KEEPING IN STEP - 'Of course we want family in the future -absolutely!'

Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima, 30, and his dancer wife Giada Lini, 32, are at the peak of their busy careers. Graziano will soon be paired up with another celebrity partner and returning to his intense Strictly rehearsal schedule – a job he adores, but readily admits takes “every minute of his time”.

Fortunately, it’s a lifestyle Giada understands all too well, as at the same time she will return to their homeland of Italy to take part in the Italian version of Dancing With the Stars, where she also performs as a professional dancer.

Despite admitting their schedules can be tough on their relationship, the couple, who have been together for 10 years and married in July 2022, are more loved-up than ever. They still make sure they find ways to spend quality time together, and when OK! catches up with them for a chat, they have just returned from a romantic holiday at the lavish Sandals Dunn’s River in Jamaica.

The getaway couldn’t have come at a better time for the pair, who say it was a dream to be able to soak up every last bit of time together in paradise before they are separated by their busy jobs.

Here, the couple tell us about their plans to start a family, their secret to a long and happy relationship and how they navigate the so-called Strictly curse...

Hi Graziano and Giada. How are you both? Your holiday looked incredible...

Giada: It was a dream holiday in the best place. We had the chance to be together. We’d had a tough year because we both dance a lot. I did Dancing With The Stars in Italy and Graziano did Strictly. So we finally had the chance to be together in paradise.
