Gorka Marquez, who recently announced his departure from Strictly Come Dancing after a decade, is set to spend more time at the lavish Manchester home he shares with fiancée Gemma Atkinson. The property features a state-of-the-art gym, which the fitness-focused couple use regularly.
The 35-year-old dancer met Atkinson, 41, on the show in 2017, and they now share two children, Mia, six, and Thiago, three. Their home includes a sprawling garden and a playroom, which Atkinson describes as 'chaos and messy with toys', but she cherishes it as a space for family.
The couple recently completed an extension after initial difficulties with builders. Atkinson told fans they had a 'nightmare' with the first builders but eventually found a reliable company. She previously described the home as her 'sanctuary' in an interview with House Beautiful.
A key feature is the home gym, complete with an eight-person sauna and ice bath combo for recovery. Atkinson admitted she was initially sceptical about the purchase but now uses it three to four times a week, noting its benefits for inflammation after training.
Marquez and Atkinson got engaged in February 2021, and Atkinson has joked about being the only one in the family not yet a Marquez. The couple met on Strictly in 2017, though they were paired with other partners, and confirmed their relationship on Valentine's Day 2018.
