She wrapped up with a navy blue jacket and added to her ensemble with black lace-up boots and a matching handbag.

The pair were seen chatting together as they went shopping on Old Bond Street where the famous Tiffany & Co. is located.

Kim is the ex-wife of businessman Arun Nayar who was previously married to actress Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011.

Kim and Arun first got together after the split in 2011 and went on to tie the knot in July 2016, but then divorced the following year. 

However, they kept in touch following their divorce and have been pictured together at events in the years since. 

Meanwhile, revealed that James split from his girlfriend of 12 years, Louise, at the end of last year.

The chef and the TV producer, 47, first began dating in 2011 after they met on the set of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 

A spokesperson for James confirmed they parted ways in December 2023 and remain firm friends.

The couple lived together in a mansion in Hampshire during their relationship with James previously revealing they had no plans to ever marry.

Speaking to the Sunday People in 2019, he said: ‘No, 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.’

Prior to his relationship with Louise, James enjoyed a four-and-a-half year romance with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.

The chef and the film boss, 63, met when she paid £18,000 to have him cook a meal for her as part of a charity auction in 2001 when he was 29. 

The pair clicked right away and James cooked for her again at her birthday party.

James, who is 12 years younger than Barbara, insisted the age difference never posed a problem in their relationship.

Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: ‘The age difference never appeared to be a problem. I’ve always liked independent women: we both had strong opinions and plenty to say for ourselves, so life was never boring.’

He described her as ‘the first real love of my life’ and said he will always think the world of her. 

They ultimately went their separate ways when James realised there was an ‘imbalance’ in their relationship.

Barbara lavished him with gifts including a Picasso painting and once offered to buy him a £180,000 Aston Martin which he felt was too expensive.

Recalling the breakup, he wrote: ‘To walk away from someone you love and who loves you that much is hard. 

‘Maybe it was the daftest thing I have done in my life but it was probably the most sensible, too. 

‘In the end I think it was for the best, not just for Barbara and me but also for her children.’

At the end of last year, James announced he would be taking a career break amid his cancer battle.

According to the Daily Mirror, he said at a public event: ‘On a personal note, I just wanted to say thank you for 30 years of television.

‘For me personally, I’ve been through a lot of s**t with cancer but I’m getting sorted at the end of next month.

‘I will be back fighting at the end of February but I’m going on a little bit of a break to get that sorted.’

He added: ‘I just wanted to say thank you for all your support and all your messages.’

The TV presenter, who is at the centre of a bullying storm following allegations he intimidated staff on his food show James Martin’s Spanish Adventure, revealed that he had an operation to remove the facial cancer after his diagnosis in 2018.

The shock admission came after an extraordinary tape was leaked to The Sun where James berated his TV crew in a foul-mouthed rant over a blocked drain.

He told the newspaper that the outburst was the culmination of a string of unfortunate events in his life, which began with the death of his grandfather, then was followed by a home invasion by masked burglars, and finally his cancer diagnosis.

He said: ‘I was then diagnosed with cancer on my face and I had to have surgery, which I couldn’t do until two days before Christmas when we had finished filming.

‘Since then it has returned on several occasions and I have to have regular treatments.’

The abusive rant which happened during the production of his show, James Martin’s Saturday Morning, took place on a heated Zoom call in 2018 – the same year he had surgery for his cancer.

At one point James can be heard telling his team they should be ‘f***ing fried’, while in another outburst he suggests they should take their lunch break standing in the ‘f***ing rain’ as punishment.’

Afterwards, The Daily Mail exclusively revealed he could face being axed by ITV after senior bosses were left furious at his behaviour.
