Strictly Come Dancing couple Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have spilled on their hopes to tie the knot someday.
Nadiya, 33, and Kai, 27, are thought to have started dating in early 2022 with the pair publicly confirming their romance in April last year.
Since going public with their love, the pair have grown closer and closer – with Nadiya revealing how her Strictly beau has formed a bond with her daughter Mila, who is from her relationship with her ex Matija Škarabot.
Now, the pair have teased the idea of marriage in a brand new interview with OK! magazine.
Nadiya spilled: "Marriage is important to me.
"One day I would like to be a wife, and extend my family."
Meanwhile, Kai added: "It’s a future I want, too, absolutely.
"I would love to be a dad and one day be a husband and have a family. Ultimately, we’re not trying to start a family right now, but we are trying to create that family feeling among us and that’s important."
And, while the pair seem smitten, they both openly admit that having a romance in the public eye is far from easy.
"Being in the public eye is tough," Nadiya said. "But some people can’t be together because there’s actually a war going on so I always say, no matter how difficult things get, there are worse things happening to other people. We’re very lucky to have what we have."
While Kai explained: "It wasn’t nice and we had some not nice headlines written about us.
"We just stuck together and said, 'I want to be with you and we’re going to make it work.'"
As the pair confirmed their romance in April last year, it was reported the loved-up Strictly Come Dancing professionals had moved in together. But, the couple have now denied it – with Nadiya explaining she won't rush a romance for the sake of her daughter Mila, six.
Kai said: "That was a lie," while Nadiya added: "I’m a single mum and am very protective over my daughter. Kai and Mila have a beautiful relationship but moving in together, it’s a big step. I’m sure every mum in my position would agree."
However, the dancer and her daughter have relocated to the UK permanently for the sake of Mila's schooling.
"I have a new relationship and I moved my whole life here last year so Mila could go to school in the UK," Nadiya revealed. "It was big for Mila – it’s a new language, new people, but she loves it. It’s not that simple to balance it all – we both have careers on the rise and I have a family to look after. There’s a lot of pressure but we’re so lucky because we’re doing what we love and we have each other. It’s having that one person you can always count on and who’ll be there no matter what."
