Strictly’s Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen reveal marriage plans following arrival of baby Milena
Former Strictly Come Dancing pro Kristina Rihanoff and partner Ben Cohen have opened up about their potential marriage plans.
The pair, who met on the show in 2013 when they were partnered together, welcomed their first baby together this summer.
Rihanoff announced the pregnancy when she entered Celebrity Big Brother in January 2016, and gave birth to daughter Milena in June.
“I imagine we will get married at some point,” Cohen told Hello! Magazine.
“Having a baby later on in life, we were both very set in our ways so it has been a big change for both of us.”
Former rugby player Cohen is 38 years old, and Rihanoff, who left Strictly at the end of the 2015 series, is 39.
It sounds like a wedding isn’t top of the priority list for now though.
“With a baby, it’s not something we’ve got time to think about at the moment,” Rihanoff admitted. “And I want to be in better shape on my wedding day than I am now.

“It’s a different life and I wouldn’t want to swap it. When I wake up in the morning and Mila is smiling at me, it’s just the best feeling in the world.”
When Cohen first took part in Strictly Come Dancing, he was married to Abby Blayney, with whom he has twin daughters.
News of Cohen and Rihanoff’s relationship emerged in July 2015, and Cohen’s divorce with Blayney was finalised in March 2016.
