Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has sent fans into a frenzy after revealing she and long-term partner Joe Sugg are actively planning for a baby. The red-haired dynamo, known for her dazzling performances on the BBC hit show, opened up about their future family plans in a surprisingly candid new interview.
The couple, who met on the 2018 series of Strictly, have been inseparable ever since. While they didn't lift the Glitterball Trophy together, they won something far greater: a lasting romance that has captivated their millions of combined followers.
"We talk about it all the time," Dianne confessed about their baby plans. "We're both in a really happy place in our lives and our careers, and it feels like the natural next step for us."
From Dance Partners to Life Partners
The couple's love story began when YouTube star Joe was paired with Dianne for the sixteenth series of Strictly. Their chemistry was immediate, both on and off the dance floor, and they quickly became one of the most beloved pairings in the show's history.
Now, nearly six years later, they've built a life together in their countryside home, complete with a menagerie of pets that they jokingly refer to as "practice" for parenthood.
Timing Is Everything
While excited about the prospect of becoming parents, Dianne emphasised that they're being sensible about their timing. "We want to make sure we're completely ready," she explained. "There's a lot to consider with our work schedules, especially with Strictly being such a huge commitment each year."
The Australian-born dancer also hinted that they already have names picked out and even revealed they lean towards more traditional choices rather than trendy celebrity-style names.
Fans have flooded social media with support for the couple, with many noting how their genuine relationship has been a joy to watch unfold. From their first dance together to potentially becoming parents, Dianne and Joe's journey continues to be one that captures the heart of the nation.
