Shirley Ballas admits to previously being \u201cpushy\u201d about marriage to boyfriend Danny Taylor before calling off their engagement plans.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year the Strictly Come Dancing judge announced that she wasn\u2019t in a \u201cposition\u201d to get married and revealed she and her 50-year-old partner had a \u201cgood enough relationship\u201d without saying \u2018I do\u2019.<\/p>\n

In a new interview, the 63-year-old has gotten candid regarding marriage and has discussed how it felt to put a stopper in her and Danny\u2019s engagement ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have married him then, but now, with my life the way it is, I think we\u2019re both happy with our situation,\u201d Shirley told The Sun’s\u00a0Fabulous magazine. \u201cMarriage isn\u2019t a necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The author went on to reveal: \u201cI was a bit more pushy, and when it didn\u2019t happen, I thought: \u2018He\u2019s busy, I\u2019m busy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite temporarily silencing wedding bells, Shirley believes that the pair can still \u201cenjoy\u201d time together as they have \u201cno pressure\u201d on any further commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt works for us,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Shirley, who was first married to dancer Sammy Stopford between 1980 and 1984, and then to Corky Ballas between 1985 to 2007, has been dating actor Danny since January 2019.<\/p>\n

The pair met whilst rehearsing for Jack and the Beanstalk\u2019s Christmas 2018 run at the Liverpool Empire, and reportedly FaceTime on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
