James Argent and former Miss Sweden girlfriend Nicoline Artursson pack on the PDA on the beach in Barbados
JAMES Argent could not stop beaming while on a day out at the beach in Barbados with his model girlfriend Nicoline Artursson.
The Towie favourite, 37, packed on the PDA as the pair frolicked in the sea before enjoying a passionate kiss.
Former Miss Sweden Nicoline looked sensational in a white and purple floral barely-there bikini.
The loved-up duo were seen strolling hand-in-hand along Sandy Lane Beach.
TV favourite James, who lost 13 stone and underwent gruelling skin removal surgery, went topless and wore a pair of guitar print swim shorts.
James whisked away Nicoline for a special birthday getaway after turning 32 last week.
The happy couple struggled to keep their hands off each other as they were seen embracing and looking at each other lovingly.
They were seen splashing about in the glistening blue sea before topping up their tan with a leisurely stroll across the sandy beach.
In one photo, James braced himself as he was hit by a wave, while Nicoline looked on.
James has been smitten with Nicoline ever since he started dating her in July 2024.
Last week he posted a sweet birthday tribute with a photo of him gazing adoringly at her.
He captioned the snap: “Happy birthday my love,” with a pink love heart emoji.
Nicoline also re-shared the post with a heart emoji.
Arg has been dating Nicoline since the summer, when the couple met outside a Spanish supermarket.
In September, he confirmed their relationship after a romantic holiday.
Going Instagram official, James – a Towie OG – shared snaps of them enjoying a date at a restaurant.
And the star has since taken another a big step in his relationship with Nicoline, as the pair have moved in together.
Speaking to OK! Magazine in their first joint interview, James and Nicoline revealed they are now living together in Arg’s Essex home.
The pair first met outside James’ mate Elliot Wright’s restaurant when he spotted Nicoline.
Declaring it was “love at first sight” James took a chance and asked the stunning blonde on a date, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
The pair have now also revealed that they’ve had serious discussions about starting a family together too.
James told the publication: “We’d both love to have a family one day, absolutely.”
Nicoline added: “That’s one thing I love about James. He’s very family-oriented. Our families are so similar.”
James continued: “We’re both at the right stage in our lives. We’ve both lived a life, we’ve both had experiences with previous partners, but now it’s a really good time to be sure of who you are with.”
It’s the first time that Arg has been linked to a woman since his ex Stella Turian.
Last year, Arg revealed he was “lonely and struggling” after splitting from Stella.
He told the My Dirty Laundry podcast at the time: “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.”
