Portia Oduba, the estranged wife of Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba, has spoken about the emotional toll of their split, revealing that their two young children were 'really upset' after learning the family home had to be sold earlier this year.
The 36-year-old former TV researcher said her 'stomach is all over the place' as she prepares to move her children to a new school in Kent and leave behind her close network of mum friends. 'I’ve just been feeling really anxious this week,' she told followers.
Portia, who recently qualified as a personal trainer, is rebuilding her life following the divorce. She has been forced to sell the family home in Tunbridge Wells, though the children will remain in the same area. 'I feel really overwhelmed with it all. I also feel like I’m leaving my support network,' she added tearfully.
Last week, Ore Oduba opened up about his addiction to pornography, which he said 'destroyed' his life and cost him thousands of pounds. The couple's nine-year marriage ended in October 2024. They share two children: Roman, eight, and Genie, four.
Despite the upheaval, Portia has found happiness in a new relationship with British-German businessman Joshua Saxon Birch, which she confirmed on social media last year. Meanwhile, Oduba has been keeping busy with theatre work and is set to embark on a UK tour with his former Strictly partner Joanne Clifton.
