Karen Hauer has been through a difficult year. The Venezuelan dancer, who is the longest-serving pro on Strictly Come Dancing, split from her husband Jordan Wyn-Jones after one year of marriage earlier this year. This news was confirmed after Karen walked the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet without her wedding ring.
After a tumultuous 2023, Karen took to Instagram on New Year's Eve to reflect on her 'trauma.' She shared a poem with her 316,000 followers, which began with 'I thought the trauma had broken me, but really it gave my life direction.' The poem went on to talk about how the 'toxicity made me embrace communication and honesty,' the 'manipulation made me realign with my own power,' the 'narcissism showed me that selflessness is needed,' and the 'chaos taught me to build boundaries.'
Karen accompanied her post with a snap of her enjoying a country walk, donning a puffer coat and hiking boots. Her fellow Strictly stars commented red hearts in the comments to show their support.
Jordan had previously shared how 'incredibly sad' he felt after their split. He told The Mail on Sunday that time apart due to Strictly took its toll on their marriage, and that there were 'tears on both sides' when they accepted that their marriage was over. He also admitted that he would've 'ended up resenting' Karen if they had stayed together and not had children.
Karen and Jordan's split has been anything but private, and Karen is now looking to move forward in 2024. With the support of her Strictly family and fans, she is sure to have a better year ahead.
