The Strictly Come Dancing professional and Gemma Atkinson confirmed their romance in a cute Instagram post in Tenerife on Valentine’s Day this year, and have since flooded their social media accounts with loved-up selfies since.
Gorka hinted that the twosome's relationship could take the next step as he admitted he believes he is destined to have a family of his own.
He said: “I would love to have my own family. I love kids. Hopefully one day I'll become a husband and a dad.”
The Spanish native also admitted he didn’t expect to fall in love during his time on the BBC show, in which he danced with Alexandra Burke, 29, on the last series.
“I never went into the show thinking I was going to find my partner. It happened after. You can't help who you fall in love with,” he told New! Magazine.

Gorka and Gemma also bonded over their shared passion for fitness, and regularly post snaps and videos of the pair working up a sweat together at the gym.
"It's not something I look for but obviously it's more fun as I can train with Gemma,” he continued.
The former Emmerdale actress and Gorka are currently enjoying a sun-soaked cruise together in Spain as Gorka performs alongside his fellow Strictly stars including Dianne Buswell and AJ Pritchard.
The pair have been updating their Instagram followers with several loved-up snaps during their trip.
Their getaway comes as bookmakers claimed Gemma and Gorka could be engaged very soon.
The odds on Gorka, popping the question to Gemma before the end of the year has been slashed to just 5/4, bookmakers Ladbrokes has revealed.
"Gemma and Gorka look thoroughly smitten with each other, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if they were to get engaged before 2018 is over,” said Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes.
Meanwhile, Gemma Atkinson put on a busty display for her 606,000 Instagram followers as she sunbathed with her boyfriend yesterday.
Gorka later gave his 69,000 social media fans a full glimpse of his tattooed body by uploading a picture of him and his girlfriend laying side-by-side in the hot weather.
He captioned the snap: “Finally some Spanish Sun!! @glouiseatkinson #chuffed #summer."
Many of the star’s followers flocked to his page to comment on the couple’s cosy selfie.
One user wrote: “You two are the dream couple. Always love your posts.”
Another commented: “You two are just the cutest.”
Also during their trip, Gemma filmed the pair working out as she teased a new venture in the future.
The radio host captioned the clip: “Grafting because I have exciting fitness news in the summer.”
It's currently unknown what the career move is, but Gemma is believed to be launching a clothing range.
The duo’s cruise appearance comes shortly after Gemma Atkinson put on a jaw-dropping display in racy swimwear last week.
The busty blonde flaunted her physique in seriously sexy attire, which clung to her desirable curves.
Gemma posed with confidence in the shot which also showed off her well-defined pins.
