Back in September of 2020, Kim posted a picture of the two of them on her Instagram and wished Russell a happy 50th birthday. That means that Russell is now 52 years old. The Sex and the Citystar is currently 66, which means there's a 14-year age gap between the two of them. That may sound like a lot, but the difference doesn't seem that pronounced in photos.

Kim said that the two first started dating after Russell decided to travel to Vancouver to see her. At the time, they had largely communicated online. "It was very brave of him because we didn't really know each other other than having a few meals together," she said. "But he came and we got along great, and we've been together ever since!"

Kim says her relationship with Russell is easy.

Kim has been through three previous marriages, but her love life has been mostly out of the spotlight since she got divorced in 2004. In her relationship with Russell, she says that things have largely come easy. "I'm very comfortable around him," she explained. "He's a firecracker and he's got a wicked sense of humor. And he's easy on the eyes!" 

Now, the couple have a regular routine together that Kim is hugely fond of. They start every day with a cup of tea together. Typically, they also have another tea after they've had their lunch. She knows it's "very British," but cherishes the routine and her partner anyway. "I love him," Kim said of Russell. "And he was worth waiting for."
