In December 2019, Bruno was linked to a 29-year-old British model called Matt Law after they were spotted out together at the Mary Poppins Returns premiere, but they denied any romance and said that they were just close friends.
Bruno's career as a judge

Sharing the very understandable reason, he told Radio Times magazine: "I've been doing it for 14 years and I never watched a single show because I don't want to become self-conscious. But we recently made a DVD of all the best dances from Blackpool – that was the first time I watched something back."
His decision to leave the hit BBC show in 2022 was due to his exhausting travel schedule, which saw him travelling back and forth between the UK and the States each week. "I'm done," he told The Sun, adding: "I just can't do it anymore." The Italian judge, who has appeared on Strictly since the first series, has since focused his energy on filming Britain’s got Talent and Dancing With The Stars.
