The 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional - who first met in January 2018 at the UK premiere of Disney's 'Coco' following the breakdown of her marriage to Kevin Clifton - has described her beau as her "rock".

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Karen said: "He's my rock. It's so nice to have someone that understands and accepts me, doesn't judge and doesn't try to change me in any way. Everyone just falls in love with him too, because he has such a beautiful soul."

David added: "Karen inspires me to be the best version of myself. I'm the luckiest man on this earth."

Karen and Kevin confirmed the end of their three year marriage in March 2018, and her ex later confirmed his relationship with Stacey Dooley.

She admitted it has been difficult coming to terms with the end of their romance, and she described the breakup as "a big hit".

She explained: "Last year I was here in New York on my own, as Kevin spent Christmas with his family. I'd taken a big hit and I was going through a whole explosion of emotions.

"My life was completely changing from one day to another. It did affect me mentally and physically - I wasn't in a good place."

After an "intense year", Karen found love again when she met the 36-year-old singer.

She added: "It was just nice to chat with someone, to laugh and for it to be so natural; to have a really normal conversation."

When asked if she would ever marry again, Karen replied: "Never say never. It's really beautiful to be married, regardless of what's happened in the past."
