Strictly Come Daning star Karen Hauer has reportedly split from her husband just one year on from tying the knot.
The 41-year-old who is Strictly’s longest-serving professional dancer married Jordan in June last year. However, she was spotted attending last week’s Pride of Britain Awards without her wedding ring.
Speaking about their relationship a source told The Mirror: “Karen and Jordan have had a tough time in the past few months and decided to split. It’s obviously very sad for both of them. But there’s no ill-will whatsoever.”

The professional dancer – who last week scored the first 10 of the series with partner Eddie Kadi, has had highly publicised relationships in the past. Karen was previously married for three years to fellow Strictly pro Kevin Clifton however they decided to end things in 2018.
Before this, Karen had nine-year marriage to Matthew Hauer, but they split in 2009 – the same year that they auditioned together on US reality show So You Think You Can Dance. Describing her big day back in 2015 to Kevin, Karen told This Morning presenters: “It was fantastic, it was like a dream. We had sweaty hands, I almost felt like I was going on a first date…

“Right before I walked down the aisle I started panicking and crying, like ‘Mom I don’t know if I can do this?’… [But] he makes me feel really safe.” Clifton also shared his take at the time and said: “I was more nervous than I’ve ever been… [Strictly] seems so easy compared to the wedding…”
Karen tied the knot to Jordan last year in a lavish ceremony at Chewton Glen in Hampshire. She told Hello magazine that the experience had been “a fairytale”.
However in August this year, she revealed that they were going through counselling. She said at the time: “Communication is massive, but learning how to communicate… we get outside help. It’s seeing each other’s vulnerable side, and understanding.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday and Sunday from 6.30pm on BBC One or catch up on BBC iPlayer.
