He split from his previous wife in 2013 after 30 years together and 14 years of marriage.
Four years later, he was introduced to new partner Vanessa through mutual friends and was quick to whisk her away on a lavish holiday to Marbella in Spain.
Despite the 17-year age gap, the couple have become stronger than ever and have enjoyed multiple trips abroad including a jaunt to Costa Rice in 2019 and a successful skiing trip.
With a new baby added to the mix, Johnny has a new lease of life, a stark contrast to the challenges he faced a few years ago as he finalised his divorce.
The former Big Breakfast host revealed that it was a ‘strange feeling’ to be alone at the time and he hadn’t been having much luck in the dating department.
He said: ‘I’m finding it very hard, to be honest. I’ve struggled. I’ve been on a few dates but I don’t know what to say.’
However that all changed when he met his stunning girlfriend who he now shares a child with.
