Gemma Atkinson has shared insights about a former boyfriend whom her mother criticized for having negative energy. Like many of us, she has faced challenges in relationships, including a painful betrayal by an ex-partner.

Currently, Gemma is happily involved with Gorka Marquez from “Strictly Come Dancing,” with whom she has two children. However, she openly discussed her past relationship struggles.

In a podcast with Hits Radio, Gorka mentioned that his mother usually liked all his partners until they broke up. Gemma recounted a past experience with a former boyfriend during her teenage years, labeling him as a “b*****d” and a “cretin” who betrayed her trust.

She emphasized the importance of paying attention to parental instincts when they disapprove of a partner upon first meeting. Gemma also advised trusting a dog’s judgment if it dislikes someone, adding a humorous touch by mentioning her skepticism towards people who don’t like dogs.

Gemma, known for her role in the TV series “Hollyoaks,” began her relationship with Gorka in 2017 on the set of “Strictly Come Dancing.” After four years, Gorka proposed, and they got engaged in 2021.

Having been romantically linked to various actors and athletes, including footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, Gemma confessed that she was cheated on in her previous relationship before Gorka.

Refraining from naming names, Gemma recounted an incident during a holiday with her ex-partner, where she discovered his infidelity through a social media message from another woman. This revelation highlighted the challenges she faced in her past relationships.
