"Let's Dance" star Vadim Garbuzov (39) has a new partner. At the premiere of the operetta "Ein Käfig voller Narren" in Mörbisch, Burgenland, the "Let's Dance" professional confirmed to the Austrian daily newspaper "Kurier" that he has been with Saphira for about two months. The two appeared together in public for the first time that evening. They are keeping the details of how they met to themselves for now.

This ends a relatively short single phase for the 39-year-old. In January, Garbuzov and model Nicole Ettlinger publicly announced their separation after about eight years together. Even back then, the dancer hinted that he wouldn't stand in the way of a new relationship.

"A few moments" with Saphira

On his Instagram account, there is now more couple content to see. The dance professional captioned a series of photos and videos with "A few moments" and a white heart. They show the two closely embraced, kissing, dancing, and above all smiling and laughing. One picture also shows a white and brown dog licking the RTL star.

The post received many likes from Vadim Garbuzov's dance show colleagues as well as former celebrities from the show. Countless red hearts can also be found under the post.

Part of the RTL show since 2015

The Ukrainian-born dancer has been part of the professional ensemble of "Let's Dance" since 2015. As a child, he moved to Canada with his family, and later celebrated numerous successes in international competitive dancing. Alongside his long-time dance partner Kathrin Menzinger (37), he collected national and international titles.

In 2021, he created a first for the RTL show: together with Nicolas Puschmann (35), Garbuzov formed the first all-male couple in the history of the format. The two danced their way to the finals.
