According to the MailOnline, Tasha and Giovanni reportedly first started getting to know each other after connecting on Instagram.
The pair apparently messaged privately on the app, before meeting in January.
During the pair’s short-lived romance, Giovanni, 31, took Tasha, 23, out for meals and drinks in London.
However, the dating didn’t really lead anywhere, as Giovanni was away a lot with the Strictly tour.
Giovanni Pernice romance
A source close to Tasha spoke to the MailOnline about hers and Giovanni’s dates.
They claimed that Giovanni was persistent when it came to Tasha.
“They have a lot in common, both being dancers, and he had just learned a lot about the deaf community performing with Rose on Strictly, who Tasha really admires,” they said.
“Tasha was impressed by how gentlemanly he was, taking her out to top London restaurants and offering to send cars to collect her, but she’s independent and always made her own way to see him,” they continued.
“Their romance didn’t progress because Giovanni was travelling a lot with the Strictly tour and Tasha was already involved with someone else.”
Giovanni’s reps had no comment to make when approached by ED!.

“I’ve dated Italian before and it’s not for me,” she said. However, she currently has her eye on Luca – who is half-Italian.
Giovanni, meanwhile, has had a string of high-profile romances in the past.
The 32-year-old was previously in a relationship with ex-Love Island star Maura Higgins last year.
He’s also had romances with Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts and Georgia May Foote too.
Love Island continues tonight (Wednesday, June 8) at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV hub.
