Alesha Dixon and Azuka Ononye
In 2006, Alesha first met Azuka Ononye when she was on tour and he was one of her dancers.
While the pair didn’t hit it off at the time, they later formed a relationship.
During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Alesha admitted she was “kind of playing hard to get for about a year”.
She added: “Then I had the foot operation and I couldn’t walk and he was literally sleeping on the floor looking after me every day. I was just looking at him thinking, ‘That is for better or for worse isn’t it?’ I looked a state, he was sleeping on the floor because I was on the couch, I couldn’t even get up the stairs. If he can carry me to the toilet then he’s a keeper.”
Alesha and Azuka ‘secretly’ marry
While neither have confirmed, reports suggested that Alesha and Azuka got secretly married in 2017. Over the years, Alesha has many times referred to Azuka as her husband.
