OHMYGOSSIP — Johannes Radebe is ready for a serious relationship.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional – who identifies as gay – has admitted he previously didn’t feel able to “accept love” from others because he needed to learn to love himself first.
However, the dancer is in the right place now to meet a partner and has revealed his desire to start a family one day.
He told HELLO! magazine: “I’ve never given relationships a chance. We can’t love someone else if we don’t love ourselves, but I’m now in a place in my own mind where I can accept love because I know how to give love.
“I’m still waiting for someone to step forward for me and know there are wonderful people out there. And yes, I’d like children one day. Parenthood is a huge responsibility I’d like to share.”
The 34-year-old South African choreographer – who was partnered with former ‘Great British Bake Off’ champion John Whaite on the most recent series of the BBC One Latin and ballroom show – also revealed that he nearly quit the UK to return to his home country following three deaths in his family.
He told the publication: “Three members of my family had died. I felt lost and wanted to be there for my mum and the others.
“I was living a beautiful life in the UK but started to question what was more important. My career had taken me away from my family for years and I felt guilty. It still bothers me to this day.
“I live alone and don’t have a partner. So, I thought by going home I could lead a simpler life around people I love.”
However, his late aunt encouraged him to remain.
He added: “She told me I was highly favoured, not because of what I do on the dancefloor but because my purpose is about extending myself to help others.”
