Posting a shot of himself on holiday with Abbie Quinnen, AJ captioned the photo: "Feeling HAPPY..." along with a love heart and holiday-themed emojis.

Fellow professional dancer Dianne Buswell sent well wishes, posting: "Happy for you brother."

One fan wrote: "So pleased for you. Looking good together. Ps love the photo."
