There has been speculation about the private life of "Let's Dance" star Ekaterina "Ekat" Leonova (35). A week ago, she ended the whole thing and went on the offensive with a post on her Instagram page.

For a photo of herself on a boat in the romantic lagoon city of Venice, she wrote: "I've been in a stable and very beautiful relationship for a few months, which makes me very happy and motivates me for more." But the professional dancer apparently did not want to reveal much more, because she continues to write: "I hope you are happy for me and understand that I want to continue to protect my relationship and enjoy it for myself."

The fans now learn a little more in the latest interview with the RTL broadcaster: "I was very happy that he didn't get to know me as a 'Let's Dance' professional dancer Ekat. I think it's nice that we didn't start in show business , but in normal life." Her chosen one had never seen "Let's Dance" before. "I think the real Ekat is more important to him than the good dancer on the dance floor."

For the "Let's Dance" tour, Leonova and her colleagues have been on the road for 35 days. How do the two lovebirds keep in touch? It's simple: "You write to each other, you call, you try to stay in touch," she said. However, she doesn't have much that is new to report, "because every day basically looks the same: we see bus, arena, hotel, bus, arena, hotel...", she says with a laugh.

The tour runs until November 27th and takes Ekat and Co. to Leipzig, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf for 16 more dates.
