Dancing With The Stars is so full of passion that sometimes the pros and celebrities may get together in real life. But who has split up?

As the 2021 season gets well underway, it’s no surprise that some fans of the competition are wondering which DWTS romances have fizzled out.

Although some of the ABC stars have stayed happily loved-up, or even gone on to have a marriage and children, it has not always worked out for others.

Reality Titbit explored which Dancing With The Stars romances may not have gone the way they initially hoped. Let’s jiiive to the broken-up couples.

Luke Jacobz and Luda Kroitor

Contestant Luke Jacobz, was an actor on Home and Away and McLeod’s Daughters, and professional dancer Luda Kroitor were together until 2010.

They danced together on the show in 2008 and went on to win Dancing with the Stars series eight, before a two-year relationship.

Since their split, Luda has moved on, and is married to partner Matt Wilson.

Luke has also moved on, and is now with a woman called Raychel.

Alan Bersten and Alexis Ren

The former couple kissed on the dancefloor, and opened up their love for each other during the 2018 DWTS final.

Alexis said: “We communicate, not just through our steps and movements but with our hearts, too. I really found love.”
