Nadiya ended her engagement with Mila's father, footballer Matija Škarabot, back in 2021. Nadiya has since found love with fellow Strictly star, Kai Widdrington.
Back in April, the blonde beauty confirmed their romance after weeks of speculation. Speaking to Weekend Magazine, she 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."

Elsewhere in the interview, Nadiya opened up about her split from Matija. "You're apart for so much of your lives and neither of us wanted that. Unfortunately, we grew apart," she explained.
She went on to say: "Having a child surpasses everything else. We make sure it all works around her and we both understand our responsibilities."
