An onlooker told the paper: ‘Kai and Nadiya didn’t seem at all secretive about their relationship – they’re a couple like any other.’

Another added: ‘Kai was outside the hotel for about 15 minutes and waited until everyone else in the touring party had checked in — but Nadiya came along a short while later.’

MailOnline has reached out to representatives for both Nadiya and Kai for comment at the time of original publication.

The paper adds that ‘Nadiya and Matija actually separated months ago’ and footballer Matija is ‘furious’ about recent reports concerning their love life.
