It is believed that Laura, a mother of two, and James have been in a relationship since January this year, writes MailOnline.
This is the Channel 4 star’s first relationship since splitting from long-term husband Alex Goward in 2022.
However, the romance reportedly blindsided James’ estranged wife Jackie.
James and Jackie have two children but are now going through a “painful divorce” and Jackie is “hurt and upset” by his new partnership with Laura.
A source told MailOnline: “Laura has been dating James since January and they spend all their time together.
“While Laura has been single since splitting from her ex-husband, James is still married and their relationship has caused his estranged wife Jackie much pain and distress.
“Laura and James have done their best to keep their relationship private, but months have passed and now they’re so close, they’re totally committed to each other and they’re making this work long-term.”
The new couple were seen getting cozy at the Scottish FA Cup final where they enjoyed exclusive tickets to watch the match together.
James is currently the CEO of Prospero, a maintenance company.
The new lovebirds have already agreed to mix business with pleasure so Laura has signed up to appear at a corporate event to be organized by James this November.

According to the event, while there he will discuss James’ company’s ‘impressive commercial recycling volumes’.
This is the first time Laura has gone public with a new romance since her marriage to the father of her two children, Alex, broke up in early 2022.
At the time, she admitted she was “overwhelmed with grief” after deciding to end their union after 13 years in a shock statement.
Confirming the split on Instagram, Laura wrote at the time: “This is not something I ever thought I would say, but after 13 years together Alex and I have split up.
“Our children are and always will be our number one priority and we would respect our family’s privacy at this time.”
Along with her message to fans, Laura shared a picture that read: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
The Sun has contacted representatives for Laura and James for comment.
