(Instagram)This comes as Gorka's partner Gemma Atkinson recently revealed the message a family member sent her about rumours she and Gorka were going through a "rough patch".
The soap star and professional dancer met on Strictly Come Dancing, but Gorka's role on the BBC show means they're forced to spend time apart throughout the year.
The couple, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2021, share two children Mia, who they welcomed in 2019, and Thiago, who was born last year.
Gemma told Lorraine Kelly that the pair recently celebrated six years together and despite them not normally celebrating anniversaries, they took time to enjoy a romantic meal together. She said: "I think because we’re apart so much it feels a lot longer, in a nice way.
"The job he is doing now is fabulous because he is a judge on the Spanish Strictly so he flies to Madrid every Friday and then he flies back every Sunday. He’s like Anton, he said, he’s like the nice judge. So he’s home during the week but on the weekends I get my space, I get time with the kids and he gets to go and do what he loves. It’s perfect."
Talking about split rumours, she added: "It was actually my auntie who messaged me and said, ‘Is everything okay?’ and I was like ‘Yeah, yeah it’s fine’ but I get that people find it strange that we are apart a lot but that’s how it’s always been since we met. Every year I know between August and Christmas, and Gorka knows, he doesn’t know where he is going to be."
"Because I have done Strictly and I know that side of it, it’s not a shock to me. Army wives, their partners are away for six or seven months and they make out that I’ve been moaning that I’ve been on my own for three weeks but really I am having the best time.
"You don’t want to be so dependent on each other that you can’t do anything without them and I think that’s what’s great about me and Gorka is that on his own he’s great, on my own I’m great but together it’s like unstoppable."
