Okay, let’s talk about the reliable (ahem) British press. They’ve linked her to a few people over the years. There was a whisper about her and a reality TV star, but that fizzled out faster than a sparkler in the rain. Then there was a rumor she was dating a mystery man from her gym, which her Instagram liked but never confirmed.
Strictly pro breaks silence on heartbreaking exit after fans left
Most recently, the rumor mill went into overdrive during last season. She was partnered with a hunky celebrity, and fans shipped them hard. You know the drill—lingering glances, hand-holding backstage, matching smiles. But Karen shut that down with a laugh, saying, “We’re just professional partners!” And honestly? She’s too good at making every partner look like a crush. It’s called acting, people!
The truth is, tabloids need drama to sell papers. If Karen isn’t giving them a story, they’ll just invent one. So treat those headlines like a bad paso doble—entertaining, but not to be taken seriously.
The best evidence: she’s living her best life
Forget the gossip for a second. Look at Karen’s actual life. She’s traveling the world (hello, dreamy Greece photos), working out like a beast, and hanging out with her adorable dog. She’s also a businesswoman, launching her own fitness line and teaching workshops. That’s a full plate, my friend.
She once said in an interview that she’s “finally happy being alone,” and honestly? That’s a power move. Maybe she is in a relationship—with herself. And who can blame her? After the Strictly circus and a very public divorce, a quiet life with a good cup of tea and a loyal dog sounds like heaven.
Also, consider the timing. Strictly is a brutal schedule. You’re dancing eight hours a day, sequins flying, judges shouting, and the public voting. When would she even have time for dates? “Sorry, I can’t do dinner—I’m learning a salsa routine with a former rugby player.” Yeah, that’s a mood.
