Most recently, Kai shared a series of images and videos to his Instagram showing the boyfriend and girlfriend enjoying the many adventures they've shared over the past year.

The first adorable snap sees Kai and Nadiya facing each other in a pool, with Nadiya wrapping her arm around her beau's neck. The second was a video of the couple clinking their drinks while they holidayed in the Maldives earlier this summer.

Kai, who reached the semi-finals of Strictly in his first year in 2021 alongside AJ Odudu, captioned the sweet post: "Happy birthday baby girl. Another full trip around the sun with you, making my world shine 365 days a year.

Nadiya and Kai have been dating since they met on the show in 2021 when Kai joined as a professional dancer. The couple are clearly extremely loved up and even took their relationship to the next level when they expanded their family last October when they welcomed their puppy, Snoopy into their home.

"We have managed to keep it quiet for a week now whilst our latest edition has settled in… but everyone please welcome 'SNOOPY'," shared Kai at the time.
