A source said: ‘Moving in together was the obvious next step for Nadiya and Kai. They’ve grown so close and it just made sense’
Nadiya took to Instagram on Monday and shared a snap of her and Kai holding hands with Kai across the table at the swanky venue The Ivy.
The pair put on a loved-up display in the photo as Kai affectionately held Nadiya’s hand after their Strictly Come Dancing tour rehearsals.
Nadiya, who sported a silver bracelet in the snap, kept the couple’s faces hidden in the post.

Sweet: The pair stayed close to one another’s side on the outing
Nadiya and Kai first went public with their relationship after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand through Belfast airport.
The professional dancers had just touched down after jetting in from Luton airport on Sunday morning to watch co-star Giovanni Pernice ‘s live show later that evening.
They strolled through the arrivals lounge looking very ‘loved up’ according to onlookers, who told how the pair made no attempt to hide their feelings for each other.

One told MailOnline: ‘They looked like any normal couple breezing through arrivals holding hands.
‘They were wearing sunglasses but didn’t seem to mind that people clearly recognised them from Strictly. Nadiya was giggling and the two of them looked totally loved up.’
The pair’s show of affection came two weeks after they were spotted kissing at a dance event in Leeds, which raised funds for a charity set up by rugby league legend Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, and has close links to Nadiya’s 2021 series celebrity partner, Dan Walker.
Their relationship was first revealed in January after MailOnline reported that Nadiya had split from her fiancé Matija Škarabot.

Kai comforted Nadiya during her break-up and the pair’s friendship developed into a romance on the Strictly Live Tour, where they were later spotted kissing in a Newcastle hotel bar.
Nadiya returned to her home in Slovenia last month to be with her seven-year-old daughter Mila and mother Larisa — who both continue to live with Matija, who is Mila’s dad.
The footballer threw a welcome home party for Nadiya but clearly she now only has eyes for her Strictly co-star, who was partnered with AJ Odudu in the recent series.
Kai and Nadiya are set to spend even more time together over the coming weeks as they prepare for the upcoming Strictly Professionals tour, which kicks off in Manchester on April 28.

Speaking about her involvement in the new series, Nadiya said: ‘I’m so excited to be back on the biggest show on telly. I can’t wait to start my sixth series on BBC Strictly.
‘It is such a privilege to be part of the show that is so important to many people. I love dancing, I love teaching and I love being part of a programme which puts smiles on millions of faces. Let’s do this.’
Kai said: ‘I’m back from my second series of Strictly. Let’s go.’
