James and Kim have reportedly been embracing the simple pleasures of rural life – spending their time walking, sightseeing, and just soaking up the peaceful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Kim donned a short floral dress as she cozied up to the TV chef. The couple were snapped standing at the entrance to their B&B.

The B&B’s owners even shared some kind words about the happy couple.

“Le Jardin de Rose may only be a very small quiet side in semi-rural France, but we have fabulous guests. Thank you, James Martin,” they wrote on Facebook.

In a reply to one follower, they branded James and Kim a “lovely couple”.

For those who are dreaming of a similar romantic retreat, spending the night at this traditional French bed and breakfast comes with a modest price tag of only £76 per person. This includes a freshly prepared complimentary breakfast to start the day.

The news of James and Kim’s flourishing romance follows a series of public appearances earlier this year. The couple were spotted enjoying various dates in and around London.

Even though Kim’s previous marriage to tech entrepreneur Arun Nayar was short-lived, her bond with James seems to have a much more hopeful future.

Following his split with TV producer Louise Davies – James’s love life remained out of the spotlight until now.

The former couple were together for 12 years, but never took the step to pursue marriage or kids.

James has previously been open about why pursuing marriage isn’t in the cards for him.

“It doesn’t interest me in the slightest, mainly because I’ve catered for so many weddings, really. I admire people who do it, that’s fine, but I’m quite happy. I don’t need to spend 60 grand on a day, no, I’m more than happy thanks,” James told Sunday People in 2019.
