Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer claims she 'bankrolled' her short-lived third marriage to a man she met online after painful year long separation from Kevin Clifton


The Venezuelan-American ballroom specialist married Clifton, her second husband, in 2015 - three years after joining him on Strictly.

Currently the show's longest serving cast-member, Hauer announced her divorce from the British dancer in 2018, but she admits their separation played out behind the scenes for months before the couple confirmed they were no longer together. Appearing on the latest edition of Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Hauer, 43, insisted it was she who instigated the separation when it became clear that he had 'distanced himself' from her. Meanwhile Hauer went on to date opera singer David Webb, who she was said to have 'quietly split' from back in September 2020, before entering a new relationship businessman with Jordan Wyn-Jones, the man who would ultimately become her third husband.
