Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Pritchard and his celebrity dance partner Saffron Barker are impressing the viewers at home and judges with their dances each week. Fans adore watching them perform together, and most recently they scored high on the leaderboard during Halloween week, when they danced the Jive to Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, with Saffron dressed up as Sabrina the Teenage Witch. There is no doubt that AJ and Saffron have a great friendship, but that's as far as it goes - as AJ is a taken man! Find out all you need to know about the professional dancer's love life...
Who is AJ Pritchard dating?
AJ found love in 2019 with dancer Abbie Quinnen, and shared his first loved-up photo with the dancer during their holiday at the Aldemar Knossos Royal on the Greek island of Crete. Holding hands in the photo, AJ simply captioned his: "Feeling HAPPY..." while Abbie captioned hers: "Making memories". The pair were still going strong in August, where it appears that Abbie met AJ's brother, Love Island's Curtis.

According to The Sun, the couple had been dating for a while before going on their loved-up vacation. A source said at the time that AJ fell in love with Abbie the moment he saw her, and that they spent time together during the Strictly tour, sweet!
The pair have reportedly been dating for a while
AJ was previously linked to his former dance partner, Mollie King, after they reportedly grew close during the 2017 series. Brendan Cole was among those who hinted that the pair were a couple, telling his All Night Long tour audience: "One evening I went in the boys' changing room, walked in the door and there was AJ and Mollie. I wouldn't have thought anything of it if they had gone, 'Hey Brendan, nice to see you.' But as I walked in the door, they went, 'Sorry, sorry! Didn't see you there.' Two young single people who get together on the show – it's great, right?" AJ's dad, Adrian, also suggested that the pair were getting close behind-the-scenes, telling the Mirror: "They're having a lot of fun. They are spending more time with each other than a married couple would do."

The fellow couples continued to fuel rumours after chanting for the two to kiss following their quickstep to Rihanna's Umbrella back in November 2017. It appears that their relationship ended in early 2018 after Mollie began dating England cricketer Stuart Broad. Speaking about being in love, Mollie told the Daily Star: "I love being in love. I literally love being in love. I'm so romantic. I'm such a girly girl. I don’t want to be in one of those couples where you feel like, 'Are we really into each other?'" The couple were reported to have split in August. However, they have been spotted spending time together in the last few months, and Mollie was even a member of the audience as AJ danced with his then new partner, Lauren.
