Before finding lasting love with Jimi, the brunette beauty had two relationships on the show - she dated actor Matt DiAngelo and her professional partner Vincent Simone. Meanwhile, Jimi,40, has 12-year-old daughter named Elin from a previous marriage. He popped the question last New Year's Eve. Flavia previously revealed that the romance works because they're so different. "I've had a unique life with my dancing, my whole life has revolved around it, so I didn't go through a 'normal' adolescence. Whereas Jimi has had a more normal life - university, drama school. "She added: "He's quite a chilled person whereas I'm disciplined and hard working - probably too much. He's more, 'Let's have a weekend away'."On the other hand he now goes to the gym, eats his greens and his vitamins. I appreciated him calming me down when I need to, and I get the whip out when it's gym time."
