married wealthy art collector and advertising agency founder Charles Saatchi in 2003. But their marriage broke up after 10 years.
Nigella Lawson looked sophisticated as she stepped out for dinner in London on Monday with a mystery male companion.
The award-winning television chef, 64, dressed in a black jacket and a high-necked top, paired with pants and high-heeled ankle boots.
Last week it was revealed that Nigella had signed up to be the face of Greggs bakery this Christmas.
However, although he agreed to film an advert with the brand, the star will reportedly not be promoting the brand’s famous sausage rolls.
The Sun has revealed that the TV chef, 64, will put her name on the high street bakery chain’s festive flatbread and Christmas lunch baguette – but not on the delicious puff pastry.
A source told the publication: ‘(Nigella) wasn’t interested in putting her face on their sausage rolls and agreed to take part just to boost her festive meal.
‘As well as her Christmas lunch baguette and festive flatbread, Nigella highlights a special chocolate donut.
“Despite the sausage roll snub, Greggs couldn’t be happier to have such a fine dining heavyweight on board.”
MailOnline has contacted Nigella’s representatives for comment.

Her first husband, journalist John Diamond (left), was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1997 and died in March 2001 (pictured in 2000).
Meanwhile, Nigella was seen leaving a stylish west London home with a bag of Greggs treats last week as she filmed the festive advert in leafy Ealing.
It may be an unlikely pairing, but the star is rumored to be receiving a six-figure sum to lend her unique brand of suggestive sparkle to the company’s seasonal menu.
For the ads, Nigella was wrapped in a dark wool coat with a sprinkle of snow on her shoulders on the doorstep of the suburban house adorned with fairy lights.
On a table on set was a selection of Greggs’ seasonal hot drinks, including orange hot chocolate and salted caramel latte, as well as festive chicken, sage and onion pies, and baguettes for Christmas lunch.
The chain’s holiday menu is usually highly anticipated. Its meat pies are already in stores, but it has not yet announced when the seasonal pies will be on sale.
And this year they may be selling like hot cakes, as Nigella has an impeccable reputation for driving sales.

In 2006, when he recommended goose fat as essential for a perfect roast potato, sales doubled at Waitrose and Tesco. And after using prunes in a Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen recipe, Waitrose said sales of the dried fruit increased by 30 per cent.
Nigella and Greggs may have more in common than first appears, as they both enjoy unrivaled culinary success. Earlier this year, Greggs topped a survey for being the UK’s most popular fast food chain, with its legendary sausage roll leading the way.
Nigella also has a popular sausage roll recipe, which includes chestnuts, nutmeg and dried sage.
With 11 cooking bestsellers since her first hit, How To Eat, was published in 1998, she also has several hit TV shows to her name, including Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen.
Her pronouncements on food and housework always attract attention: she never irons, she has admitted, prefers chocolate cake to Christmas cake and once faced ridicule for (deliberately) mispronouncing microwaves as ‘meecrowahvay’.
More recently, he divided the nation when he revealed that he loved to eat anything in bed that could be consumed with his fingers or a spoon.
Whether that will extend to Greggs sausage rolls this Christmas is anyone’s guess.
