James Martin has been notoriously private about his relationships but recently opened up about his split with Barbara Broccoli.
The TV chef previously dated the Bond star for four-and-a-half years before they parted ways in the mid 2000s.
Not much is known about his romances but he later went on to date a former Miss England and an actress before finding love with Louise Davies in 2011.
The pair met on the set of Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and have since kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
Here's what we know about James' mysterious romances over the years...
Barbara Broccoli
James met Barbara, 61, at a charity auction and recalled how the pair instantly clicked despite their 12-year age gap.
The daughter of Bond producer ‘Cubby’ Broccoli bid £18,000 at an auction for him to cook for her.
At the time, James was 29 years old and went to her Chelsea home to cater her dinner party.
However, things didn't work out and they eventually split after almost five years together.
According to the TV chef, their lives were too different for them to be compatible and he often felt starstruck while out with her as he'd be around the likes of Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman.
She showered him with gifts such as a £180,000 Aston Martin and three Picasso paintings.
“It wasn’t as if it was my birthday or Christmas – it was just a spur of the moment thought,” James said as he opened up about their break-up.
“In the end I said, ‘If I want something, I’ll work for it. Just drop it or we’re going to fall out over this’.
“It was a defining moment in our relationship. Deep down, I knew there was always going to be an imbalance.”
Sally Kettle and Claire Goose
After the pair parted ways, James went on to date former Miss England Sally Kettle.
The Saturday Kitchen star also dated Walking the Dead actress Claire Goose.
James was extremely private about his relationship with the two stars and not much is known about the two relationships.
He also dared interior designer Julia Dempster.
The lack of information about his romances may be due to the fact he 'learned from his mistake' after divulging details about Barbara.
"I stupidly didn’t listen to people, but I won’t be doing that again," he said following their break-up.
"I know now that you don’t sell your story. My industry is based on what I do, not who I am."

Louise Davies
Several years after his split from Barbara, James moved on with Louise Davies - who he has been dating since.
The couple met on the set of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2011 and are still head over heels for each other.
As James keeps things low key, reports came out about their relationship five years later.
“James desperately wants to keep his private life out of the spotlight and under wraps following his romance with Barbara," a source told The Sun.
“It’s easy to do with Louise as she likes things low-key as well, unlike Barbara who loved making a fuss over him.”
The couple shares a dog named Ralph together.
He was asked about the possibility of walking down the aisle but he doesn't seem to be interested.
"No, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest, mainly because I’ve catered for so many weddings, really," James said.
“I admire people who do it, that’s fine, but I’m quite happy."
He explained to the Sunday People in 2019: “I don’t need to spend 60 grand on a day, no, I’m more than happy thanks.”
