Strictly star Nadiya Bychkova's ex-fiancé 'unfollows her on social media' after split

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova's ex-fiancé has unfollowed her on social media following their split.

It was recently reported that the 32-year-old and her Slovenian footballer fiancé Matija Škarabot, 33, called time on their relationship.

The two - who share a five-year-old daughter together - were reportedly struggling with their long-term relationship.

And now, it has been reported that the footballer has unfollowed her on social media. His account is private on Instagram.

Nadiya still follows him.

According to MailOnline, the couple haven't been properly together for 'some time now'.

"Nadiya and Matija haven't been together for some time now," an insider close to the beauty explained . "Matija is dedicated to his footballing career in Slovenia and Nadiya is predominantly based in London.

"Performing on Strictly and the Strictly Live Tour takes up half her year, in the end the commitment to their jobs made it too difficult for the relationship to work."

The source added that the former couple is focused on their daughter Mila and co-parenting the best they can.

It is understood that the dancer's fellow co-star Kai Widdrington supported her through the ordeal.

An insider had told that Nadiya has since formed a "very strong" friendship with Kai, 26, and that he has been "a rock" for her.

An insider told The Sun: "Nadiya and Kai have incredible chemistry, and a very strong friendship.

“Right from week one they ­connected, and are always laughing and messing about."
