Strictly Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington has officially turned the page on his romance with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, stepping out with his new girlfriend Chloe Wells in a series of intimate London outings.
The 28-year-old dancer, who captured the nation's heart on the BBC dance competition, appears smitten with his new partner as they've been photographed sharing tender moments around the capital. The couple looked completely at ease during their recent appearances, marking a fresh start for Widdrington following his highly-publicised split earlier this year.
A New Chapter Begins
Widdrington and Wells have been inseparable in recent weeks, with eyewitnesses reporting seeing the pair enjoying cosy dinners and casual strolls through London's streets. Their body language suggests a comfortable, established relationship that has clearly moved beyond the early dating stages.
"They looked completely wrapped up in each other," one onlooker noted. "There was lots of laughing and they seemed very natural together - like they've been a couple for some time."
From Dance Floor to Real Life Romance
The new relationship comes just months after Widdrington's emotional split from Ukrainian professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, 34. Their romance had captivated Strictly fans after blossoming during their time together on the show, though sources close to the pair confirmed their separation in early 2024.
While neither Widdrington nor Bychkova publicly addressed the reasons for their breakup, insiders suggested the pressures of their demanding schedules and constant public scrutiny took their toll on the relationship.
Who Is Chloe Wells?
Chloe Wells, an accomplished fashion industry professional, appears to be the perfect match for the dancing star. With her background in the style world and understanding of celebrity culture, she seems well-equipped to handle the spotlight that comes with dating a Strictly professional.
The couple's low-key approach to their new relationship contrasts sharply with Widdrington's previous high-profile romance, suggesting both parties are keen to keep their personal lives away from the public eye for now.
Strictly's Curse Strikes Again?
The development continues what fans have dubbed "the Strictly curse" - the phenomenon where relationships formed on the show often face challenges when the glitterball competition ends. While Widdrington and Bychkova's romance began during their professional partnership rather than with a celebrity contestant, their story still follows the pattern of Strictly relationships struggling to transition to everyday life.
As the new Strictly season approaches, all eyes will be on how Widdrington navigates his professional commitments while building this new relationship away from the dance floor.
