Love Island stars Gemma Owen and Luca Bish have confirmed their split after five months together.
The pair met on the ITV2 dating show in June and remained coupled up for most of the series, finally making things official after the show ended in August.
In recent weeks fans had speculated that they were no longer together, and taking to Instagram, Gemma - daughter of former footballer Michael Owen - announced the news.
"To all my followers, I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn't an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for us both right now," she wrote.
"Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning, and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters."
Luca, meanwhile, later wrote: "Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.
"I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.
"We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure.
"I can't thank everyone enough for their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island. We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her."
Paige Thorne and Adam Collard have also split since the show ended, while winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu are still a couple and reportedly planning to move in together. body check tags ::
