After being pictured looking cosy together, Nadiya confirmed the news of their relationship for the first time in April, revealing she and Kai had been dating "for a couple of months now".
Speaking to the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, the Ukrainian-born pro added: "It's early days and we've been rehearsing for the Strictly Professionals tour, so there's been very little free time.
"But we're getting to know more and more about each other day by day. He's kind and compassionate and makes me laugh. I feel very relaxed with him."
