Strictly Come Dancing’s Graziano Di Prima has reunited with his wife after three months apart.
The couple, who began dating eight years ago, wed in the summer of 2022 in a lavish ceremony in Graziano's home town of Sicily, with his Strictly co-stars Nadiya Bychkova and Karim Zeroual also attending. The smitten professional dancer took to Instagram to share his joy at being reunited with his wife, fellow dancer Giada, after the pair were forced apart due to work commitments.
“Finally after 3 months apart I’m back with my (other) half,” he wrote atop the sweet clip, showing him and Giada dancing in a forest clearing. In the caption, originally written in Italian, Graziano added: “After three months apart, finally together with my other half, happy holidays everyone.”

Reunited at last,” while one wrote: “Reunited!! just adore you both.”
Graziano was paired up with former Made in Chelsea star Zara McDermott, and the duo were voted off the dancing competition during Halloween week, as their Charleston failed to impress the judges. He heaped praise on the 27-year-old, who had no previous dance experience, and said she was the “hardest worker”.

Never stopping, asks me (for) just half an hour for break. She is literally what Strictly is all about. Complete novice, coming in, doing the hard job,” he told the Strictly audience after it was revealed he and Zara had lost out in the dance-off.
Graziano is now enjoying a well-earned break with wife Giada in Sicily, after weeks of gruelling rehearsals and training for the BBC show, as well as the Strictly Come Dancing tour which kicks off in January. The couple wed in a traditional Catholic ceremony last year after they were forced to postpone their nuptials for two years due to the pandemic.
They held their reception at a nearby castle, which was the backdrop to some of their dates during the early days of their relationship. “Since we met each other eight years ago, I knew she was The One – I fell in love instantly. She is the most extraordinary woman I have ever met,” Graziano said of his wife.
