Did you know that love can surprise us in the limelight of fame? Ross King, renowned presenter of Strictly Come Dancing, is setting his sights on achieving a higher score than the 10 out of 40 he received last week for his cha-cha-cha inspired by Hollywood. The 63-year-old star left audiences quite astounded when he disclosed that his girlfriend, Bridget Siegel, aged 43, was there to support him from the audience. "It's so wonderful that my girlfriend took a 5,000-mile journey to be here tonight. I told her, 'Come along, Bridget. There might not be many more opportunities like this,'" Ross humorously commented.
For many, this revelation about their relationship came as a surprise. However, glowing evidence from photos suggests that this couple has been together for at least a year. In pictures unearthed from the year 2024, the pair were spotted together at the Sips and Saddles event celebrating National Rosé Day, a special occasion held in California that marries the joy of sipping rosé wine with the excitement of polo.
The duo radiated happiness as they laughed and posed for snapshots during the event. Ross displayed his suave side in a stylish grey suit jacket paired with a blue shirt and complemented his look with trendy sunglasses. On the other hand, Bridget exuded glamour in a chic blue dress adorned with a shiny silver watch, her brunette hair elegantly swept to one side. This attire starkly contrasted with her appearance at Strictly, where she dazzled in a fashionable black off-the-shoulder dress, enhanced by a sparkling necklace.
A Private Affair
Despite keeping a relatively low profile, Ross has candidly expressed his deep affection for Bridget. During a recent guest appearance on the podcast "How To Be 60," he shared his feelings about life in Los Angeles. "Absolutely, I adore LA. Who knows what the future holds? But it would take quite a bit to pull me away from this city I love. I have a wonderful life here, especially with my lovely girlfriend Bridget. We have an amazing time together; it truly feels like home."
This new romance blossomed just three years after Ross's separation from his ex-wife, Brianna Deutsch, with whom he spent seven years before their marriage officially ended in 2022, following divorce proceedings initiated back in 2019. While not explicitly stating his intentions regarding the future of his relationship with Bridget, The Sun suggests that he isn’t excluding the possibility of marriage someday.
Ross was quoted saying regarding his past experiences: "Having been married twice, I'm not sure if I'm simply poor at it or if I could potentially excel at it in the future—it all depends on your perspective, doesn’t it? The glass can either be half full or half empty. Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly believe in love. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Bridget, as she's just perfect in every conceivable way. I'm truly lucky."
According to reports from The Mail, the couple's first meeting occurred in 2023, which quickly evolved into a serious relationship. Bridget presently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) at R3 Venture Studio, a company that promotes itself as a collaborator in shaping the future of dining, music, and retail. Prior to this role, she gained experience in hospitality through various positions at Hart House, &Pizza, and Munchery.
