Jaime King is reportedly dating hotelier Vikram Chatwal less than six months after ending her engagement to another man.
The 46-year-old Next Model and the 54-year-old Dream Hotel founder were spotted ‘looking affectionate with one another’ at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, CA last week – according to Page Six.
King and Chatwal ‘were seen together again just days later’ enjoying a date in Beverly Hills at Bombay Palace, a restaurant chain founded by his disgraced father Sant Chatwal.
A decade ago, the thrice-rehabbed businessman was reportedly sentenced to five days of community service after being convicted on charges of torturing and injuring animals, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief for ‘setting two dogs on fire.’
This, two years after Chatwal’s 81-year-old father pled guilty of witness tampering and conspiring to violate the Federal Election Campaign Act by making over $180,000 in federal campaign donations to three candidates through straw donors.
The Ethiopian-born, New York-raised gallery owner used to be friends with Lindsay Lohan during her Hollywood wild child years as well as a bevy of models and starlets like Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Rosario Dawson and Poppy Delevingne.

Chatwal reportedly romanced Spanish model Esther Cañadas and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi.
The Wharton School of Business grad welcomed 18-year-old daughter Safira during his five-year marriage to Indian model Priya Sachdev, which ended in 2011 following an eye-popping $20 million wedding ceremony.
Last July, King confirmed to People that she was engaged to Family Office investor Austin Sosa after ‘staying with his parents’ when her landlord Sheila Irani locked her out of her LA home for failing to pay over $42,000 in back rent.
The Love, Danielle actress lost primary physical custody of her two sons – James, 12; and Leo, 10 – last March following a two-year, acrimonious divorce battle with ex-husband Kyle Newman after 13 years of marriage.
King’s sons spent Christmas with the 49-year-old music video director and his second wife Cynthia ‘Cyn’ Nabozny who, at 32, is 17 years younger than him.
The married couple of two years have since welcomed four-year-old son Etienne and two-year-old daughter Beatrix.
King – who still owes $100,000 legal fees – has supervised visitation with their sons ‘three times a week in specific hour blocks’ because she failed to complete a six-month drug/alcohol program with weekly testing, aftercare and a two-step program as well as a 26-week parenting program, individual counseling and conjoint counseling.
‘My duty as a mother is to protect my children. And that’s all that matters to me. This is scary,’ The Playground co-author lamented on the Whine Down podcast April 10.
‘I just didn’t know when I got married at a young age. I just didn’t know that the world works like this. I didn’t know that legal systems work like this. And not to sound like some kind of neophyte, but I thought that, you know, when you choose to love someone, then you love that person. You build a family with them, and, you trust them.’

King alleged that Newman – who called her a ‘chronic drug addict and alcoholic’ in legal docs – misrepresented the early part of their relationship in court in order to receive sole custody.
‘It’s terrifying, when to be able to be free means that you have to pay a very extreme price, and I’m not just talking about financially,’ the Nebraska-born blonde continued.
‘It’s very upsetting, and I will do everything in my power to change this system, and it’s not a will. I’m going to. There’s no price to pay for freedom.’
Newman claimed he went broke supporting their sons on his own as she repeatedly failed to pay him the court-ordered $429/month in child support or $1,000/month in spousal support.
Last November, King began filming Asif Akbar’s faith-based crime thriller Redemption in Las Vegas alongside Billy Zane, Jon Lovitz, Frank Stallone, Jon Lemmon and Weston Cage Coppola – according to Deadline.
The Hooligan Dreamers co-founder’s other upcoming films include Courtney Paige’s thriller Neon Candy, Kurt Martin’s grief drama The Room Below, Ben Demaree’s family flick Kaitlyn’s Chance, Brendan Gabriel Murphy & Shaun Hart’s indie thriller Blood Behind Us and Michael Naizu & John Wilcox’s coming-of-age drama Bound for Glory.
King is also an influencer with paid partnerships for brands like Rita Ghanime and Flower Knows Cosmetics.
