The Strictly Come Dancing star, 40, described the ceremony as a ‘fairytale’ and gushed about how special it was to bring their families together.

Karen and Jordan got hitched at the five-star Chewton Glen hotel, an 18th century country house bordering the New Forest.

Among those in attendance at the ceremony were Strictly professionals Luba Mushtuk and Janette Manrara.

The couple went public with their relationship last year when Jordan shared a post asking how he could ‘get so lucky’ as to be with Karen.

He said: ’32 years… definitely worth all that life could throw at me so that I could have you in my arms. How can a donut like me get so lucky to have met my person. Can’t wait to have you home.’

Karen was previously married to her former dance partner Matthew Hauer and later to ex Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton from 2015 to 2018.  

Although they parted ways that year, they continued to work together until Kevin left Strictly in 2020. 

After she and Kevin split, Karen – who is originally from Venezuela – insisted she would never date a dancer again.

She told The Sun: I’m not dating any more dancers, absolutely not, no way. I married two of them already. I think I’m done in that area now, I’m moving on.

The checkered love life of Kevin Clifton… or a tale of three marriages (and one TV romance)  

The fleet-footed dancer from Grimsby has walked down the aisle on three separate occasions, but none of his marriages have lasted more than six-years. 

WIFE NUMBER 1. UNNAMED 2002-2005 (DIVORCED)

Little is known regarding the identity of Clifton’ first wife, but she is widely regarded to be his then Latin dance partner, Anna Melnikova, although this has never been confirmed.

Speaking to MailOnline, he admitted to suffering from depression following the collapse of his first marriage after just three years, citing their inability to obtain a World Championship as a mitigating factor. 

He said: ‘My wife divorced me because it was her life. I fell into depression because everything I’d put my life into had burst apart.’ 

WIFE NUMBER 2. CLARE CRAZE 2007-2013 (DIVORCED)

Clifton was still only 24 when he married his second wife, professional dancer Clare Craze. 

However the marriage lasted just three years, with the couple separating in 2010 before finalising the divorce in 2013. 

‘It didn’t work out,’ Clifton later admitted. ‘It was part of my rebellion and we drifted apart.’ 

WIFE NUMBER 3. KAREN HAUER 2015–2018 

It was third time lucky for Clifton when he married fellow Strictly Come Dancing professional Karen in 2015. 

Honest: After she and Kevin parted ways, Karen – who is originally from Venezuela – insisted she would never date a dancer again (pictured in 2018) 

Her type: Karen also admitted that after Kevin, she wanted to meet a guy with ‘blond hair and blue eyes’ (pictured with Jordan in May 2022)

‘My ideal man would have blond hair, blue eyes, tattoos and a good body, pretty much the opposite to my exes. You always want to go the complete opposite.

‘They definitely need to work out. They need to know themselves, be nice and know what they want, because I know myself now.’ 

After her split from Kevin, Karen went on to date opera singer David Webb, who she was said to have ‘quietly split’ from back in September 2020. 

A source told The Sun: ‘It finished on good terms, they have a mutual respect for one another and there were no other parties involved.’ 

‘Karen has been able to throw herself back into preparing for the next series of Strictly and has told her friends she’s in a really good place.’
