“Let’s Dance” professionals still on cloud nine Patricija Ionel and Evgeny Vinokurov reveal the love secrets of their long relationships
Both are happily taken!
In the big professional challenge of “Let's Dance”, Patricija Ionel and Evgeny Vinokurov dedicate themselves to a very special topic: love. The two professional dancers present an emotional rumba to Lara Fabian's soulful ballad “Je t'aime”. A topic that plays an important role for her not only on the dance floor, but also in real life. Both have been in happy relationships for years, are married and have children. But what is her secret to a long and fulfilling love? They tell you this in detail in the video.
“If you’ve already found the love of your life, keep it forever!”
Patricija Ionel and her husband Alexandru Ionel have been a couple since 2019. They met through their shared passion, dancing. In the same year they also became a dance couple. The wedding followed in January 2022 and the two are now parents to three children together.
Patricija is clear about the values that shape her family. “We also have three rules in our family: God, love and family,” she explains. She and Alexandru also want to pass on these values to their children. Your wish: “I also wish everyone out there to live with love. No matter what we do, no matter where we are – just do everything with love.” It is particularly important to keep true love once you have found it. “If you’ve already found the love of your life, keep it forever.”
“Dancing does indeed end at some point, but love remains!”
Also Evgeny Vinokurov knows how important a stable partnership is. The professional dancer has been with his wife Nina Bezzubova since 2019. The successful dancing couple married in September 2021 and now has three children.

For Evgeny, communication and cohesion are the foundation of every relationship. “You always have to disclose everything and talk to each other,” he says. At the same time, it is important to find compromises in difficult situations. “All families have disagreements and misunderstandings somewhere. At the end of the day you have to do the maximum to have a compromise before you just fall apart.”
And Patricija also sums up the message of their joint professional challenge at the end: “Dancing is actually over at some point, but love remains.”
