Strictly's Kai Widdrington Is Living His Best Life After Nadiya Split
Have you seen Kai Widdrington lately? The Strictly Come Dancing star is absolutely glowing these days! During his recent appearance on ITV's Lorraine, Kai couldn't help but light up when talking about his new girlfriend, Chloe Wells. It's been nine months since his relationship with fellow dancer Nadiya Bychkova ended, and the transformation is remarkable. In his own words, he's "the happiest I've ever been" – and honestly, it shows.
Fresh Start, New Energy
But it's not just his love life that has Kai walking on sunshine. His new tour, aptly named "Evolution," has just launched, and it's going brilliantly. When chatting with stand-in host Christine Lampard, he revealed something pretty impressive – he's in the best shape he's been in since his teenage years. At 17, to be exact!
"I've made some really important changes in my life," Kai shared, with that unmistakable sparkle in his eyes. You know the one – that look people get when they've finally figured things out.
And for anyone wondering about his Strictly future (those rumors do get around, don't they?), Kai put the gossip to rest. He'll be back in the training room this July, ready to dazzle us on the dance floor once again.
Christine, never one to miss a trick, playfully pointed out that finding a "gorgeous girl" probably had something to do with his newfound happiness. Kai couldn't help but agree, describing this phase as a "new chapter" that's unfolding "at the perfect time." Don't you just love when timing works out like that?
Instagram Official (Because It's Not Real Until It's Posted)
If you've been following Kai on social media, you'll have spotted those adorable couple photos he's been sharing with Chloe. They recently made things "Instagram official" – that modern relationship milestone we all recognize – with some seriously sweet snapshots that had fans double-tapping like crazy.
Their most recent picture from a night out together says it all – two people who just can't stop smiling around each other. The comments section quickly filled with supportive messages, with one fan writing what we're all thinking: "Never seen Kai look so smitten!"
Word has it they're planning a red carpet debut soon. From meeting in a London pub (how refreshingly normal, right?) to potentially walking a red carpet together – that's quite the romantic fast-forward! Sources close to the couple say Chloe is perfectly happy staying somewhat out of the spotlight, which might be exactly what Kai needs after his previous relationship played out so publicly.
The Ex Factor
Speaking of which, things between Kai and Nadiya seem... professionally cordial. While they still work together on Strictly, Nadiya made it crystal clear to The Mirror that they're colleagues, not friends. "We dance together, and that's it," she reportedly said. It's that classic workplace situation many of us have experienced – maintaining professionalism when personal relationships change.
Interestingly, Kai spoke quite warmly about Nadiya in a Hello! magazine interview last year, praising her beauty, kindness, and dedication as a mother to her daughter Mila. But that was then, and this is now – and now is all about Chloe.
What's Next for Kai?
With his tour receiving rave reviews, his Strictly return confirmed, and romance blooming, Kai Widdrington seems to be hitting his stride in every area of life. Isn't it fascinating how sometimes the end of one relationship creates space for not just new love, but also personal growth and professional success?
His journey from heartbreak to happiness reminds us that good things often come after difficult endings. As Kai steps into this exciting new chapter, fans are eagerly watching to see where his dance steps – both on and off the floor – will take him next.
Perhaps there's a lesson here for all of us about embracing change and staying open to new possibilities. After all, who doesn't love a good comeback story with a romantic twist?
