Gemma Atkinson and former Strictly Come Dancing professional, Gorka Marquez, spoke candidly about their relationship on their podcast, Lost in Translation
Gemma Atkinson has made a bombshell statement about her future with Gorka Marquez. The couple, who met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and share daughter Mia, six, and son Thiago, two, have been discussing their relationship on their podcast, Lost In Translation.
Last week, Gemma, who has been engaged to the Spanish dancer for five years, admitted she didn’t always see eye to eye with Gorka, whom she accused of being ‘overly obsessive’ about housework. However, now she’s said that she doesn’t ever want to marry her partner, stating: “I ain’t getting married to him. No chance.”
Seemingly unfazed by the comment, Gorka looks like he’s also in zero rush to waltz down the aisle, as he replied: “I don’t think I want to get married.”
“Everyone I know who has got married has ended up getting divorced, apart from my sister,” Gemma stated. Claiming marriage was ‘just for a legal thing’, Gorka continued: “We are fine like this, we have two children, marriage is just a document, for a legal thing’.
“You see people together for 15, 20 years, they get married then divorced one year after.” Gemma admitted she had considered marriage only for their children, saying: “My mum was saying to me the other day, when it comes to my will, she was saying how much more complicated it is.”
