After breaking up due to money issues, the couple, who are frequently referred to as “Strictly curses,” are back together.
Strictly Come Dancing’s Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff have re-lit their romantic spark after breaking up amid money troubles. The couple, who got together on the show, are thought to be victims of the Strictly curse.
In March, it was reported that rugby star Ben and dancer Kristina had broken up, just six months after Ben said he was “fighting” to save his relationship and family. But the pair were seen getting close again at a fashion event on Saturday (27 September). At the event, where one of Ben’s daughters was walking the catwalk, Kristina was seen with her arm around her ex.
They’ve decided to try again, according to a source who spoke to the press. They appeared to be deeply in love.
The couple ran a few businesses together, including a yoga studio, but during Covid, they started to accumulate debt. Ben claimed in a court hearing last year that he must “fight not to lose everything — my cars, my house, and my relationship.”
Since both of their splits were still residing there, Ben and Kristina decided to sell their £1.75 million Northants home. However, the property has not yet been sold.

Ben and Kristina teamed up for Strictly in 2013. Ben and his wife Abby divorced after the show. Before her series with Ben began, Kristina broke up with her boxing partner, Joe Calzaghe.
The couple are believed to be a result of the “Strictly curse,” a pattern in which a celeb or professional dancer ends their existing relationship with their dance partner, as was rumored to begin before Ben left his wife.
The curse is said to have caused Kristina’s relationship with Joe. The boxer split from his 5-year girlfriend in just one week of his time on Strictly in 2009. He and Kristina started dating soon after that.
Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole are reportedly the curse’s victims, with both rumored to be Brendan Cole and Camilla Dallerup, who reportedly left their fiancee for his celebrity partner in 2004. However, Natasha refuted the claims that this occurred: “I did not fall in love with Brendan, but there was chemistry, of course, and I certainly fell in love with dancing.”
Famously, Seann Walsh and Katya Jones were spotted kissing after a night out whilst paired up on the show. The kiss resulted in the end of Seann’s relationship and Katya’s marriage to fellow dancer Neil Jones.
