A Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer has been inundated with support after she shared a sweet relationship update with her fans on social media
Strictly Come Dancing star Lauren Oakley has been inundated with love after she posted a heartfelt relationship update. The 34-year-old professional dancer, who joined the Strictly family in 2022, has quickly danced her way into the hearts of viewers nationwide.
Despite not being paired with a celebrity in her debut year, Lauren’s second season saw her step out with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and reach the final with JB Gill in 2024, stepping in for Amy Dowden due to health reasons.
Amy is just one of the many voices offering their support as Lauren gave fans a glimpse into her romantic life. With a collection of sweet snaps alongside her husband Maximiliano, Lauren penned: “10 years with you by my side. The moment we spoke, my world changed forever. Thank you for teaching me what real love is, and thank you for keeping my heart safe.”
Amy chimed in with “Gorgeous pics,” while fellow ‘Strictly’ professionals Luba Mushtuk and Carlos Gu expressed their affection with heart emojis.
‘Strictly’ star Tasha Ghouri added her own heart emojis, and Jowita Przystal shared: “Happy 10 years guys x,” reports Edinburgh Live.
Fans were quick to join the celebration, with one saying: “Congratulations you two gorgeous people and here’s to the next 10 years and the 10 after that then repeat repeat xx.”
Another fan gushed: “Such a beautiful couple! here’s to many more years of happiness together!”
A third admirer commented: “Beautiful young couples happy anniversary 10th. Good memories photos love it.”
Lauren and Max tied the knot in September 2019, with the dancer expressing at the time: “We had an absolutely magical day full of sunshine, and we hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.
“We felt so at home around all of our loved ones and the wedding was exactly how we wanted it to be, comfortable, relaxed and like a huge house party in the English countryside… Only in a big white dress!”
Last year, Lauren posted a touching tribute to her husband on Instagram, stating: “This gorgeous husband of mine is always singing my praises, so it’s about time I shouted to the world about him.
“@maximontes93 finished and submitted his last assignment for his degree last night. A degree that he’s been working towards with @theopenuniversity for 5+ years.
“Whilst working a full time job, whilst fulfilling passion projects (studying Japanese, looking after our lovely little house, our plants and our fur babies), whilst building a life and finding his feet on the other side of the world with me, whilst still finding time to gym and run and whatever else was the fitness fad of the month… and whilst supporting me through my career too.
“I couldn’t be prouder. Well done my everything. You’ll probably hate this post ’cause you’re the loveliest, calmest, kind hearted, humble man… but I kinda wanna tell everyone how wonderful I think you are. Te amo.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
