Reports indicate that Roman Kemp may be engaged, following sightings of his girlfriend wearing a ring on her finger. Friends close to the couple have noted that his mother, Shirlie Kemp, is “over the moon” about the news. However, formal confirmation from Roman or his representatives is still pending.
The One Show host’s relationship with Carmen was disclosed just last month, following their public outing at Le Petit Maison in Mayfair. Recently, the model was seen wearing a ring on her engagement finger, sparking speculation about a potential engagement.
A source informed MailOnline that Roman Kemp, 31, son of Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman, is prepared to settle down and believes he has found his ideal partner in Carmen. The source stated, “Roman has proposed, and Carmen accepted. He has long desired to establish a family, making this an exciting time for them. They have been seeing each other for several months, and Roman feels strongly that she is the one.”
Roman’s mother, Shirlie, is reportedly “over the moon” and has been sharing her excitement about the upcoming wedding with friends. Carmen, a production and casting assistant, describes herself as a “TV, Film and Fashion enthusiast” in her online bio. Raised in Brighton, she has a diverse background in the industry, having worked for Conde Nast and LuckyChap Entertainment.
While the radio DJ usually keeps his romantic life private, the couple was seen together earlier this year, and Carmen even shared a selfie from Roman’s stylish apartment on her Instagram.
Carmen was present with Roman when he interacted with the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla at the Sovereign’s Creative Industries Garden Party in May. Before his relationship with Carmen, Roman was in a three-year relationship with Anne-Sophie Flury, which ended in 2020.
