The pair – who are both professional dancers on the BBC show – have been inseparable for weeks and were caught kissing backstage.
Giovanni, 32, and Jowita, 28, went public with their romance at Chelsea ace Jorghino’s birthday dinner earlier this month.
A source told us: “She and Gio are the worst kept secret, but make a great couple.”
Although the two have tried to keep their relationship under wraps, there have been a few clues that showed they were more than just friends.
Let’s take a look…
Jowita’s loving support on social media
Jowita shared a sweet message on a recent post Giovanni shared
Jowita has been leaving loving comments on the Italian hunk’s Instagram posts.
Last week he shared a snap of him with the caption: “That indescribable feeling!
“Today @rose.a.e and I pass our crown of reigning champions to another incredible couple.. and believe me when i say that everyone deserves to win ! good luck and please remember to vote for your faves .. we all do have faves 
.. and thanks to all of you for supporting and watching another series of @bbcstrictly !! There is no show without you

Giovanni’s sweet words
Giovanni did the same on a post that Jowita shared
Just one week before Jowita was crowned winner of this year’s show alongside Hamza Yassin, she posted a sweet tribute to the TV star on her profile.
She wrote: “This is it… you did it partner! We did it! We are in the final of @bbcstrictly and I couldn’t be more proud of you @hamzayassin90 .
“Beyond thankful for all your votes and support
“Now it’s time to go there and celebrate our journey x I had the best time, let’s make the most of it x.”
Many rushed to the comments section to share the love, including Giovanni.
But his short and sweet message didn’t raise any eyebrows.
Giovanni said: “ well done.”
