In a heartwarming turn of events, Alesha Dixon has reportedly rekindled her relationship with her partner of 18 years, Azuka Ononye, following months of speculation that the couple had gone their separate ways.
Fans were left stunned back in November 2024 when news broke that the Britain’s Got Talent judge and her long-time love had split after nearly two decades together. The couple, who share two daughters, 10-year-old Azura and four-year-old Anaya, had been one of the entertainment world's most admired partnerships, making their apparent separation all the more surprising.
Reports last month suggested that although Alesha and Azuka had officially ended their romantic relationship, they continued living under the same roof to co-parent their young daughters. Friends of the singer and TV personality reportedly claimed that despite the break-up, the bond between them remained strong.
Now it seems that proximity has helped heal old wounds. According to The Sun, the couple have decided to give their relationship another chance. A source close to the pair revealed: "They went through a really rocky patch and decided to call it a day. It had been difficult for a long time and Alesha just couldn't see a way forward. AZ even moved out to a hotel for a while, despite the fact they were co-parenting. But there is still a huge amount of feeling between them. They've been together for 18 years and have two beautiful children."
The insider added that while the past months have been challenging for both Alesha and Azuka, the deep-rooted affection and shared history between them played a vital role in bringing them back together. It is believed that taking time apart helped them gain perspective, and living under the same roof allowed them to reconnect in a more meaningful way.
Alesha and Azuka’s love story has long been admired by fans. The couple first met when Azuka worked as a backing dancer for Alesha during her early solo career, and their friendship blossomed into a romance that endured the pressures of fame and busy careers.
Neither Alesha nor Azuka have publicly commented on the reports of their reunion yet, but fans are already celebrating the news online, with many sending messages of support and happiness for the couple’s fresh start.
