Shirley Ballas, 66, was recently spotted in a South London park with Giuseppe, a 36-year-old Italian dancer, who is believed to be her new partner. The pair were seen sitting together on a bench, appearing relaxed and at ease. They have been seen together more frequently in recent months, including at a performance of Mamma Mia! The Party, and they are also active on each other's social media accounts, suggesting a growing relationship. Shirly previously dated British dancer Danny Taylor, but the couple split in 2023. She has not often spoken publicly about their relationship, but in an interview with the Mirror, as reported by the Manchester Evening News, she explained that the split happened because they "weren't growing together anymore." She also mentioned that she was concerned about Danny's personal life and needed "some peace." In January, she told the Daily Mail that she approaches new relationships cautiously, and in April, she spoke to The Times about the emotional challenges she faced during her time with Danny, especially her worries about his safety and where he was spending his time. Shirley is set to return to television with the upcoming new season of Strictly Come Dancing, which is scheduled to begin soon. The show has new hosts, including Emam Willis, Johannes Radebe, and Josh Widdicombe, and Shirley will be getting to know the five new professional dancers joining the team. Although she has not officially confirmed her relationship with Giuseppe, the pair appear to be comfortable with one another, suggesting a positive and stable connection. As the new season approaches, fans are eager to see how Shirley balances her personal and professional life.
