"Thank you but I never had one. Always had cats so..."
Kristina and Ben have been together since meeting on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013.
While they don't have any plans to marry at the moment, Kristina revealed in an exclusive interview with HELLO! in 2019 that she does have a desire to wed her long-term partner. "You know what? We don't have the time and we don't have the energy right now, but it will probably be in a couple of years." The mother-of-one added: "We'll get to it when it all calms down. Hopefully, we'll gather the family around and it'll happen."
The happy couple share daughter Mila, three. The retired rugby player is also the proud father of twins Harriet and Isabelle, 11, from his previous marriage. The three girls are "besotted with each other", said Ben, adding: "It's amazing when you see them together. They live for one another and they're best mates. My girls are my everything."
