Dating history
Kenny Bednarek and Sharmila Nicollet have been dating since 2020
Nicollet and Bednarek are in their fifth year since they started dating in 2020 when the pair met. Their relationship has been kept private, only making rare public appearances as it was the case with the Paris Olympics.
The lovebirds though, have maximised the social media where they post photos of them being together. Nicollet has been the bedrock of support to Kenny Bednarek, keeping him grounded and standing by him through ups and downs while the sprinter has never shied away from getting emotional about his partner.
In early 2024, the couple celebrated four years together as Nicollet flaunted pictures from the past. Bednarek, late last year, visited Nicollet’s hometown after the Olympics, presumably to celebrate his wins with her family.
Fans have never stopped gushing about them together and since they’ve always set relationship goals with their constant hyping up and encouraging messages for each other.
