Gladiator’s management and his wife, Katie Christian, were taken by surprise by Giant’s new girlfriend on OnlyFans. The 40-year-old athlete, known as Jamie Bigg, has gone public with Taylor Ryan, a 28-year-old content creator. Following the announcement of Giant’s departure from the show, he expressed shock and disappointment, attributing the decision to his partner’s profession.

Jamie and Katie shocked friends and family when they ended their 13-year marriage in late 2025, citing the strains of fame and his intense bodybuilding lifestyle. Katie shared her feelings on Instagram about Jamie’s new relationship, expressing hurt and disbelief given the recent breakdown of their marriage.

The 6ft 5in Gladiator star, based in Derbyshire, has been a part of the show since its revival in 2024. However, his time on the show has come to an end, as he believes his relationship with Taylor is a factor. Jamie, who has two children with Katie, expressed his pride in Taylor’s accomplishments and their desire to start a family together.

In response to concerns about child safeguarding raised during discussions with the BBC, Jamie emphasized his dedication to upholding professional and personal standards. Despite the difficult decision to move on and start a family with Taylor, Jamie expressed gratitude for his time on Gladiators and hopes to address the situation further in the future.

The Mirror contacted the BBC for a response, and a Gladiators spokesperson acknowledged Giant’s departure, thanking him for his contributions to the show.
