Ola Jordan Expresses Devastation Over James Jordan Relationship Claims

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Ola Jordan has broken her silence following reports regarding her estranged husband and former dance partner, James Jordan. The couple, who were married for 22 years and together for 26, announced their separation in August after James moved out of the family home they shared with their six-year-old daughter, Ella.

Speaking exclusively about the reports linking James to his current dance tour partner, Polina Mayer, Ola admitted that the situation has left her heartbroken. She stated that her worst fears have been confirmed, noting that she felt it in her gut as a woman. Reports suggested that Ola learned of the alleged new relationship after receiving a call from Polina's husband, dancer Jamie Cutler.

A spokesperson for James Jordan addressed the reports by confirming that James and Polina have grown closer in recent weeks, but clarified that this development occurred after both individuals had separated from their respective partners. James and Ola initially shared news of their trial separation in a joint statement, emphasizing that their primary focus remains on the well-being and co-parenting of their daughter.

Reflecting on the breakup, Ola described the split as a shock that was not her decision. She explained that she feels as though she has lost not only a husband but also her best friend and business partner all at once. She noted that navigating the uncertainty of the future has been difficult and that she is taking things one day at a time while attempting to stay strong for Ella.

The couple first met at a dance competition in Blackpool in 1999, began dating in 2000, and married in 2003 before joining the BBC dance competition series in 2006. Ola shared that warning signs in their marriage began to emerge following James's touring commitments, which led to a period of unhappiness and ultimately resulted in James moving out of the home earlier in the year.

Despite the personal challenges and the emotional weight of separate holidays and changing family dynamics, both stars have stressed their ongoing commitment to raising their daughter. Ola noted that co-parenting has remained straightforward and that Ella continues to be surrounded by love from both parents as they navigate this new chapter.
