The TV chef, who shares Musa, 17, Dawud, 16 and Maryam, 13 with husband Abdal Hussain, has enjoyed a busy career since winning Bake Off.
However, a cryptic post earlier this week left her fans worried.
Fans concerned after Instagram posy
On Tuesday (6 February), Nadiya posted a picture of an empty mug on Instagram. After drinking the tea, the inside of the mug was left stained at the bottom but appeared to make the shape of a broken heart.
Alongside the picture, Nadiya wrote: “Sometimes. Some things have to end. In order to find love.

“This is so mysterious! We hope you’re well,” one fan said.

A third fan pointed out that the broken heart could mean she’s separated from husband Abdul.
“Sending love Nadiya. Endings are always hard,” a fourth fan added.

She explained to Radio Times that the reason for that is not because she’s not grateful, but because working in TV makes the experience far less enjoyable than before.
“I stopped watching a few years ago, because working in telly ruins the viewing experience – I pick it apart in a way I never used to,” she admitted.
