Heartbreak and New Beginnings: Nicola Adams’ Journey ποΈπ


2025 has been quite the rollercoaster for former Olympic boxing champ Nicola Adams. After a tough personal year marked by a split from her long-term girlfriend Ella Baig, Nicola is now making a splash on the Gladiators: Celebrity Special airing on Christmas Day. π₯β¨
Nicola, the first woman to bring home a boxing gold from the 2012 London Olympics, went on to dazzle us on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020. As she steps into the Gladiators arena, she’s ready to tackle a whole new kind of challenge! πΊπͺ

Nicola and Ella, who bravely navigated a 15-year age gap, parted ways this year after a heartfelt journey together. They share an adorable two-year-old son, Taylor Nate, born via IVF. Despite counselling efforts, the pair decided to part ways for the well-being of their family. Nicola opened up about her ex’s adult content career influencing their relationship, yet remained a pillar of support throughout. πΆβ€οΈ
This year hasn’t just been about endings. Nicola is diving into new projects, like her upcoming podcast with the BBC, allowing her to focus on growth and exploration. ποΈπ
Catch Nicola on Gladiators alongside Joe Wicks, Vogue Williams, and Sam Thompson. Sheβs thrilled to return to the arena, saying, “Iβm absolutely buzzing to be part of the Gladiators: Celebrity Special. Growing up, I loved watching the epic battles. Now, getting the chance to step into that arena myself is a whole new kind of challenge.” Can’t wait to see her in action! ππ₯
Stay strong and shine bright, Nicola! ππ
