Unveiling Karen Hauer's Emotional Divorce Tale: A Candid Chat with Paul C. Brunson
"Karen Hauer expresses pain over divorce from Kevin Clifton: 'I should have remained'"
In an intimate conversation with hosts Paul C. Brunson on We Need To Talk, professional dancer Karen Hauer bares her heart, sharing the raw details of her heart-wrenching divorce with former husband Kevin Clifton.
On the podcast, Karen tearfully recollects the downfall of their three-year marriage, which began while they were dance partners on the popular BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.
The Silent Distance
Reminiscing on the breakdown of their relationship, Karen recounts how Kevin "distanced himself" for months before they even discussed the possibility of divorcing. She admits that she, too, might have retreated, creating a silent void between them where they seldom communicated about their issues [1].
A Year of Hesitation
Due to the lack of open discussions, it took "a while" for both Karen and Kevin to come to terms with their differences and eventually decide to part ways. Karen shares that she would have tried to salvage their marriage if Kevin had shown commitment, but at some point, it was evident that he "just wanted a divorce" [1].
The Tipping Point
In an unfortunate turn of events, photos of Karen with another man surfaced online. Although she clarified that they were not romantically involved at the time, the misunderstanding served as the catalyst that pushed Kevin to make up his mind, ultimately choosing to say goodbye to their relationship.
Moving On and Cherishing Memories
Despite the pain and heartache, Karen cherishes the memories she shared with Kevin and maintains respect for him even though he has now moved on and is married to TV presenter Stacey Dooley. In the end, both Karen and Kevin parted ways with nothing but love and mutual respect remaining between them.
In the years that followed, Karen and Kevin have both pursued successful careers in dance and television, with Karen even appearing on reality shows like Celebs Go Dating to speak about her personal experiences. Both have managed to move on and focus on their professional and personal growth. [1][2]
