He was later linked to radio colleague Codie Jones and German model Jette Kerkoff but never confirmed a relationship with either. 

The presenter also previously confessed that he ‘doesn’t date English girls’ because he likes it when a potential love interest doesn’t know who he is.

Speaking on the Diary Of A CEO podcast about his dating life, Roman explained that he is most attracted to independent women and is desperate for a relationship to emulate his parents’ 34-year marriage.

‘Women that have their life plan and are busier, that attracts me more than anything.

‘You look at the girls I’ve dated in the past, they’re girls that are doing their own thing and they’re f***ing good at it,’ he gushed.

Roman went on to explain that he likes to build a connection with someone away from his fame and fortune. 

‘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,’ he said.
