A challenging year
Amanda Abbington, 53, has announced that she and her fiancé, former daredevil Jonathan Goodwin, have had to postpone their wedding until 2026. This decision comes after what she describes as the ‘worst year of her life’, marked by a Strictly scandal and personal struggles.
Relationship journey
Amanda and Jonathan got engaged in 2021, with plans to marry in 2025. However, due to “litigation” issues, they have pushed the date back. Amanda shared her challenges, mentioning the difficulties she faced and the support she received from loved ones during this time.
From heartbreak to new beginnings
After a painful split from her former partner Martin Freeman, with whom she shares two children, Amanda found solace in Jonathan Goodwin. Their relationship blossomed after meeting online in 2021, following Amanda's participation in Strictly Come Dancing in 2023.
A rollercoaster of events
Jonathan faced a life-altering accident while filming America's Got Talent: Extreme in 2021, leading to serious injuries and paralysis. Amanda stood by his side throughout this ordeal, and the couple's bond grew stronger as they navigated these challenges together.
Looking towards the future
Despite the setbacks and trials they have faced, Amanda and Jonathan have found comfort in each other's company. They have relocated to Hertfordshire and continue to nurture their relationship as they prepare for their wedding in 2026.
