Gemma Atkinson, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, has opened up about Gorka Marquez’s wedding and explained why the couple has been holding off on it.
Strictly Come Dancing star Gemma Atkinson has given fans a major update on her wedding plans with professional dancer Gorka Marquez. The couple, who announced their engagement on Valentine’s Day 2021, started dating in 2017 after meeting on the Strictly tour.
They welcomed son Thiago in 2023 and daughter Mia in 2019. They haven’t been overly excited to say “I do,” despite having been engaged for four years.
Although Gemma had previously resisted getting married without her late father accompanying her as she walked down the aisle, the wedding bells may be ringing soon after a change of heart.
Gemma revealed in a new interview that she and Gorka have been considering having a small ceremony in Manchester as their wedding day.

She stated, “We’ve thought about doing it in Manchester, just the two of us, and then have a big party afterwards, and we’ve even thought about doing it in a registry office or hotel in Spain so his family can come.”
“But since he’s only two, I believe we should wait until Thiago is a little older, perhaps next year or the year after.” She told The Express, “He could be a little older and get involved in it, which would be really nice.”
Gemma also disclosed that she is undergoing tests for perimenopause, a woman’s natural transition leading up to menopause.
She continued, “I’m okay with it because I always wanted two, never wanted more, and we’ve had the blessing of having a boy and a girl.”
After listening to a podcast, I discovered that I am actually taking a Dutch test, which will determine whether you are or not. Although I haven’t yet experienced any symptoms, I still feel fine. However, I’m 41 this year and things will change.
For Gemma’s Gem + Tonic collection, Gemma has created a new line of skincare products that includes a moisturiser, hair gel, and face cream.
She said, “I really just wanted to do it for every busy woman out there who is juggling careers, relationships, and parenting.” “We’ve had so many bumps along the way.
It’s been about achieving that balance between science and nature, according to me, and it’s perfect for those who aren’t up for a nine-step skincare regimen.
