Nadiya Bychkova, the Ukrainian-born dancer, has been making waves both on the Strictly Come Dancing stage and beyond. Known for her elegant moves, exceptional talent, and mesmerising performances, she's a firm favourite among fans.
‌
However, behind the sequins and spotlights, her personal life is a tale of love, heartache, and unwavering commitment to her profession.
‌
She split with her footballer fiancé Matija Škarabot, who is also the father of her daughter, Mila, choosing instead to concentrate on her burgeoning career.
‌
This isn't the first time Nadiya's romantic life has taken a backseat to her professional pursuits.
From multiple engagements to high-profile relationships, Nadiya's personal journey has been anything but calm, reports the Express.

We delve into her past romances, revealing the passionate and often stormy path that has shaped her.
Nadiya and Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot seemed to be going strong, even welcoming their daughter Mila into the world. However, the demands of a long-distance relationship eventually took their toll.
While Matija stayed in Slovenia with Mila, Nadiya's career kept her in the UK, competing on Strictly.
‌
The pressures of distance and work commitments ultimately led to their split, with Nadiya quietly deciding to end the relationship.
During a particularly difficult period, Nadiya found solace in her close bond with fellow Strictly professional Kai Widdrington. Amidst the emotional strain of her breakup, insiders disclosed that Nadiya was determined to concentrate on her professional life.
"She's fiery, passionate, and stunningly sexy," an insider confided to The Sun.

"She approaches her love life the way she approaches the dance floor."
Nadiya's romantic history has been closely linked with her fervour for dancing, starting with her initial romance with Miha Vodicar. Together, they not only shared a personal connection but also dominated the dance floor, securing the world champion title in 10 Dance in both 2014 and 2015.
‌
Yet, their union faced challenges in 2010 when Nadiya took part in Slovenia's version of Strictly, Star Dance.
After their split, Miha later conceded their relationship was "tempestuous" and it "broke [his] heart."
Despite the upheaval, Nadiya and Miha continued their dance partnership even as she navigated through the pregnancy with Mila. Miha reflected on the experience: "It took maybe a year for us to really get past it."
‌
Ultimately, Nadiya's unwavering commitment to her craft led her to move forward from Miha in both her personal and professional life, maintaining their dance partnership well beyond the end of their romance.

In a touching letter penned to Miha whilst expecting Mila, Nadiya poured out her profound respect and appreciation for their partnership. "When we first danced together, I knew we could succeed," she wrote.
‌
"We reached high, more than that, basically everything. In the most beautiful embrace, we danced to the very top.
"Now, when our paths diverge, I want you, from the bottom of my heart, to achieve all the goals that you have set yourself," Nadiya penned.
Nadiya's love life has witnessed numerous relationships and matrimonial ventures. Following her separation from Peter Klinc, she embarked on a brief romance with renowned Slovenian musician Jan Plestenjak, although their connection proved fleeting.
‌
Before long, Nadiya discovered romance once more, this time with Russian performer Sergey Konovaltsev. Their passionate courtship culminated in a spectacular proposal when Sergey theatrically dropped to one knee at a dance competition prize-giving event.
Caught off guard by his audacious gesture, Nadiya said yes, subsequently declaring: "I think I've found everything."
Nevertheless, their union proved short-lived and the pair separated in 2015. Following this, she sought comfort with businessman Anzet Cerin, although their liaison was similarly fleeting.

Professing her affection for him openly, Nadiya posted on Facebook: "Since I've met you, there's no one worth thinking about."
Yet within 12 months, the relationship had ended.
