Nikita Kuzmin and his girlfriend Lauren Jaine put on a loved-up display at the press night afterparty for his new show Midnight Dancer in London on Friday.

The Strictly Come Dancing pro, 27, appeared as smitten than ever as he posed for several sweet snaps with his long-term girlfriend, Lauren, 23.

For the event at the Peacock Theatre, Nikita showed off his muscular frame in a black vest top and light blue denim jeans, which he paired with black boots.

Nikita – who recently teased his wedding plans with Lauren – accessorised with a gold necklace as he beamed for the cameras.

Meanwhile, Lauren looked stunning in a pastel green off-the-shoulder boucle maxi dress.

She added height to her frame with a pair of pointed white court heels and carried a white woven shoulder bag to complete her look.

Earlier in the evening, Nikita, currently on his first-ever solo UK and Ireland tour, took to the stage in a stylish purple embellished co-ord to perform for the crowds.

The ensemble featured a cropped jacket with a sparkly chiffon accent on one shoulder pad and high-waisted trousers.

The dancer delivered an electrifying performance alongside dancers Sophie Baker, Thomas Charles, Lowri Hamilton, Samuel Lake, Charlotte Lee, Zara Liu, Seamus McIntosh, Daniel Rae, and Andreea Toma, as well as vocalist Rebecca Lisewski.

The brand-new show, which tells a modern-day Cinderella story, offers a unique experience with dazzling costumes, dancefloor anthems, and world-class dancing.

It follows the highs and lows of a classic romance, as two star-crossed lovers meet only to be torn apart.

Other stars in attendance on the night included pro dancer Vito Coppola, Abbie Quinnen, Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, TV personality Vanessa Feltz, choreographer Dame Arlene Phillips, and celebrity chef Levi Roots.

The bash comes shortly after Nikita discussed his marriage plans with his girlfriend, Lauren. 

The dancer and the model are believed to have started dating in early 2023 and went public with their relationship in October of that year.

But it seems that things are getting very serious between the couple, as Nikita shared his hopes of one day marrying Lauren.

When asked about what the future holds for the couple, Nikita told OK! Magazine: ‘Yeah, we’ve definitely talked about the future. I hope one day she’ll say yes!

He added: ‘We just saw a video of a wedding in South Africa and got emotional watching it. So, why not?’

He also gave a candid insight into their relationship, revealing that their ideal date night is much more low-key than the glitz and glamour of the Strictly dance floor.

‘Honestly, 99 per cent of the time we’re at home watching Modern Family,’ he admitted.

‘It’s not about what we do, it’s about just being together and respecting each other’s space.’

In October 2023, Nikita confirmed his romance with Lauren by sharing a series of loved-up snaps on his Instagram.

He and Lauren were said to have been quietly dating for months before going Instagram official.

Other stars in attendance that night included pro dancer Vito Coppola, who cut a laidback figure in a denim jacket and matching jeans

Earlier that month, Lauren had attended the Strictly studios to watch Nikita perform, sitting in the audience to support him.

His sister, Anastasia, who has 109k Instagram followers, later flew to the UK to visit Nikita, meeting Lauren for a night out at the theatre, where they snapped more sweet selfies.

An insider told The Sun at the time: ‘Nikita and Lauren have been dating for months and seem to have an amazing connection…

‘The pair have tried to keep their romance under the radar but they have been attending events together and are really enjoying each other’s company.

‘They have been spending a lot of time together and even went on holiday together in the summer. Things are progressing and Nikita is very happy with his new romance.’
