Ore Oduba admits his marriage became ‘difficult’ after winning Strictly Come Dancing
express.co.uk“But at home it was a difficult chapter to negotiate,” he told OK! Magazine. The star married his wife Portia in 2015, a year before joining Strictly.
They now have two children together, son Roman, four, and daughter Genie, who will be one in October. Speaking to the publication, he said he didn’t realise the effect his work schedule would have on his home life.“I had a romantic view of parenting before I became a dad,” he said. “I thought, ‘We’ll go on holidays all the time and it will be hunky dory and rosy, but actually it’s very difficult to juggle everything.’” Portia interjected, explaining things were difficult because of how far away they were from family, especially during lockdown.
The mum-of-two, who lives with Ore and her kids in London, said it was "really difficult" to be apart with a newborn baby and another young child.
