Strictly Star HRVY Confirms Quiet Split from Girlfriend Mimi Slinger
Former Strictly Come Dancing star HRVY has confirmed that he and Mimi Slinger, known for her role in Emmerdale, have quietly ended their relationship.
The news came at a time when Strictly Come Dancing was back in the spotlight after reports surfaced about a married male contestant being filmed kissing his professional partner.
HRVY, who was a finalist in the 2020 series, shared the breakup announcement on his TikTok page with an image of himself deep in thought. The clip’s caption read:
“I'm now single… I blame that Vogue article.”
Context of the Vogue Article
The Vogue article HRVY mentioned was published on October 25 and carried the title: "Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?" It examined a growing trend where women “soft-launch” relationships by posting photos that obscure their partners’ faces or use blurred images.
Author Chante Joseph wrote: “So, what gives? Are people embarrassed of their boyfriends now? Or is something more complicated going on? To me, it feels like the result of women wanting to straddle two worlds: one where they can receive the social benefits of having a partner, but also not appear so boyfriend-obsessed that they come across quite culturally loser-ish.”
Summary
HRVY’s quiet breakup with Mimi Slinger coincided with ongoing discussions about modern relationship trends shaped by social media and public perception.
