Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff from the popular TV show “Strictly Come Dancing” have reignited their romantic relationship following a breakup due to financial difficulties. The couple, who originally met on the show, are speculated to have fallen victim to the so-called “Strictly curse.”
Earlier this year, reports surfaced that rugby player Ben and professional dancer Kristina had ended their relationship, only six months after Ben had expressed efforts to salvage their bond and family. However, their recent close interaction at a fashion event suggests a reconciliation. Witnesses observed Kristina with her arm around Ben at the event, where one of Ben’s daughters was also present.
Sources close to the couple revealed that they have chosen to give their relationship another chance and were visibly affectionate towards each other.
The pair had ventured into business together, including owning a yoga studio, but faced financial struggles during the pandemic. Ben disclosed in court that he had to fight to prevent losing his assets, including his cars, house, and his relationship with Kristina.
Following their split, Ben and Kristina listed their £1.75 million Northants home for sale but have not yet found a buyer. Their romantic involvement dates back to their time as dance partners on “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2013, a period during which both ended their previous relationships.
The couple’s history has sparked rumors of being influenced by the “Strictly curse,” a phenomenon where celebrities or professional dancers end their existing relationships to be with their dance partners. This curse has been associated with other couples in the past, such as Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole, as well as Seann Walsh and Katya Jones, whose actions resulted in the dissolution of their relationships.
