Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez are set to collaborate once more, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. The 40-year-old Hollyoaks actress and the 35-year-old professional dancer first crossed paths during the 2017 season of Strictly Come Dancing.
Their connection deepened during the Strictly Live tour, leading to a blossoming romance off-screen. In 2021, Gorka and Gemma announced their engagement on Valentine’s Day, two years after welcoming their daughter Mia.
While the couple has since welcomed their son Thiago, they have yet to formalize their union due to their hectic schedules. Now, the duo has introduced their own podcast, Lost in Translation, where they will candidly share their experiences of balancing parenthood, work commitments, and navigating cultural disparities.
Gorka expressed, “Gemma and I have our differences, but that’s what makes our relationship thrive. We hope that Lost in Translation resonates with individuals facing similar challenges and brings a sense of camaraderie and joy.” Gemma echoed this sentiment, highlighting the podcast’s aim to resonate with parents and couples facing similar hurdles.
Lucie Cave, Chief Creative Officer at Bauer Media Audio, praised the couple’s familial dynamics and humor, underscoring the podcast’s entertainment value and relatability. The podcast is scheduled to launch on October 22.
Recently, Gemma hinted at the possibility of setting a wedding date, a decision she had previously hesitated on due to her late father’s absence. While considering various options, including a ceremony in Spain or a more intimate affair in Manchester, Gemma suggested waiting until their son Thiago is older for his involvement.
