Nicky, 30, and James, who is a British banker, first met in 2011 at the wedding of Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt in Odescalchi castle, the spectacular 15th-century Italian fort where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also married. They pair are now embarking on a road trip around Italy, which Nicky has been sharing on Instagram with her fans.
