Overview
- Ola Jordan told HELLO she is “truly devastated” and that her “worst fears have been confirmed” after media reports this week about James Jordan's relationship with dancer Polina Mayer.
- James Jordan's spokesperson responded that any closeness with Mayer began only after both people had separated from their partners, denying the relationship overlapped with the marriage.
- The pair announced their separation in June after 22 years together, with an Instagram statement saying James had moved out of the family home.
- Ola and James became household names on Strictly Come Dancing and have publicly shared a long fertility struggle that led to their daughter Ella being born via IVF, which heightens the personal impact of the split.
- There is no public legal action and the new claims remain media reports rather than independently corroborated evidence, so the immediate consequences are reputational and likely to drive further press attention and career scrutiny.
