GEMMA Atkinson shared adorable family snaps to mark Strictly boyfriend Gorka Marquez’s 30th birthday.
Gemma and Gorka have been together since 2018 and have a daughter aged two called Mia.
The 30-year-old professional dancer is currently away from Gemma and his daughter as he is preparing for the upcoming 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The Emmerdale star took to Instagram to share an array of heart-warming snaps of her boyfriend and daughter to mark his 30th birthday.
One snap featured the doting dad shirtless with a smiling Mia close to his chest.
Other snaps featured the couple digging into some tasty desserts, enjoying a romantic trip abroad and one weightlifting together.
She captioned the snaps: “Happy Birthday to my número uno! Can’t wait to celebrate your special day when you’re home. We love you @gorka_marquez.”
Gemma then added: “PS. Just realised you have the same B’day as Beyoncé. That’s kinda cool.”
Gorka was touched by Gemma’s post and commented: “I love you both! Can’t wait to be with you both!”
Gorka shares his birthday with fellow Strictly professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.
Giovanni is currently dating Love Island star Maura Higgins.
She took to Instagram to wish her boyfriend a happy birthday, to which Giovanni replied with: “Thank you princess.”
Giovanni has dated a number of people from Strictly over the years.
In 2015 he got together with Coronation Street’s Georgia May Foote, then three years he later started dating Ashley Roberts.
He was also linked to his partner Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh last year.
Maura has reportedly “warned” Strictly pro boyfriend to be “respectful” ahead of the new series.
The Love Island star, 30, is reportedly concerned about what obstacles the upcoming season of the BBC dance competition could bring to their new relationship.
It has already been revealed that the Irish beauty is “dreading” who her beau will be paired with this year.
To make matters worse bosses are “desperate” to put the Italian hunk with Corrie star Katie McGlynn – but this could risk upsetting Maura as they were romantically linked five years ago.
