Meanwhile, the speculation about his sexuality started surfacing after he performed a gay love story dance with Italian dancer and choreographer Vito Coppola. But to let you know, he is currently in a relationship with Australian TikTok sensation, Charlie Backshall. Although little is known about their relationship history, the two are alleged to have been dating for years.
Talking more about Nikita’s girlfriend, the TikTok star previously hosted the sex podcast The Hotline, in which she discussed life in her twenties with Sizzle Reel males Blake, Jack, and George. In the podcast, she gives her wisdom on s*x, relationships, and all the taboo business nobody seems to want to talk about
However, since his and Charlie’s relationship became public, the Australian social media star has removed her TikTok account as well as her podcast page, which is no longer available for listening.
Before this, he was in a long-term relationship with choreographer and designer Nicole Wirt, which ended in 2022 after five years together. While they were together, they kept their affair private and hardly mentioned one other on social media.
Nikita was believed to be dating CBBC star Molly Rainford during the 2022 season of the dancing show. However, this speculation was short-lived, as she was already dating another contender, Tyler West.
