Strictly's Karen Hauer seen with 'mystery man' two months after split from husband Jordan Wyn-Jones

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Karen Hauer has been spotted with a 'mystery man' after leaving the BBC show finale this weekend.

Exiting the series finale on Saturday night (16 December), Karen was seen sitting in the backseat of a car with blacked out windows as her male companion sat in the front seat alongside Gorka Marquez as the vehicle drove away from Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire where the finale episode was filmed.

The sighting of Karen after the series wrapped with her 'mystery man' comes just two months after her split from third husband Jordan Wyn-Jones, when the couple separated after just 16 months of marriage.

According to the Mail Online, "the unidentified man left the hotel in which the Strictly stars and pros were staying early in the morning on Saturday before he later arrived at the studios where he was lead to Karen's dressing room".

Karen and her estranged husband Jordan married last year with a 'fairytale' wedding, but separated two months ago after a "tough time". Of their split, a source previously 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."

Last month Jordan spoke out as he claimed Strictly Come Dancing "wrecked" their relationship. The personal trainer told the Daily Mail he was "incredibly sad not to be in Karen’s life", but admitted they "were not right for each other in terms of her career", as he revealed the Strictly pro, the longest serving dancer on the BBC series, was too busy focusing on her career to start a family with him.

While he said would always "admire her for her career", he complained it "took her away from me a lot". He explained: "She's amazing and I admire her for it. That's one of the reasons I wanted to marry her – because of how powerful she is. But we wanted different things. There was a plan about having children but then there wasn't a plan."

He added: "There were tears on both sides. A lot of tears and sadness. We didn't want to let go of each other but we're also not right for each other. If we'd stayed together and we didn't have a family, I felt I would have ended up resenting her. This is the perfect moment for us to love each other and leave each other."

The Mirror has reached out to Karen's representatives for comment on this story.
