Roman Kemp's love life - Love Island fling, Kardashian crush and fatherhood fear
Roman Kemp is yet to reveal what's next for his career once he bids farewell to Capital FM listeners next month and hosts his final breakfast show.
The broadcaster, 31, certainly won't be short of offers when it comes to work, thanks to the DJ boasting an impressive and packed CV already despite only being in his early thirties. Roman is also in demand when it comes to his love life, despite his dad Martin Kemp's recently sharing his eldest son won't ever get married.
"It’s hard to date in general," Roman admitted in 2022 when chatting about his love life. "It’s not a focus of mine at the moment. I’m very much enjoying my career and, also, I’ve got to start trying to enjoy my life first as much as other people. Once I can be happy in myself, then who knows."
From rumours of a fling with a Love Island legend, to rekindling his romance with an ex girlfriend, here's everything you need to know about Roman's romantic endeavours, his famous dream woman and his hope to start a family one day in the future.
Love Island star and Lottie Moss dating rumours
In 2022, it was rumoured that Roman got quite friendly with Love Island's Maura Higgins. Neither star admitted they were dating, but they were seen together looking close at the Brit Awards afterparty in February that year. Despite their loved-up appearance, at the time, a spokesperson for Roman insisted that the stars "are friends."

The Capital FM DJ has also been linked to Kate Moss' younger sister (Johnathan Williams/REX/Shutterstock for PrettyLittleThing)Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Roman explained why he is attracted to a certain type of woman. "Women that have their life plan and are busier, that attracts me more than anything," he told Steven Bartlett. "You look at the girls I've dated in the past, they're girls that are doing their own thing and they're [expletive] good at it," Roman added. He went on to add: "It's one of the reasons, to be totally honest with you, that I don't really date English girls, ever. I love someone not knowing what I do for a living. I love someone not caring at all."
Lockdown split
From 2018 to 2020, Roman was in a relationship with Swiss scientist Anne-Sophie Flury. They met on the dating app Tinder but broke up after three years during the COVID-19 lockdown. While they were together, they got a cute Chihuahua puppy named Luna and even made their relationship official on Instagram, with Roman posting several loved-up photos on his page.
After Roman left the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle in 2019, Anne-Sophie was there to support him as they returned to the UK. it's rumoured Roman and Anne-Sophie have rekindled their romance over recent months, but neither of them have yet confirmed a reunion.
Following his split from Anne-Sophie, Roman has been romantically linked to German model, Jette Kerkoff, thanks to meeting while both on respective holidays in Mykonos, and Australian radio presenter, Codie Jones.

Roman camped alongside Caitlyn Jenner during their time on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2019 - with the Capital FM DJ admitting he has a huge crush on one of Caitlyn's daughters. "Caitlyn [Jenner] texts me all the time. I still think it's odd to this day. I got a voic enote the other day from her asking what was going on in my life and if I could give her a call to catch up," Roman revealed a couple of years on from his jungle stint.
He continued: "I called her and her [daughter] Kylie had had her baby recently. So I was congratulating her on another grandchild and she said, "Thank you, it's very exciting." Then I said, "Unfortunately though, mine and Kendall's wedding is going to be very expensive with all these guests!" And she said, "You better start saving up for it then!" So, sadly, Caitlyn won't be paying for mine and Kendall's wedding.
Asked by the Mirror if Kendall is his dream woman, Roman admitted in March 2022: "I mean, why not? The most showbiz I've ever felt was at the Brit Awards. I was with Harry Styles and I saw Kendall, and I thought if I'm ever going to have a reason to talk to her, it's now, as I've just been with Caitlyn for four weeks. I walked over and as I went to say my name, she went, 'Roman!' and I couldn't believe it. She was so sweet and thanked me for looking after Caitlyn and all this other stuff."
Fatherhood fears
Roman has previously confessed his greatest fear is that he may never welcome children into the world. Speaking to the Mirror in March 2022, The One Show host said: "Family is the most important thing to me. My biggest fear in life is never being able to have kids.
"I think a lot of guys won’t admit it, and I’m even too scared to go to the doctors and get my sperm checked, as I almost don’t want to know. I would adopt kids, I would do whatever to have a family. I think the reason we’re here on this planet is to make other good human beings."

In the same interview, Roman opened up about how he handles the interest in his love life. "It’s part of the job," he admitted. "I understand it but it doesn’t necessarily mean I enjoy it. My dad always tells me, 'If you’re going to do this job you have to understand that, and there’s no point being in it if you’re worried about that'. I’ve been lucky seeing it through the parents I have, you realise it’s tomorrow’s chip paper."
Dad's concerns
Roman's parents Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman recently opened up about their dreams for their daughter Harley Kemp and the outgoing Capital FM Breakfast show host. They don't seem troubled that both Harley and Roman aren't married or parents yet, but they do admit to being worried about if and when matrimony calls their kids.
"I'm not bothered that they're not married or have children. I think the world is a scary place. But if my kids get married, I want to be there," Shirlie stated in the interview. She usually shares her life lessons with both children, especially in matters related to dating. Here's what she tells them: "What do I tell them? Well, you always have to feel comfortable with someone and not let anyone make you feel insecure. But it's different between a girl and a boy. With Harley, I'll say 'make sure he's chasing you, don't you chase.' And with Roman, I'll say, 'Treat her nice.'"
Martin had a laugh with his wife Shirlie about their kids' future weddings during the interview earlier this month. He joked to HELLO! magazine: "I can tell you, you won't be. Roman will do exactly the same thing [as us]." Martin and the former Wham! backing singer eloped in 1988, tying the knot in St. Lucia with no guests.
