The 35-year-old dancer was all smiles as she joined accountant Stuart Wood for a walk in Primrose Hill, London, yesterday afternoon.
Going for a cool, casual look, Karen showcased her enviably toned figure in a pair of ripped jeans, chunky heeled ankle boots and a bomber jacket, adding a knitted scarf to keep warm in the brisk weather.
Stuart, 27, beamed as he chatted animatedly away to the Strictly Come Dancing bombshell and a female pal.
The pair were seen leaving her home on Saturday just minutes apart, sparking speculation that they could be an item amid The Sun’s report of Karen and Kevin’s marital woes.

The dancers have been together for over seven years and tied the knot in 2015.
“Stuart is absolutely besotted with Karen and thinks they might have a future together,” an insider told the publication. “They’ve met up on a number of occasions over the past few weeks and are getting to know each other.
“She’s been telling him that there could be a future for them and despite working on her marriage with Kevin there is hope for Stuart that they might eventually elope together,” the source added.

However, Karen has previously dismissed claims about her relationship with Grimsby-born Kevin, telling the publication: “We’re just a regular couple, we’ve been together for seven years and like any other relationship you have your ups and downs and nothing it ever perfect so you make it work.”
Meanwhile, claims have been made that Kevin is desperate to save their marriage, with a source telling the MailOnline: “Poor Kevin is heartbroken.
“It’s making it very difficult at Strictly as all the dancers knew but Kevin did not want to accept that his marriage is over,” they continued. “But sadly the writing is on the wall.”
