James Jordan, a former professional dancer on "Strictly Come Dancing," was reportedly seen enjoying a hotel stay with Russian dancer Polina Mayer. The pair checked into the five-star Kimpton Fitzroy hotel in London on Saturday, following a performance in Guildford, Surrey, as part of their dance tour.
This development comes amid reports that Jordan, 48, had an affair with Mayer, 34. His ex-wife, Ola Jordan, 44, has described herself as "devastated" by the claims. The couple, who were married for 22 years, separated in June and have been co-parenting their daughter Ella.
According to a spokesperson for James Jordan, his relationship with Mayer "grown closer in recent weeks since separating from their respective partners." The spokesman also stated that Jordan's relationship with Mayer did not begin before his split from Ola.
Ola Jordan broke her silence on the allegations, telling HELLO! magazine that she felt her "worst fears have been confirmed" and that she has "lost my husband – I've lost my best friend and my business partner all in one go." She described the end of their marriage as "traumatic" and "an incredibly painful and emotional journey."
Reports from The Sun On Sunday claim that Ola was informed of the alleged infidelity by Mayer's husband, Jamie Cutler, a professional dancer. Cutler reportedly told Ola that he believed Mayer had cheated on him with James and that he was filing for divorce.
James and Polina Mayer have appeared together in dance videos and during rehearsals for their "The Legends in Vegas: After Hours" tour. Mayer is a professional champion dancer and dance teacher.
James and Ola Jordan, who met in 1999 and married in 2003, confirmed their separation in August, citing difficulties and prioritizing co-parenting their daughter. James Jordan stated that his mental health had not been in a good place and he was focusing on getting healthier for himself and their child.
