NADIYA & KAI: ‘We are each other’s support system’
Strictly pros Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have been going from strength-to-strength in their relationship. Here they tell Closer how their new tour has united them more then ever
Strictly Come Dancing has long played Cupid, with connections formed on the show often developing into long-lasting relationships. And one of the more recent couples to emerge from the show are professional dancers Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington, who went public with their romance last April.
Nadiya – who hails from Ukraine – joined the Strictly family in 2017, while Southampton-born Kai is still relatively new on the scene, having been involved for two seasons.
His 2021 debut not only earned fans’ adoration, but Nadiya’s too. The pair have been going from strength-to-strength in their relationship and even got a pet pooch together last year – abulldog called Snoopy.
And speaking to Closer at the Dune London x Nadiya & Kai event, Kai, 27, says the pair are happier than ever, and are loving every minute of their Once Upon A Time tour.
TALENTED
He says, “We’re always there for each other and are very much each other’s support system.
“With our tour, we’re getting to do something that we really enjoy and it’s done our way, to music we want to dance to. It just so happens that we dance really well together, even if we do say so ourselves!
“When we’re not dancing, our favourite thing to do is eat. We love having a really nice dinner or just chilling together, watching TV and eating cheese!”
