It’s been almost a year since TOWIE legend James Argent split from his girlfriend Stella Turian, but he’s seemingly loved-up once again after being spotted kissing a new woman.
Arg has been pictured locking lips with former Miss Sweden Nicoline Artursson in the sea while enjoying a romantic getaway in Saint-Tropez.
The pair could be seen laughing and joking as they embraced each other in the water before leaning in for a cheeky snog.
According to The Sun, Arg has been romancing Nicoline and whisked her off to the south of France for a boujie weekend break at Indie Beach at Plage de Pampelonne, one of the resort’s most exclusive spots.
Nicoline is certainly no stranger to a lavish lifestyle, with her Instagram – which has over 21,000 followers – packed full of pictures of skiing trips and Ibiza holidays as well as designer clothes and jewellery.
Having won Miss Sweden in 2011, Nicoline now works as an entrepreneur and lives in Marbella – which is likely where she met Arg.
Much like her new man, Nicoline has also previously appeared on reality TV. In 2018, Nicoline finished in ninth place on Robinson, the Swedish version of Survivor.
Earlier this year, Arg revealed he was looking for love following his split from 19-year-old Italian law student Stella after “struggling” on Valentine’s day.
Speaking on the My Dirty Laundry podcast, he explained, “I'm in a really good place. Everything in my life is perfect, apart from my love life.
“It would be nice if that would change. I'll be completely honest, this year I really struggled on Valentine's Day."
The reality star and wedding singer continued, “I remember, I woke up and thought, I am not going to look at social media.
"It's not that I'm heartbroken or upset, but just because I knew it's not going to make me feel great because I didn't have a Valentine, I don't have a girlfriend."
Arg’s new relationship comes just months after his teenage sweetheart Lydia Bright went public with her new boyfriend.
