In an exclusive interview, Nadiya and Kai revealed that despite public misconception, they are yet to take their year-long relationship to the next level and move in together as they admit it is ‘difficult’ being under the watchful gaze of their loyal fanbase.<\/p>\n
Nadiya, who shares daughter Mila with ex-fianc\u00e9e Matija \u0160karabot, explained that it took herself and Kai some time to establish their feelings for each other, while Strictly viewers were keen to discover if they had become the show’s first professional pairing to find love on the dance floor.<\/p>\n
She said: ‘At the beginning we were still figuring it out for ourselves! It is easier now in the sense that everyone knows we’re together but having a relationship in the public eye is tough.’<\/p>\n
Kai added: ‘Everything is scrutinised,’ before Nadiya continued, ‘but there are some positives, we get to do what we love, and create the show, so it’s how you balance it<\/p>\n
