Strictly’s Neil Jones and estranged wife Katya are spotted looking close during live dance tour
NEIL Jones and his estranged wife Katya have been spotted looking close during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.
The former couple were married in 2013 and announced their separation six years later, in August 2019.
Professional ballroom dancer Neil, 39, has remained tight-lipped about his romantic life since he split from Russian beauty Katya - who was pictured kissing her 2018 strictly partner Seann Walsh.
The pair today proved how their friendship has remained strong despite the romantic setback.
They looked fresh from Strictly rehearsals in Sheffield, and were seen looking for accommodation on his phone as they continued their busy touring schedule.
Neil and Katya, who were together for 11 years, are both frontline performers on Strictly.
The Sun told how Neil's ex, Luisa Eusse, cheated on him with a woman.
He hooked up with her after splitting from Strictly pro Katya Jones, 32.
A pal said of Neil and Sophie: “The speed with which this has all happened mirrors Neil’s lightning-quick feet across the Strictly dance floor.
"They are moving very quickly.”
The dancer and EastEnders actress Nina Wadia, 52, were the first pair eliminated from Strictly in the 2021 series.
Neil was most recently linked to model Sophie Lily Kerr.
Meanwhile, Katya paid tribute to Neil on his 39th birthday.
She captioned a post which included photos of her ex: "Happy Birthday @mr_njonesofficial! Geez, you're getting old.
"But still full of life, energy and positivity! Keep that smile on your face and keep that hair ginger! Sorry I used to straighten it (swipe for some embarrassing phktos).
"May it be a great year for you!! Lots of love. #strictlycomedancing #birthday #happybirthday (sic)."
