Olympic boxing hero, Nicola Adams, 42, has put her Leeds home on the market two months after splitting from Ella Baig, 27.
Last month, Nicola confirmed that she and Ella had parted ways after Ella's career as an OnlyFans model, which included posing nude snaps and engaging in explicit chat, put a strain on their relationship.
Now, the Strictly star is making a fresh start by listing one of her properties - a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Leeds - for £950,000.
Nicola also owns a home in south London where she resided with Ella and their two-year-old son Taylor.
Her Leeds property, which has been described as a 'fantastic family home', extends to almost 2,300 sq. ft, with potential for extension, 'providing ample space for growing families.'
There is also plenty of outdoor space, with luscious garden space comprising almost 1/3 of an acre - and a garden room to view the greenery when the weather takes a turn.
Inside, the property boasts an open plan living and dining kitchen area, an en-suite bedroom and a home gym.
Nicola's decision to sell comes after she broke her silence on her split from Ella.
The boxer and the model ended their romance in March despite attempting to resolve any potential differences via couples' therapy.
Nicola explained: 'I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella's career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans.'
She added: 'However, as much as I respect what she does, I can't deny that it has had an impact on our relationship.'
Nicola admitted there have been challenging times as they navigate the break up, especially when co-parenting their son.
The couple began dating in 2018 after meeting each other on a night out - and they subsequently opted to use fertility treatments in order to have their first and only child with the egg fertilised by a sperm donor who resembled Ella.
Ella carried the baby and gave birth a month early via caesarean section - with their son Taylor being born in July 2022.
Confessing they have both been to therapy she added: 'Right now, we're navigating this as openly and honestly as possible, with the priority being our little boy.'
Nicola also explained the split has been a gradual process and they tried months of therapy before calling it quits.
She explained that after the therapy sessions, both separately and together, they tried to heal their trauma but then decided it would be easier to split.
Yet the star made it clear that future dating isn't on her mind right now and she isn't looking for a rebound but would rather just focus on her work and being a mum.
Speaking at the time of their split a spokesman for Nicola said: 'Nicola and Ella have shared an incredible journey together, full of love, growth, and resilience.
'After much thoughtful reflection and important therapy work, they have made the difficult decision to separate.
'Their priority remains their son, Taylor, and they are committed to co-parenting with love and respect.'
According to a report from The Sun, a source close to Nicola and Ella said: 'They really tried to make it work, especially for the sake of their son, and even went to couples' therapy, but came to the conclusion that they were better off separating.
'They still have a lot of love for each other, and great memories, but are focused on being brilliant co-parents.'

Nicola shot to fame in 2012 after winning gold at her home Olympics, becoming the first female boxer to ever win a medal at the Games, before going on to defend her title at Rio 2016.
After winning the WBO flyweight title in 2019, she retired later that year but returned to the public eye with an appearance in the 18th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2020.
Featuring as part of the programme's first same-sex couple alongside professional Katya Jones - the pair were forced to withdraw from the show in its fourth week after Jones tested positive for COVID-19.
The following year, Nicola appeared on screens alongside Ella, with the duo featuring on Celebrity Gogglebox.
