Strictly Romance Tango Takes a Twirl: Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen Split
Former Strictly Come Dancing stars Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen reportedly split after 12 years together, following a romance begun on the show. They welcomed a daughter Mila in 2016 but have faced significant financial struggles recently, impacting their relationship. With hints of their connections to past relationships and the infamous “Strictly curse,” the couple’s breakup adds another layer of intrigue to their story.
Uh-oh! It seems the glittering romance born from the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing has hit a bump in the waltz lane. Former Strictly pro Kristina Rihanoff and her rugby star partner Ben Cohen appear to have hung up their dancing shoes after 12 years together. They began their love story on the show while Ben was still tangoing with his ex-wife Abby, proving indeed that the Strictly curse is real—or perhaps it’s more of a boomerang curse?
In no time, the two fell head over heels, and shortly after Ben’s split from Abby, they were dancing like no one was watching. The couple welcomed their daughter Mila back in 2016, but it seems all is not as well as a Cha-Cha. Sources say, “It’s like the curse in reverse,” hinting at sweet revenge against Abby, confirming once again that love triangles can be more dramatic than a soap opera!
But wait, there’s more! Recently in court, it was revealed the couple is grappling with financial woes, so much so that it feels like they’re trying to juggle a flaming sword while riding a unicycle. Ben shared, “I get up every day and I fight not to lose everything… I’m so overdrawn.” It’s clear financial stress has waltzed into their home and isn’t leaving without a fight!
Ben, the rugby champ, had a pretty stellar career, playing for Northampton, Brive, and the England team, while Kristina dazzled the Strictly stage from 2008 to 2015 before strutting into the Big Brother House. One thing is for sure: they both know how to put on a show, but unfortunately, the show of their relationship seems to be on hold for now!
All in all, love might be grand, but the music has faded for Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen after 12 blissful years. The tale of their romance is tinged with drama and difficult finances, proving once again that even glittering love stories can have their choreographed missteps. Let’s hope they get back on track—either by dancing it out or sorting out their financial tango!
