Karen Hauer is reportedly dating personal trainer Simon Davidson, after divorcing from her husband, Jordan Wyn-Jones.
The Venezuelan dancer, best known for being the longest-serving female Strictly professional, split from her third husband just 16 months after their marriage. Sources say the pair split ‘amicably’ after less than two years together.
At the time, a source revealed to 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.

“The split is amicable, and they wish each other the best.” Now, the 41-year-old has reportedly been spotted with former rugby player Simon Davidson on a loved-up getaway in the Lake District – and the pair are said to be an item.

The personal trainer was first spotted leaving the Strictly Come Dancing final with Karen in the same car. Manchester-based Simon works as a senior sports marketing manager for Adidas.
Although their relationship was platonic at first, the pair’s friendship blossomed into love, reports say. One source told The Mirror: “Karen and Simon have lots in common, so when Gemma and Gorka introduced them, they hit it off immediately.
“Karen was keen to take things slowly and they were friends for a while at first. But gradually things became romantic, and though they have tried to keep their relationship quiet, they are now a proper couple.”
On Instagram Karen recently made reference to her most important relationship: that with herself. In a heartfelt Instagram message, the dancer alluded to her split and new beginnings.
She wrote, “I thought the trauma had broken me, but really it gave my life direction. The toxicity made me embrace communication and honesty.

“The manipulation made me realign with my own power. The narcissism showed me that selflessness is needed.
“The chaos taught me to build boundaries. The hurt showed me that healing and rebirth are possible.”
Jordan Wyn-Jones blamed Strictly Come Dancing for the couple’s split, telling the Mail Online: “I will always admire [Karen] for her career but it took her away from me a lot. She’d be away and I’d be at home on my own.”
Jordan continued, explaining that the two were ultimately on different paths: “We wanted different things. There was a plan about having children but then there wasn’t a plan.
“If we’d stayed together and we didn’t have a family, I felt I would have ended up resenting her. This is the perfect moment for us to love each other and leave each other.”
