Toyboy’s Ex Blasts Shirley: ‘You Stole My Man!’
Shirley Ballas has recently made headlines, but this time it’s not related to her judging on Strictly. Her new romance with 36-year-old Giuseppe Nonnis has sparked drama as his ex-fiancée, Dasha Chesnokova, has spoken out.
Dasha, 38, who was engaged to Giuseppe for four years before they split in August, claims she confided in Shirley during their relationship troubles. “Shirley was my mentor for nearly two decades, and I introduced her to Giuseppe,” she said. “It would be like your mum taking your boyfriend. She knew how much we loved each other, so to be with him romantically would be the ultimate betrayal.”
Despite the backlash, insiders say Shirley, 66, remains unfazed. “Her relationship with Giuseppe is raising eyebrows, but his ex coming out hasn’t changed how she feels,” a source told heat. Shirley is reportedly feeling better than ever and is smitten with Giuseppe, dismissing concerns about their 30-year age gap and what Dasha thinks.
Shirley has been married twice previously and recently ended her engagement to stage performer Danny Taylor. Nonetheless, she seems determined to pursue her newfound happiness with Giuseppe, who has reportedly helped her move on.
Third Time Lucky for Maya and Stormzy?
Maya Jama has sparked speculation about a possible rekindling of her romance with ex-boyfriend Stormzy. The Love Island presenter, 32, split from the rapper, 33, at the end of 2024, ending a decade-long on-and-off relationship.
The couple had been a favorite in the spotlight since 2014, but after two separate breakups—first in 2019 and then again in early 2024—Maya’s recent actions have fans guessing. She has re-followed Stormzy on Instagram and was spotted singing along to one of his hits, leading to a flurry of speculation.
However, Maya later clarified that she was merely “appreciating the song,” leaving fans to wonder if there’s more to the story. Just five months after ending her relationship with Manchester City footballer Rúben Dias, it seems Maya is keeping her romantic options open.
