Shirley Ballas, 66, is reportedly growing close to Italian dancer Giuseppe Nonnis, 36, according to two editions of the same outlet. The reports link the developing closeness to Ballas’ comments about her dating life after previously describing a string of “disaster” relationships.

In the coverage, Ballas is said to have spoken about abandoning hope of finding love, which is presented as part of the context for why the new connection is notable. Both sources frame the relationship as being in a growing or developing stage rather than confirming a formal commitment. The reports also emphasize the age gap and Nonnis’ Italian background, but do not provide additional independent details such as timelines, public appearances, or statements from either Ballas or Nonnis.

The articles draw primarily on speculation and reported closeness rather than documented events, and they do not describe any direct quotes from Ballas or Nonnis within the provided text.
