Who is Denise Van Outen in a relationship with?

It’s believed Denise and Adam struck up a romance earlier this year. The pair apparently enjoyed a string of dates before taking things to the next level by heading abroad. The couple enjoyed a sun-soaked Maldives trip in April.

“Denise loved being single and has been so busy with her TV work and DJ-ing but Adam is someone she’s enjoyed spending time with,” a source told The Sun at the time.

Denise and Jimmy’s split

Denise’s new romance comes two years after her split from Jimmy in November 2023.

“We have decided to part ways but we remain great friends and our families and children are still in touch,” she told The Sun.

“It was a really tough decision to make but Denise knew it was best to end things with Jimmy as the romance ran its course,” a source revealed.

“She’s had a rough few weeks and has thrown herself into work to get over it. Everyone loved and knew him, which made the decision even harder. She feels like she is back to square one now. But she had to follow her gut,” they continued.
