Giovanni Pernice, 28, and Ashley Roberts, 37, met on Strictly Come Dancing last year, in which both made it to the final with Faye Tozer, 43, and Pasha Kovalev, 39. After weeks of speculation, Giovanni and Ashley confirmed they were dating after the show. They have since enjoyed romantic getaways together as well as sharing cosy snaps of their relationship with their social media fans. Now, Giovanni has opened up on the pair’s plans to move in together.
The Italian dancer said: “It’s going amazing. I’m hoping to take her home to Italy to meet my parents soon, and I’ll go to America to meet her family.
He added to The Daily Mail: “We’ll be living in England together hopefully. We’re happy.”
Back in January, the couple confirmed they are dating after weeks of speculation.
After the pair shared individual snaps of themselves at what appeared to be same holiday destination in December, host Lorraine Kelly quizzed the dancer.
He told her: “We have yes [been on holiday]. We spent time together yes,” but the dancer insisted it was “early days” between the pair.
Later that month, Giovanni shared a picture of the pair on jet-ski together humorously telling his fans they were on their way to Leeds for the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
While on tour, Giovanni and Ashley were also spotted holding hands during a casual stroll together in the city.
Prior to their outing, Ashley confirmed the pair were seeing each other, telling Weekend magazine: “Yes we are seeing each other.
“And now the show is done we can spend a bit more time together. We’re getting to know each other, and it’s nice.”
Since confirming their relationship, the pair have shared cosy snaps of them together on Instagram.
Last month, Ashley gushed over her beau as she supported him on the opening night of his tour Dance Is Life.
Giovanni kissed Ashley on the cheek while she smiled for the camera.
In view of her 407,000 followers, she commented: “Proud of this one! Opening night was a success Make sure to grab your tickets as it’s almost sold out hunni’s #danceislife.”
Many of her fans flocked to her page to comment.
One user wrote: “You 2 are so sweet together. You deserve every happiness.”
A second added: “Too adorable you too are,” while a third penned: “Love this, Love you two!”
