‘The strongest woman I know, the one who has changed my life and always stood by my side. With you, I’ve learned so much, and I keep learning every day.
‘I want to dedicate these words to you, even though they’ll never be enough to express how much I love you and how extraordinary you are to me.
‘You are the best woman I know, my greatest support, my strength, and my love. I want to grow old with you and cherish every single day of my life with you.
‘I love you endlessly. Thank you for being who you are, for changing my life, and for being my rock. Happy birthday, my love.❤️’
His post comes just days after he was spotted on British soil to teach a dance class – five months after he was sacked from Strictly Come Dancing.
Graziana was axed from the show in July over reports he verbally and physically abused his celebrity partner Zara McDermott during last year’s series.
He fled the UK when the scandal broke to his native Italy with his wife – who is a professional dancer on the Italian version of the series.
But Graziana returned for the first time since leaving, being spotted arriving for a dance class in London earlier this month.

Graziano Di Prima is back in London with wife Giada Lin – months after he was sacked from Strictly
The former Strictly pro recently broke his silence following his sacking as he teased his return to the spotlight.
Graziano took to social media to share he is raring to get back on the stage, posting a moody video of himself walking on a bridge at night time, before being joined by Giada.
Alongside the clip, Graziano wrote: ‘Dance has always been the center of my life, my greatest passion, the path I chose and dedicated years of study, sacrifice, and love to. After a period of reflection, I feel stronger than ever and eager to return to what I love most: dancing.’
He continued: ‘The future is a whole world of new open windows, ready to welcome new dreams and new challenges, and I’m excited to continue this journey with even more determination and inspiration.’
Speaking to his fans, Graziano added: ‘A heartfelt thank you to everyone who is always there for me. I’m thrilled to dance again with the same enthusiasm and dedication as always.
‘See you soon, whether on stage or through new projects that I will be very excited to share with you.’
Two weeks before his firing, Graziano gushed over how Giada and Zara had shared a friendship.
Asked about how the married couple navigate the Strictly ‘curse’ in an interview with OK! magazine, Giada said that cheating can happen anywhere, but the important thing is trusting your partner.
And revealing that the couple had socialised with Zara outwith the training studio, Graziano added: ‘We always include our dance partners and go for dinner and get to know each other.’

The dancer had also said that he and Giada were thinking about starting a family in the interview – weeks before he was fired and ‘fled the UK to Italy to start a new life’.
Of having children, Graziano said: ‘We are both dancers and I always say to my wife, when she feels ready I am always here to support her.’
Graziano married Giada in a lavish ceremony in Sicily in 2022, seven years after they got together.
The dancers exchanged vows during a traditional Catholic ceremony having previously postponed their wedding plans because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 90-minute Catholic service took place within the Mediterranean island’s Basilica della Madonna della Catena, a historic church situated in the quant village of Castiglione di Sicilia.
Graziano and Giada first met in 2014, and he has previously admitted that he ‘fell in love instantly’.
