Strictly Come Dancing star delights fans with relationship update

Daily Mirror22-07-2025
Strictly Come Dancing star Lauren Oakley has been inundated with love after she posted a heartfelt relationship update. The 34-year-old professional dancer, who joined the Strictly family in 2022, has quickly danced her way into the hearts of viewers nationwide.
Despite not being paired with a celebrity in her debut year, Lauren's second season saw her step out with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and reach the final with JB Gill in 2024, stepping in for Amy Dowden due to health reasons.
Amy is just one of the many voices offering their support as Lauren gave fans a glimpse into her romantic life. With a collection of sweet snaps alongside her husband Maximiliano, Lauren penned: "10 years with you by my side. The moment we spoke, my world changed forever. Thank you for teaching me what real love is, and thank you for keeping my heart safe."
Amy chimed in with "Gorgeous pics," while fellow 'Strictly' professionals Luba Mushtuk and Carlos Gu expressed their affection with heart emojis.
'Strictly' star Tasha Ghouri added her own heart emojis, and Jowita Przystal shared: "Happy 10 years guys x," reports Edinburgh Live.
Fans were quick to join the celebration, with one saying: "Congratulations you two gorgeous people and here's to the next 10 years and the 10 after that then repeat repeat xx."
Another fan gushed: "Such a beautiful couple! here's to many more years of happiness together!"
A third admirer commented: "Beautiful young couples happy anniversary 10th. Good memories photos love it."
Lauren and Max tied the knot in September 2019, with the dancer expressing at the time: "We had an absolutely magical day full of sunshine, and we hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.
"We felt so at home around all of our loved ones and the wedding was exactly how we wanted it to be, comfortable, relaxed and like a huge house party in the English countryside... Only in a big white dress!"
Last year, Lauren posted a touching tribute to her husband on Instagram, stating: "This gorgeous husband of mine is always singing my praises, so it's about time I shouted to the world about him.
"@maximontes93 finished and submitted his last assignment for his degree last night. A degree that he's been working towards with @theopenuniversity for 5+ years.
"Whilst working a full time job, whilst fulfilling passion projects (studying Japanese, looking after our lovely little house, our plants and our fur babies), whilst building a life and finding his feet on the other side of the world with me, whilst still finding time to gym and run and whatever else was the fitness fad of the month... and whilst supporting me through my career too.
"I couldn't be prouder. Well done my everything. You'll probably hate this post 'cause you're the loveliest, calmest, kind hearted, humble man... but I kinda wanna tell everyone how wonderful I think you are. Te amo."
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and iPlayer later this year.

A stretch of Harlem is turning into an open-air tennis club for one day only

Tennis whites, meet block party vibes. For one day only, a stretch of West 120th Street is trading traffic for top spins as Harlem transforms into an open-air tennis club—complete with live DJs, street food, free clinics and a whole lot of community spirit. 'Tennis in Harlem: On the Block' hits the pavement Saturday, August 16, from 10am to 6pm, as part of the new U.S. Open Series by All‑Love Racquet Club in collaboration with Marcus Meets Malcolm Foundation and Dreamers Youth Foundation. The day-long street takeover brings the game to the people, reimagining tennis as a vibrant cultural event, not just a sport. 'We're flipping the script on what tennis can look like,' said Erika Bond, founder of All‑Love Racquet Club. 'This is about building culture, making the game accessible and showing that joy and athleticism belong on every block—starting in Harlem.' Pop-up courts, coaching sessions and family-friendly games will be spread across the block, with yoga and mindfulness zones, surprise appearances and brand activations from the likes of Wilson, On, and USTA Eastern. Whether you're rallying or just soaking up the music, the day is designed to welcome all levels of interest and ability. View this post on Instagram A post shared by All-Love Racquet Club (@allloveracquetclub) 'Tennis in Harlem' also serves as the kickoff for All‑Love's three-part U.S. Open Series. Next up is the 'Love to Dream Youth Clinic' on August 21, followed by a grown-up edition on the Upper East Side on August 23, featuring DJ Moma (of Everyday People fame) and open community play.

Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked "Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'
