A shocking revelation has emerged as Ross King's new girlfriend, Bridget, became the spotlight during Strictly Come Dancing's return to screens. The 3-year mark since his divorce from Brianna Deutsch marked a pivotal moment for the celebrity, as his on-screen presence drew renewed attention. While the show's star-studded lineup dazzled viewers, one contestant's unexpected public moment sparked widespread discussion. Ross King, ITV's LA correspondent for Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, made headlines when he performed the cha-cha to Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' with partner Jowita Przystal. What truly captivated audiences wasn't the dance itself, but the rare glimpse of his girlfriend, Bridget, cheering him on from the audience—her presence felt like a personal victory for the star.
The cameras then turned to Bridget, who wore a black dress and sat beside Ross’s sister, Elaine, in the crowd. Claudia Winkleman joked, 'Don’t say such a thing! They were cheering throughout, you were perfect.' For many viewers, the scene was a surprise, as some hadn’t realized the presenter was in a relationship.
Ross’s romance, though still shrouded in mystery, appears to be deeply rooted in affection. In an interview with How To Be 60, host Kaye Adams asked if he planned to stay in LA. Ross humorously replied, 'Oh yeah, I love LA. Who knows what happens in the future, but it would take a lot to take me away from LA. I love the place. I’ve got a great life there. I’ve got a beautiful, lovely girlfriend Bridget. We have a great time there. So it's very much home.'
The couple’s dynamic is further complicated by Ross’s history of marriage. He previously wed actress Charley King from 1999 to 2006 and later divorced Brianna Deutsch in 2022 after seven years of marriage. His current relationship, however, seems to be a fresh beginning. In a recent interview, Ross expressed his belief in love, stating, 'It's certainly not one of those things, having been married twice before. Either I'm really bad at it or I could be really good at it in the future, I don't know. It depends which way you look at it: The glass is half full or the glass is half empty. But no, no, no, I'm a great believer in love. I feel very fortunate with Bridget that I've found someone who is just absolutely brilliant in every way, so I'm very very fortunate.'
But here's where it gets controversial: Is Ross’s new relationship a sign of commitment or a temporary fling? Some viewers argue that his past marriages suggest a pattern of instability, while others see it as a bold step toward a stable future. As the show continues, fans will undoubtedly debate whether this is the start of a new chapter or another fleeting romance. Meanwhile, Ross’s future plans remain uncertain, leaving viewers eager to see how his journey unfolds.
