Whilst Giovanni and Jowita are no doubt on cloud nine, the loved-up couple are currently spending time apart as a result of the Strictly Live Tour.
The nationwide tour kicked off in Birmingham on Saturday, with a star-studded line-up featuring Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal, Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin and Tyler West and Dianne Buswell.
Giovanni is set to go on tour
And in February, the duo will be apart for a second time when Giovanni heads on tour, spending more than three months on the road for his own Made In Italy dance show.
Giovanni's leading lady for his tour is none other than Lauren Oakley, who joined the hit BBC dancing competition as a pro dancer last summer.
