Overview

  • Hauer said her 2015–18 union with ex-Strictly partner Kevin Clifton suffered mutual withdrawal and unspoken doubts, despite her belief that they “belonged together.”
  • Following their split, the former couple continued to work together on Strictly Come Dancing without public ill-will, maintaining professionalism and respect.
  • She described her 2022–24 marriage to Jordan Wyn-Jones as “toxic,” recounting emotional control tactics that left her in panic mode and triggered stress-related hair loss.
  • To keep the peace, Hauer admitted living a double life—lying to friends, family and Wyn-Jones about her well-being—until a friends’ intervention helped her walk away.
  • Now at 43, she calls her bond with Simon Davidson her “first proper relationship,” praising shared values, open communication and mutual support.
