Jamie Bigg, known as Gladiators’ Giant, has caused shockwaves with his new relationship just months after separating from his wife, Katie.
The 40-year-old former bodybuilder and reality TV star has gone public with his new girlfriend, 28-year-old OnlyFans model Taylor Ryan. This news comes just months after his split from Katie, with whom he had been married for 13 years. Katie, a health and wellness influencer, took to Instagram to express her disbelief and pain at the rapid turn of events.
A Shocking Revelation
Katie’s reaction to the news was emotional and raw, as she shared her hurt with her followers. “Finding out about a new relationship so soon has been a shock. It’s hurtful and it’s painful to take in, especially as I’m still processing the breakdown of my marriage of 13 years,” she wrote. “We’re not even divorced yet, which makes this even harder to sit with.”
The couple’s split had been tough on Katie, and she is still grappling with the end of their marriage while Jamie moves on with Taylor.
A Sudden Career Shift for Giant
Meanwhile, Jamie’s public life has also taken a dramatic turn. Last week, he revealed on social media that he had been axed from the upcoming series of Gladiators shortly after revealing his relationship with Taylor. He claimed that the BBC had disapproved of his romance with the OnlyFans model and that they had cited “child safeguarding” concerns as the reason for his departure.
“I was faced with a choice that didn’t align with my values,” Jamie posted, clarifying that stepping away from Gladiators was not a decision he had made voluntarily. “This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning,” he added, expressing gratitude for his time on the show and his fans’ support.
A New Chapter for Jamie and Taylor
Despite the professional setback, Jamie remains confident in his future. He described his new girlfriend as “an incredible person” and expressed his pride in standing by her. Taylor, a model who transitioned from working as a barista to becoming a full-time OnlyFans creator, has amassed a large following for her content. She is also known for sharing her experiences with ADHD and autism, connecting with fans who appreciate her openness.
Jamie and Taylor are reportedly considering starting a family, though the timing of Jamie’s exit from Gladiators has undoubtedly added a layer of complexity to their plans.
Katie’s Emotional Response
Katie’s reaction to Jamie’s new relationship has been one of shock, as she processes not only her personal loss but also the speed with which her ex-husband has moved on. “It’s hurtful and painful,” she said, making it clear that she is still working through the emotional impact of their separation.
What’s Next for the Former Gladiator?
As Jamie and Taylor embark on their new relationship, the future remains uncertain. Jamie’s exit from Gladiators and his public support of his new partner have sparked both admiration and criticism. While some fans support his transparency and honesty, others feel that his decisions may have cost him his career.
For now, it seems Jamie is focused on his new chapter, both personally and professionally, as he stands by Taylor and looks forward to what comes next. Meanwhile, Katie continues to process the end of her long marriage, with many fans supporting her as she navigates this difficult time.
