Now she has spilled on how excited she is for what’s to come for herself and Kai.
She told OK! : “We are very happy where we are at the moment and I love being with Kai and being a mother. He’s amazing with Mila and I can’t wait for our future.”
Speaking about her life in London, Nadiya went on: “For me, I’ve come from a tiny city in Ukraine all the way here and to give her a life in London – which is probably the best place in the world in terms of opportunity – it’s great, to be honest.

“Whatever she ends up doing, it’s good for her future.”
“She has every option available to her, which makes me so happy. You can do anything here.”
In January, while appearing on Loose Women with Kai, Nadiya discussed how she had introduced Mila to him and admitted it “took some time” for the pair to bond but now Mila “adores” Kai.
Nadiya became emotional as she described her daughter’s bond with her professional dancer beau.
She said: “It took quite some time, honestly, it’s not easy.”
Gesturing to Loose Women panellist Judi Love, who has two teenage children, Nadiya said: “As you know you protect your child as much as you can.
“It took some time but he proved himself in all the possible ways,” Nadiya said appearing to fight back tears as the audience gave an ‘aww’.

The dancer continued: “Mila absolutely adores him,” she said which even left Judi, 42, emotional as she smiled and held Nadiya’s hand.
Panellist Kaye Adams then asked Kai: “And what is Mila’s nickname for you again?”
To which Kai revealed: “She calls me Kai Lemon Pie, she goes: ‘Hi Kai Lemon Pie, bye Kai Lemon Pie!’,” and laughed.
The loved-up couple were quizzed on how they ended up getting together.
Kai said: “When we dance together, it just works, it’s not often you get that.
“She is the best person I have ever danced with and I am not just saying that because she is my girlfriend.”
And, spilling on their first date, Kai revealed: “I said, well you know, you’re pretty. Pretty gorgeous. Do you want to go for dinner and stuff.”
