Nikki and Anthony have been dating since 2021, though their romance was only confirmed in January of last year.
They are said to have struck up a romance following Nikki’s split from ex Greg Whitehurst in 2020.
Anthony told The Sun that he and Nikki had bonded over their mutual love of health and fitness.
He said: ‘I slid into the DMs and that was it. I was lucky enough to get a date and the rest is history.’
Nikki and her ex Greg went their separate ways in July 2020 after five years together, while Anthony’s exes include Michelle Keegan, who he split from in 2008, and Strictly’s Dianne Buswell, who Anthony dated from 2017 to 2018.
Speaking about their split to the Daily Star in 2018, Anthony said: ‘We’re still really good friends – it’s just distance played a part.
‘There were all these rumours about the Strictly curse but it wasn’t that.’
Nikki broke the news of her and Greg’s split to The Sun in 2020 and said they have remained friends, though the publication claimed he has since joined dating app Bumble.

Relationship: Nikki and Anthony have been dating since 2021, though their romance was only confirmed in January of last year
Explaining what happened, she revealed: ‘Sadly Greg and I have decided to separate. We remain friends and wish the best for each other in the future.’
Her relationship with Greg got off to a controversial start, as she started dating him in 2015, just ten months after she attended his wedding as a guest.
In an interview with OK! Magazine in 2015, Nikki said of their romance: ‘[Greg’s] been blamed for something he didn’t do… in reality there was a third party who split them up on the other side.
‘It ended through no fault of Greg’s. People say, ”Well, I wouldn’t want to be her mate because she’d steal my boyfriend.” I’d never do anything like that.’
She previously confirmed in a statement to MailOnline that they got together not long after his split from Sarah.
‘I have known Greg and his family for many years. Greg’s marriage ended in January, it was a very difficult time for him during which all of his friends and family supported him,’ Nikki explained.
Nikki has played Maxine Minniver in Hollyoaks since 2012 and has proved her acting prowess as she received nominations for the Best Actress award at the British Soap Awards 2014 and 2015.
The actress also appeared in Coronation Street from 1999 to 2005, where she played Candice Stowe over 397 episodes.
Meanwhile, Anthony starred in Emmerdale as Pete Barton from 2013 to 2020 and as Gilly Roach in Hollyoaks from 2005 to 2011.
