Does Vanessa Bauer have a boyfriend?
Vanessa understandably keeps her private life out of the spotlight, but she's reportedly dating personal trainer Rory McCall.
She was previously in a long-term relationship with circus performer Louis Nathaniel, who she dated for two and a half years before calling it quits in 2019.
What happened with Vanessa Bauer and Megan Barton Hanson?
Awkward much? Wes Nelson’s girlfriend at the time Megan Barton Hanson hit out at the professional on Instagram just hours after their first performance on the ice in 2019.
Megan ranted, alongside a pouting selfie, “Love that you decide to announce your breakup with your boyfriend on the night of your first performance with my boyfriend.”
It wasn’t the first or last time Vanessa was speculated to be at the centre of her dance partner’s split, after 2018 partner Jake Quickenden split from girlfriend Danielle Fogarty a month after they hit the rink.
And ahead of the 2021 series, her partner Joe-Warren Plant split from his long-term girlfriend Nicole Hadlow.
However, Vanessa has addressed this in a recent interview, telling the tabloids: “I can understand why my partners’ girlfriends find it difficult. We spend so much time together rehearsing.
"We’re telling a story on the ice, and it’s nothing more than that, but you have to try to come across as genuine.”
