James was first linked with Kylie last December, when the pair were spotted holidaying together in Aspen, Colorado.

The beautiful brunette - who is thought to significantly younger than James and aged in her thirties - is a prominent New York socialite.

A source is alleged to have told Woman's Day that 'James is completely besotted with Kylie and is spending less and less time with his usual inner-circle.'

The couple are currently vacationing together in St. Tropez on the French Riveria.  

Another friend of James' reportedly told the magazine that the businessman is 'finally feeling back to normal and is enjoying having no cares or worries since he resigned as Crown Resorts director earlier in the year'.

Back in March, the casino mogul made the shock decision to step down from his senior role, citing unspecified mental health reasons.

Shortly after, the father-of-three voluntarily checked himself into the $35,0000-a-week McLean Hospital in Belmont, Boston.

However, nearly three months on, James appears in much happier spirits soaking up the sun in St. Tropez with Kylie by his side.

The pair were seen putting on a loved-up display as they held hands before boarding a private yacht in the resort town on Sunday.
