Nicola Adams and Ella Baig Announce Separation After Seven Years
Former Olympic boxing gold medalist Nicola Adams and OnlyFans model Ella Baig, aged 27, have announced their separation after a seven-year relationship. Adams, 42, a celebrated athlete and public figure, made history as the first woman to win an Olympic boxing gold medal and also gained prominence on “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2020, where she formed the show’s first same-sex pairing with Katya Jones. The couple, who share a two-year-old son, Taylor Nate, conceived through IVF, have confirmed the end of their journey together.
Official Confirmation of Breakup
A representative for the former couple released a statement acknowledging their separation and highlighting the positive aspects of their time together. “Nicola and Ella have shared an incredible journey together, filled with love, growth, and resilience,” the spokesperson conveyed.
Decision Following Reflection and Therapy
The statement further elaborated on the thoughtful process behind their decision to part ways. “Following considerable contemplation and dedicated therapeutic effort, they have reached the difficult conclusion to separate,” the representative stated.
The primary focus for both Adams and Baig remains their child. “Their priority is and will continue to be their son, Taylor, and they are dedicated to co-parenting with love and mutual respect,” the spokesperson added, as reported by The Sun.
Efforts to Resolve Relationship Issues
According to a source close to the situation, the pair had actively tried to salvage their relationship before making the final decision to separate. “They genuinely tried to make their relationship successful, particularly for their son’s well-being, and even engaged in couples’ therapy,” the source revealed. “Ultimately, they concluded that separation was the most appropriate path forward for them individually.”
Focus on Co-Parenting
Despite the separation, the source indicated that there is no animosity between Adams and Baig. “They retain significant affection for one another, and cherish many happy memories. Their present focus is on being excellent co-parents to Taylor,” the insider explained.
Relationship History and Family
Adams and Baig’s relationship began in 2018 after they met during a night out. They initiated IVF treatment in 2020, opting for a sperm donor who physically resembled Baig. Baig carried the pregnancy and gave birth to Taylor Nate via caesarean section one month prematurely. At birth, Taylor weighed 3lbs 14ozs.
Navigating Parenthood for Same-Sex Families
Following Taylor’s arrival, Adams discussed the challenges of finding resources for same-sex parents in an interview with Vogue magazine. She noted, “The information is available, but we really had to search extensively for it,” highlighting the need for greater accessibility to parenting resources for same-sex families.
