Giovanni Pernice admits he gets “lonely” at times.
Giovanni Pernice gets lonely at times
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro dancer lamented on his single status with his BBC Latin and ballroom co-star Anton Du Beke and how he would one day like to settle down, following his recently reported split from Jowita Przystal, a fellow dancer on the show.
The 32-year-old professional dancer told the 56-year-old show judge on their BBC travel show ‘Anton and Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily’: “Of course I'll have a family one day, you just have to find the right person first. Personally, I am just very focused on my career as you were at my age.
“It does get lonely sometimes, it's a tricky thing between - there's a line, a fine line, between: 'I want to be in a relationship and be with somebody because you get lonely.
“But at the same time, you want to be free to be able to focus on your career. And also, this industry, quite tricky, as you know, because you always have to be focused.”
Giovanni made the admission about his relationship status after he revealed his dreams to “cook” for his future brood during the show.
He told Anton: “One day, I will cook for my family.”
Anton - who has six-year-old twins Henrietta and George with his wife Hannah Summers - responded: "Once you get a family, you will be doing it all the time."
Giovanni continued: “My mum always says to me, ‘So, Giovanni, what's the situation?’ because obviously every time I date a girl, I always tell her and say, 'What do you think about this?’ Bless her, she's seen so many passing by.
“But initially, she's like, 'Is she the one? You know, I want a baby before I pass way!' It's all the time, constantly, it's funny.
“Of course, I'll have a family one day, you just have to find the right person first. Personally, I am just very focused on my career as you were at my age.”
