Strictly Come Dancing's Karen Hauer has ditched her wedding ring after splitting with her husband of 16 months.

The professional dancer was spotted leaving rehearsals for the BBC dancing show alongside partner Eddie Kadi with her wedding band noticeably absent as she flashed signs to the camera. The 41-year-old was seen in a car alongside her comedian dance partner as she cracked a smile.

Karen was wrapped up warm in a grey jumper and a bright yellow coat as she showed her ring finger is now missing her gold jewellery. Last week it was revealed that Karen and husband Jordan Wyn-Jones had called time on their relationship after 16 months of marriage.

A source told the Mirror: "Karen and Jordan have had a tough time in the past few months and decided to split. It's obviously very sad for both of them. But there's no ill-will whatsoever. The split is amicable, and they wish each other the best."

The pair tied the knot last year in a lavish ceremony at Chewton Glen in Hampshire, telling Hello magazine that the experience had been "a fairytale". However, in August of this year, Karen said the pair were undergoing counselling sessions as they navigated their new marriage.

She said: "Communication is massive, but learning how to communicate… we get outside help. It’s seeing each other’s vulnerable side, and understanding it and knowing that both of us are working on things because nobody is perfect."

She added: "There is no such thing as a happy marriage or a happy relationship with the perfect couple. It's about dealing with things the right way and not just running away from things, and I guess that's what makes us tick even better and understand one another."

Karen was previously married to former show professional and winner Kevin Clifton from 2015 to 2018. Despite splitting while they were both working on the show together, they managed to put any awkwardness behind them and get on with each other.

Before that marriage, she was wed to Matthew Hauer for nine years before they split in 2009. Jordan and Karen went public with their relationship back in 2021 as he shared a post together.

He said: "32 years… definitely worth all that life could throw at me so that I could have you in my arms. How can a donut like me get so lucky to have met my person. Can't wait to have you home."

The Mirror have contacted Karen's reps for comment.
