The professional dancer, known for captivating audiences with her stunning performances on the BBC hit show, appears happier than ever as she embarks on this new chapter in her personal life.
From Dance Floor to Real-Life Romance
The Ukrainian-born dancer, who joined Strictly in 2017, had been engaged to Slovenian dancer Matija Škarabot for six years before their relationship came to an end earlier this year. Sources close to the couple revealed that the split was amicable, with both parties deciding to go their separate ways after growing apart.
"Nadiya and Matija had been struggling for a while," an insider shared. "They tried to make it work but ultimately decided it was best to part ways. There's no bad blood between them - they simply grew in different directions."
Meet Nadiya's New Man
Leo Temple, an Australian-born law student turned model and actor based in London, has been spotted enjoying several romantic outings with the Strictly star. The couple were recently photographed looking cozy during a shopping trip in the capital, with Nadiya beaming as they strolled arm-in-arm.
At 29 years old, Temple brings an international flair to the relationship, having studied at the University of Law in London after moving from Australia. His diverse career has seen him model for prestigious brands including Hackett and appear in television commercials, while also pursuing acting opportunities.
Motherhood and Moving Forward
Nadiya, who shares six-year-old daughter Mila with Škarabot, has been navigating the challenges of co-parenting while embracing her new relationship. Friends say she's handling the transition with grace and putting her daughter's wellbeing first.
"Nadiya is an incredible mother, and Mila will always be her priority," a friend revealed. "She's taking things slowly with Leo and making sure everything feels right for her family."
Strictly's Relationship Curse Strikes Again?
The news continues Strictly Come Dancing's reputation for relationship shake-ups among its professional dancers. However, Nadiya appears to be handling the spotlight with her characteristic poise and professionalism.
Fans of the show have been quick to share their support for the dancer on social media, with many expressing happiness that she's found love again after her previous long-term relationship ended.
As the new Strictly season approaches, all eyes will be on Nadiya both on and off the dance floor as she balances her professional commitments with her exciting new romance.
