Nick Knowles, 60, made his first appearance with his girlfriend Katie Dadzie, 33, in September 2021.
The couple made their public debut as a couple at a restaurant in Bath after having been friends for several years.
Despite their 27-year age gap, the couple looks happier than ever after nearly two years of dating.
Katie has now broken her silence on her relationship, admitting the secret to their successful relationship is their independence.
She did admit, however, that it wasn’t love at first sight and she actually “didn’t like him very much” after meeting due to their children at school.
Katie told The Sun: “I actually didn’t like him very much. We just knew each other as our kids were friends.”
“I’m very shy and quiet, while Nick is quite extroverted and a complete chatterbox. He didn’t give me a lot of opportunities to talk. I didn’t know a lot about him.
“But when we were both single we went for coffee and he let me talk, eventually, and we had a lot in common. We both love cooking and have an interest in history.”
Katie, who is mum to daughters Savannah, eight, and Alex, five, from a previous relationship described Nick as having a “Peter Pan complex” as he doesn’t act his age.

Nick is said to act like a “teenage boy” while Katie is the more mature in the relationship.
She continued: “We’re really happy and support each other with kids and our work lives. He’s a really lovely person. We have separate homes, which I think works for our relationship.”
Katie also confirmed the pair are not planning to have any more children as they both have them from previous relationships.
Nick, himself, has four children with his oldest Tuesday and Charlie being from his first marriage to ex-wife Gillian.
While son TJ is his son with former Dancer Paula Beckett.
Nick’s youngest son Eddie was born in 2014 during his marriage to Jessica Rose Moor.
Katie explained: “I’m focused on running my businesses now too and love the ages my kids are.
“Nick likes to spend time with his youngest son, so it’s hard enough to juggle work and childcare without adding to it. We’re both happy with our broods.”
