The couple are based in LA and Camilla said earlier this year that they’re hoping to adopt a child together.

She told the Sunday People: “Kevin is incredible. We have both forged our own separate paths and I feel very settled now. We left having kids to the universe and it hasnt happened.

“But it wasnt until a couple of years ago that I felt ready. Id really love to adopt or foster. Ive never, ever felt a need to have my own.”

Before meeting Kevin, Camilla became the first victim of the “Strictly Curse” after her then fiance Brendan Cole allegedly had a fling with his celeb partner,Natasha Kaplinsky.

The pair denied the affair but a devastated Camilla split from Brendan saying the break-up “was like a mini-death”.
