Hold onto your aprons, folks! Celebrity chef James Martin, beloved for his culinary prowess and Saturday morning charm, is reportedly set to tie the knot! The 53-year-old TV star has apparently proposed to his girlfriend, 39-year-old personal trainer Kim Johnson.
This news might come as quite a surprise to long-time fans, as James has famously stated in the past that marriage held “no appeal” for him “in the slightest.” It seems love truly does conquer all, and his views have taken a dramatic turn!
The couple has been together for nearly two years, publicly confirming their relationship earlier this year. Insiders are buzzing, saying the pair are “happier than ever.” One source summed it up perfectly: “when you know, you know.” They added that while friends are playfully amused by James’s staunch refusal to ever marry, everyone has witnessed the incredible change in him since meeting Kim. He’s truly a “changed man.”
Life with Kim sounds eventful too! James recently admitted his girlfriend calls him a “nightmare to be around,” all thanks to his “obsessive” nature in the kitchen. He even joked about his new super-vision after eye surgery, claiming he can now “see around corners” – making him even more meticulous!
From whipping up delectable dishes to now planning a wedding, it looks like James Martin is embarking on a new, exciting, and very happy chapter. We couldn’t be more thrilled for the happy couple!
