Privacy NoticeThe One Show star Roman Kemp has been spotted wandering around London hand-in-hand with his stunning new girlfriend, Carmen Gaggero. The TV presenter and Capital radio host, 31, has been keeping his new relationship under wraps, but it looks as though the new couple are slowly easing into the spotlight. Roman, who is the offspring of Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman, tends to keep his romantic life private but has occasionally given fans a peek into his personal world. Over the past few years, he was rumoured to have become close to Maura Higgins after they were spotted looking cosy at the Brit Awards afterparty in 2022.

He was also linked to German model Jette Kerkoff and at one point, it was believed that he was dating Australian radio host Codie Jones. From 2018 to 2020, he was in a relationship with Swiss scientist Anne-Sophie Flury, reports the Mirror. Now, he’s been spotted with branding assistant Carmen, strolling around central London this week. Roman opted for a laid-back look in a black jumper and matching trousers, complemented by a silver watch. His gorgeous girlfriend sported baggy jeans, a low-cut light brown top and a leather jacket, finishing off her stylish outfit with a Bottega Veneta-inspired black woven bag. The pair looked absolutely smitten after a romantic dinner at Le Petit Maison, a French-Mediterranean eatery, in Mayfair. Carmen has been photographed with Roman on numerous occasions before, even accompanying the former radio presenter when he met Queen Camilla and King Charles. She was also present when he encountered Kate Middleton on another occasion. Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

When they met the King and Queen, the pair opted for chic beige ensembles, while they chose more sombre attire for their rendezvous with Princess Kate. Meanwhile, Martin and Shirlie have previously shared their thoughts on knowing that their children – Harley and Roman – are not rushing down the aisle. “I’m not bothered that they’re not married or have children. I think the world is a scary place. But if my kids get married, I want to be there,” Shirlie confessed in an interview. She also mentioned that she often imparts dating advice to her kids and bestows her nuggets of wisdom upon both Harley and Roman. She elaborated: “What do I tell them? Well, you always have to feel comfortable with someone and not let anyone make you feel insecure. But it’s different between a girl and a boy. With Harley, I’ll say ‘Make sure he’s chasing you, don’t you chase.’ And with Roman, I’ll say, ‘Treat her nice.'”.

While Shirlie holds onto the hope of witnessing her children’s weddings one day, Martin quipped that they might miss out on the milestone. In a light-hearted comment to HELLO! magazine, he said: “I can tell you, you won’t be. Roman will do exactly the same thing [as us].” Since eloping and exchanging vows in 1988, Martin and Shirlie have savoured over thirty years of marital happiness. In a revealing conversation on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Roman revealed what he looks for in a partner. He admitted having a soft spot for self-reliant women as he explained: “Women that have their life plan and are busier, that attracts me more than anything. You look at the girls I’ve dated in the past, they’re girls that are doing their own thing and they’re [expletive] good at it.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
