Strictly Come Dancing professional Karen Hauer set pulses racing with a passionate social media post live from the BBC show's grand final.
A Saucy Snapshot from the Ballroom
The 43-year-old dancer, who has been married three times, shared a raunchy image of herself wrapped around her boyfriend, personal trainer Simon Davidson, 35. The photo was taken on the iconic Strictly stage, surrounded by glittering mirrorballs, following the climax of the 2025 series.
In the shot, Hauer, wearing a rainbow-tasselled mini skirt and a see-through top, is seen kissing Davidson passionately. She accompanied the Instagram post with a heartfelt caption: "My rock [love heart emoji]. Never felt support like this before …I love you …."
Celebrity Friends React with Joy
The loved-up snap prompted an immediate and delighted response from Hauer's famous friends and colleagues. TV presenter Gaby Roslin and fellow Strictly pro Julian Caillon replied with strings of love heart emojis.
Love Island star Maura Higgins amped up the heat, commenting with five fiery flame emojis on the intimate post. The overwhelming sentiment from her peers was one of happiness for the dancer, who went public with Davidson in January 2024.
A Blossoming Romance After Past Heartbreak
Hauer's relationship with Davidson, a long-time friend of Strictly's Gorka Marquez, began towards the end of 2023. This followed her 2022 split from ex-husband Jordan Wyn-Jones.
The couple have since shared glimpses of their romance with fans, from cosy countryside strolls to a holiday selfie in June 2025, where Hauer nuzzled into Davidson's shoulder on a plane.
The Venezuelan-born star has recently been candid about her past relationships, including her painful divorce from former dance partner and Strictly star Kevin Clifton. Speaking on Paul C Brunson's 'We Need to Talk' podcast, she reflected on the breakdown of that marriage, stating it "hurt because we belonged together."
Her latest social media declaration suggests she has found a new source of strength and happiness with Davidson, proudly showcased on one of showbiz's biggest nights.
