Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington were once the golden couple of Strictly Come Dancing, but it seems their love story has come to an end. The professional dancers, who first met on the show in 2021, have reportedly split after two years together.
Their relationship, which blossomed during the 2022 season of Strictly, was once described as "magic" by Nadiya. She had previously been engaged to footballer Matija Škarabot, but after their breakup, she found love with her fellow dancer.
However, things seemed to have turned "frosty" between the pair in recent months. Speculation began when they started making solo appearances and sharing cryptic posts on social media. And now, a source has confirmed that they have indeed gone their separate ways, stating that the pressures of touring and performing took a toll on their relationship.
Despite this, Nadiya and Kai have remained "incredibly close" and have continued to work together on Strictly. But their recent appearance at the National Television Awards seemed to tell a different story. They arrived separately and did not interact on the red carpet, with Nadiya being one of the last to arrive.
Inside the event, they reportedly kept their distance and were kept apart by organizers to avoid any "awkward" moments. While the reason for their split remains unclear, it has been suggested that Kai's absence from this year's Strictly lineup may have played a role.
Despite not having a celebrity partner this season, Kai remains hopeful for the future and hopes to return to the show next year. Meanwhile, Strictly has faced its own controversy this year, with a bullying scandal and new guidelines being put in place for contestants.
As for Nadiya and Kai, it seems their love story has come to an end, but they will always have their shared memories of Strictly and the magic they created on the dancefloor.
