Kristina Rihanoff makes a serious assertion all is properly together with her fiancé Ben by posting ‘the Cohen women’ after he revealed he was ‘combating to avoid wasting his relationship and residential’

Kristina Rihanoff made the ultimate statement all was well within her relationship with her fiancé Ben after he revealed he was ‘fighting to save it’ last month.

The former Strictly dancer, 47, took to Instagram on Monday night to share a sweet snap with his two eldest daughters from his marriage to Abby at a black tie event. 

Kristina put on a glamorous display in a green diamante studded dress as she posed for a photo with his 16-year-old twin daughters, Harriette and Isabelle. 

Ben left wife of 11 years Abby for his Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina, after being partnered up with the blonde bombshell during his 2013 stint on the show.

Proving she had a strong relationship with his daughters, Kristina captioned the shot; ‘The Cohen Girls’. 

The united family display comes after the couple placed their £1.75 million home on the market amid money struggles, which Ben said in court last month has put pressure on their relationship. 

The five-bedroom home in Northamptonshire, which was bought in 2016, was put up for sale last month for £1,750,000.

Ben pleaded poverty, admitting he was ‘fighting to save his relationship and home’ after Kristina was caught driving without insurance.

She was slapped with six points on her licence but faced a ban for totting up 12 penalty points after being caught behind the wheel of her £30,000 Audi Q3 in Northampton on April 4.

The sale of the house appears to be a bid to salvage some of their financial difficulties after the pair set up several businesses together. 

The pair, who share an eight-year-old daughter Melina, now face more potential legal battles after failing to submit accounts for a yoga studio which plunged almost £500,000 into the red.

Their money troubles started to rear its head following the Covid pandemic in 2020, which impacted their fitness and wellbeing studio called Soo Yoga in Northampton.

The business struggled to make money during the pandemic, which Ben acknowledged while giving his testimony at Northampton Crown Court.

‘I get up every day and I fight not to lose everything – to lose my cars and my house and my relationship. I’m so overdrawn,’ he said.

When questioned on how this was impacting his relationship he added: ‘We’re still living together. We’re in it financially.

‘We’re in business together so the problem is that we opened the business before Covid and we got the worst severities of it and in all honestly this is just another problem for me to deal with.

‘I’ve got credit cards that are overdrawn. I’m overdrawn in both accounts. We have got a business debt because of Covid. It’s just another problem.’

Companies House records show that the Soo Yoga Group Ltd was £488,470 in the red in its last submitted set of accounts for the year ending on July 31, 2022.

Soo Yoga Group was set up by Kristina and Cohen in June 2017, but the professional dancer stepped down as a director and transferred her 50 per cent shareholding to her finance in September 2022.

The studio’s website says it offers a range of ‘holistic’ classes including yoga, pilates, dance, cycling, spin, Hiit and meditation for a membership of £690 a year, or a pay-as-you-go rate of ten classes for £120.

Its debts include an outstanding £190,000 loan made to Soo Yoga Group by a company called Bespoke Ballroom Ltd which is 50 per cent owned by Russian-born Kristina who is listed as an American citizen.

The company was listed to be compulsorily struck off on December 27, 2022, but the action was suspended nine days later and discontinued on April 28, 2023.

Records also reveal that a food services company called Soo Greens Ltd which is 100 per cent owned by Soo Yoga Group Ltd was effectively £6,633 in the red, taking into account future liabilities, in its last accounts for the period ending on July 31, 2020.

The company’s accounts for the year ending in July 2021 have still not been filed and are now nearly 29 months overdue.

Another company called Soo Purple Mountain Ltd which is also owned by the Soo Yoga Group, was set up in December 2021 and dissolved by a voluntary strike off in February this year without ever filing accounts.

A fourth company called Soo Group Ltd which was half owned by Cohen and half owned by three other people was also incorporated and voluntarily struck off on the same dates.

A fifth company called Yoga Wellbeing which is 100 percent owned by Rihanoff was £5,041 in the red, taking into account future liabilities, at the end of July 2020. Its accounts are also nearly 29 months overdue, according to Companies House records.

The couple’s business struggles only came to light after Ben laid the issues bare in court, while admitting he had not renewed his partner’s car insurance details.

Kristina left Strictly in 2015 after falling pregnant with Ben’s daughter, now eight.

Earlier last year, Ben said his relationship with Kristina had been ‘strengthened’ by ‘difficult times in business’ ahead of their wedding.

He told HELLO! magazine: ‘Over the last nine years we’ve been through the wringer. To support each other through difficult times in business is the ultimate test in a relationship.

‘I’ve watched her flourish, from her becoming a mum to growing as a businesswoman, and it has strengthened our bond.’

They told the magazine that they plan to make the big day a family affair with their daughter and Ben’s twin daughters, both 15, from his marriage to first wife Abbie Blayney Cohen, serving as bridesmaids.
