Kristina Rihanoff, Ben Cohen split amid £1M debt crisis

Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen have ended their 12-year relationship, with reports indicating that severe financial difficulties contributed to their split. The couple, who met on 'Strictly Come Dancing,' faced significant challenges after investing heavily in a yoga studio that suffered during the pandemic, leaving them with debts reportedly around £1 million. Following the breakup announcement, Kristina was seen looking downcast, while Ben appeared in high spirits at a pub, hinting at their contrasting emotional states post-split. Friends close to the couple indicated that the past months had been particularly tumultuous, with personal and financial strains ultimately leading to their decision to separate. The end of their relationship echoes the infamous 'Strictly curse,' as Ben had previously left his wife for Kristina, a move that had drawn public scrutiny and criticism. Despite the split, both have expressed a commitment to co-parenting their daughter and managing their business affairs.
