Zara Zoffany, AJ Pritchard’s future wife, has unveiled an extravagant collection of gifts for her bridesmaids, in anticipation of their upcoming wedding with the well-known dancer from Strictly Come Dancing.

The love affair between the skilled dancer and the model is thriving, while on the other hand, AJ’s younger sibling, Curtis, has parted ways with Ekin-Su Culculoglu after merely three months together.

On Wednesday, Zara posted a video on Instagram where she showed the contents of her bridesmaid’s gift bag sent by her closest friends.

The beauty received an assortment of gifts such as hair care products, candles, notepads, and a personalized pashmina.

In the video, she mentioned that AJ and she had received their bridesmaid welcome packages, and her friend Izzy had truly gone above and beyond. Just looking at the itinerary left them impressed.

‘I melted when I opened my bridesmaids bag while AJ played cameraman. 

It truly seemed as if it were my birthday, with a delightful assortment of luxury hair products, personalized labels, scented candles, notebooks, and a custom-made pashmina – all crafted by the incredibly talented Becs. Each gift perfectly reflected her personality.

I can’t help but rave about Izzy’s luxurious nightwear, and it’s not just because she’s kind-hearted, but also because she consistently goes the extra mile to make those she cherishes feel special. I truly count my blessings and adore you immensely.

Accompanying the video, she stated: “You can see that your best friend expresses affection through pampering others! You’ve sparked countless creative thoughts for our special day with all the care and thoughtfulness.

At the Smiley Charity Film Awards in March, Lisa Snowden unintentionally disclosed AJ’s secret engagement details on stage, ultimately compelling AJ to share everything publicly.

In a touching video, the dancer knelt in a meadow, expressing his love to his fiancee, Zara.

Finally sharing his happy news, AJ, who started dating Zara in 2022, said: ‘SHE SAID YES! ❤️

‘Love. Life. Energy. We always give 100% to everything we do & our relationship is no different.   

Following the breakup of AJ’s brother, Curtis, and his girlfriend, Ekin-Su, who had only recently appeared on Love Island: All Stars, news of their separation emerged a mere few months later.

They encountered each other during this year’s series in January, and ever since leaving the villa, rumors about them having a romantic relationship have persisted.

On Instagram on Wednesday, Ekin shared the news that she and Curtis have chosen to part ways.

‘It’s been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.

1) He’s an extraordinary individual, and I’ll forever value the moments we shared, whether they were inside or outside the villa. (Alternatively, “He is a remarkable person, and I will hold dear the memories we created, whether within or beyond the villa.”)

I’d be delighted to rephrase that message for a more conversational tone:

“Hey everyone! A huge thank you for the love and support you’ve shown us over the past few months. We’re currently working through some changes in our lives and would really value some privacy during this time. Rest assured, we’ll continue to send you love, just as you’ve sent it to us. Stay amazing, EkinSu XX

After Ekin-Su made her announcement, Curtis posted on his Instagram story to acknowledge their breakup, expressing gratitude for the heartfelt messages with the words: “I wanted to take a moment to say thank you very much for your thoughtful messages, they truly touch my heart.

As I reflect on my journey, it’s become clear that Ekin and I have chosen to part ways. Navigating the complexities of a breakup can indeed be challenging, but I can’t help but feel profound gratitude for the shared laughter, exhilarating adventures, and cherished memories—particularly our dance routines. These moments have enriched my life in ways that words often fall short of expressing.

I’ve got a packed schedule with work, boxing, dancing, and collaborating on FINT – it’s going to be quite hectic! Lots of love, Curtis x

The seemingly unconventional pair surprised spectators by confirming their romance within the villa during February, and since then, speculations have swirled that their relationship might have been staged.

Last week, Curtis responded to the speculations about his romantic involvement with someone on the podcast “Not My Bagg,” denying such rumors.

In a recent interview, host Joe Baggs inquired the celebrity about the speculations regarding their romantic relationship arising from the show. Since they are still a couple, he wanted to know how they would respond to those who have been discussing these rumors online.

Playfully, Curtis jested, “Indeed, it’s a true stage romance. You’re absolutely correct, folks! Our agreement expires in about two months, and I predict we’ll part ways after that.

To clarify, I later emphasized: “It’s not a manufactured romance. It’s purely speculation, and the notion that we are bound by a contract or a specified time to be together is utterly false.

‘I’ll tell you right now, I didn’t read my contract.’

He mentioned: ‘Things are going well for us, we’re entertaining, and some might perceive it as such due to the fact that Ekin and I can be rather theatrical at times. To be honest, there’s no denying that.’

In response to claims in March that their relationship was solely for attention from the public, Ekin responded to The Sun by saying, “I value everyone’s viewpoints.

She remarked: ‘I believe everyone has the right to their thoughts, and I can certainly see why they might think that way, as on our program, we are dramatic individuals, and when we gather, it feels like a show.’

‘But it’s not a showmance, it’s real. It just feels right. It feels healthy and I am myself.’

Previous month, the pair refuted breakup speculation following Curtis posting a joking video on Ekin-Su’s Instagram Story. The video suggested that their separation was merely due to work commitments.

The dancer was spotted resting on the couch with a black eye, remarking earlier, “Today was quite a good day for boxing. As you can notice, I have a black eye, but it’s improving.

He confirmed that he too is single currently, and there was laughter from Ekin-Su behind him. However, he went on to say that unfortunately, he had already rekindled things with his former partner right after their split, as he gestured towards Ekin-Su and displayed this on camera.

‘Apparently spending nearly two or three days away means we’ve broken up?’ Ekin-Su said.

Curtis explained, “While you were busy, I’ve been toiling away in what feels like a dungeon, receiving quite a few blows.

Ekin-Su playfully commented, “It seems we’re proving that exes can reunite! This is our quickest separation yet, if you could call it that.

It’s now known that while she was on Love Island: All Stars, Ekin was in a clandestine romance with Georges Berthonneau from Married At First Sight UK.

As per Georges’ account, he and Ekin were deeply in love; however, Ekin opted to join the ITV2 show to advance her professional aspirations.

They decided that she wouldn’t progress beyond kissing another contestant on the dating show, where she was the main cast member.

However, Georges, aged 32, revealed their 10-month relationship to TopMob for the first time, stating that Ekin had hurt him deeply by publicly dating Curtis on live television, leaving him heartbroken.

During an exclusive conversation, Georges revealed to TopMob that he and Ekin had made arrangements for their shared future, often used endearing terms for one another, vacationed in France during the summer months, and celebrated Boxing Day by exchanging presents – all this just 18 days prior to her entering the South African villa.

The personal trainer expressed that it was an extremely challenging ordeal for him to endure the five weeks while Ekin was on the dating show, as she passionately kissed Curtis, 29, and delivered a provocative performance for him during the Heart Rate Challenge in a sensual red lingerie.
