Shirley Ballas rumored romance sparks reaction from Giuseppe Nonnis' ex-fiancée

Dasha Chesnokova, the ex-fiancée of dancer Giuseppe Nonnis, has publicly addressed rumors regarding a potential romance between Nonnis and Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas. Chesnokova described a relationship between the two as the “ultimate betrayal,” noting that Ballas had acted as a mentor and “dance mum” to her for nearly two decades.

Speculation regarding the pair intensified after photographs surfaced showing Ballas and Nonnis sharing coffee and sitting together in a park. While Chesnokova stated that Nonnis has denied any romantic involvement and that she trusts his account, she expressed significant hurt over the possibility of the connection, noting that she was the one who originally introduced Ballas to Nonnis.
