She was later linked to radio colleague Cody Jones and German model Jed Gerkhoff, but never confirmed a relationship with them.
The presenter previously admitted that she 'doesn't date English girls' because she prefers it when a potential love interest doesn't know who she is.
Speaking about his dating life on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Roman explained that he was more attracted to independent women and longed for a relationship to emulate his parents' 34-year marriage.
'Girls who plan their lives and are busy, attract me more than anything else.
'You look at the women I've dated in the past, they're women who do their own thing, and they do it well,' she said.
Roman explained that he wanted to get away from his fame and fortune and make a connection with someone.
'That's one of the reasons, to be perfectly honest with you, I don't really get on with English girls. I love someone who doesn't know what I do for a living. I love someone who doesn't care,” she said.
Roman was previously in a three-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Anne-Sophie Fleury, although the pair split in 2020.
News of Roman and Carmen's relationship came just months after Roman revealed his desire to have children and admitted he was 'scared of not having children'.
He revealed his close relationship with his parents and the example they set.
Speaking in an interview with Heat magazine in July, Roman admitted he was also worried about his own infertility and went for a sperm test last year.
The star admitted to the publication: 'I'm scared of not having kids. That's my big thing. I even went for a sperm test when I was 30. I am a family oriented person. '
