A source spoke to The Sun about the pro dancers’ ‘romance’. They said: “Nadiya and Kai appeared to be very much an item and their chemistry was palpable during the rehearsals — even when they weren’t dancing.

“There were quiet moments when they hugged and shared a quick kiss. Nadiya and Kai seem very happy together. It is all very sweet.”

The Sun also claims that Nadiya has unfollowed her ex, Matija Skarabot, too.

Nadiya’s dilemma back home

Nadiya’s reported romance with Kai seems to be going well. However, if rumours are to be believed, it could be far more complicated than first thought.

According to sources, Nadiya’s mother and family back in Slovenia seem to believe that she and Matija are still together.

Matija, who Nadiya shares a daughter with, is reportedly currently living in Nadiya’s mother’s home.

A source spoke to The Sun about Nadiya’s complicated romance with Kai. They said: “It’s tricky for her being with Kai. Everything back home is still as it was before. Her mum lives with her ex-fiance in the same house and Nadiya still even drives his car.

“As far as everyone is concerned in Slovenia, people think they’re still together,” they continued.

“It looks as though she will fly back and forth to make things work, but she still sees Slovenia as home so it’s going to be rather difficult.”

Kai and Nadiya’s romance on Strictly Come Dancing

Back in January, during rehearsals for the Strictly Come Dancing tour, rumours swirled that Nadiya and Kai were an item.

It was reported that Kai, 26, was comforting Nadiya following her split from Matija.

Not long after, the couple were pictured kissing in a hotel bar in Newcastle.
