The former dancer, who shared her journey with fans in January, was given the all-clear in May. Now she’s going all in on wedding planning with Alldis — and the one thing they agree on is that it’s going to to be a blast.
“We’re going in between throwing a massive wedding or throwing a small wedding and a massive party," Alldis says. “But, either way, there’s going to be a massive party.”
He adds, “We said that if we’re going to spend our money on something, it’s going to be on entertainment. At our engagement party we had various DJs, but we had a saxophone player… [and musicians] playing brass instruments. We just love music. All of Leanne’s friends are dancers, so I’m sure there’ll be some dancing going on.”
As for the location, the couple — who got engaged in Aug. 2021 — are still figuring out whether they want to wed at home in the U.K. or in Ibiza, where Alldis proposed.
“We got engaged in Ibiza, so we’re looking into that,” he says. “But also, our friends and family are in England, so it could be in England.” He adds, “The problem I have is that I’m big about weather and in the U.K. it’s a bit hit or miss,” Alldis explains.
When it does take place, the celebration will be the opposite of how their romance began, which was very under the radar. Alldis says that he and Leanne — who both joined Peloton in 2018 — were friends first before they started dating.
“We didn’t know each other before Peloton. We were the two British people in New York [where the company is headquartered],” he syas.
“We both took quite big jumps. I moved from finance to fitness. She stopped being a professional dancer and went into this… Peloton in the U.K. wasn’t really a brand, so we were just thrown in the deep end.
“We became super close as friends and then it just started to slowly grow. But, at the same time, we wanted to be respectful of the brand, so we kept it quiet for a little while.”

“We wanted to find our own feet in our relationship before we started allowing the public to be aware of it,” he says. Their fans were delighted when theygot engaged in Aug. 2021.
