Roman Kemp, host of The One Show, has dropped some hints about starting a family in the future.

Speaking fondly of his dad, Martin Kemp, Roman, 30, playfully referred to him as 'grandad' while discussing his hopes for his children to see them both on TV one day. Roman and Spandau Ballet star Martin often team up in showbiz - and they have even co-hosted a program called 'Martin and Roman's Weekend Best' together as well as appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Roman has now lifted the lid on his aspiration to have a family of his own and how it motivates his close work relationship with his dad. He said: "My dad and I get to work with each other all the time, and I'm so lucky for that. The reason we work together is that I know how much I'm going to love my kids and my family watching that footage of me and their grandad working together - and that's just our relationship," he revealed.

The Capital FM presenter, who has suffered with depression and mental health issues for years also shared an update on his journey. Roman, who works hard to raise awareness for mental health issues in the UK, disclosed his regular struggles with depression.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Roman shared: "My depression and mental health are something that I learn to live with." The TV star explained that he has 'monthly episodes' of feeling low, which can make it difficult for him to go to work. However, his strong bond with his famous parents, Martin and Shirley Kemp, is a key support system for his mood upliftment.

When it comes to his romantic life, Roman has been keeping quiet on whether or not there's a special lady in his life. Roman has only ever confirmed being in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Anne-Sophie. In 2022, he was linked to Love Island's Maura Higgins after they reportedly "grew close" at the Brits after party.

He was also linked to German model Jette Kerkoff, with reports of a holiday to Mykonos and Roman liking her Instagram pictures. In 2021, it was reported that Roman had found love with Australian radio producer Codie Jones, who even met his parents.

Between 2018 and 2020, Roman was officially with Swiss scientist Anne-Sophie Flury. They matched on Tinder but ended their relationship after three years during lockdown. The couple had a Chihuahua pup called Luna together and were often seen gushing over each other on social media. Anne-Sophie even flew to Australia to support Roman when he entered I'm A Celebrity.
