Love Island stars Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Curtis Pritchard SPLIT after four months
Announcing the split on Instagram on Wednesday, Ekin wrote: ‘I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our seperate ways’
‘Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. We’re both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, EkinSu Xx’.
Curtis is yet to comment on his own social media.
Ekin’s post comes just days after she shared a gushing declaration of love for her boyfriend over on Instagram.
Commenting on one of Curtis’ most recent posts amid the launch of his boxing career she penned: ‘I just want you to know how incredibly proud I am of you.
‘Watching you train so hard and give it your all in that match was amazing…. you were strong, focused, and honestly just unstoppable. Win or lose you’re a champion in my eyes. I love you!’
The unlikely couple shocked fans after making their relationship official while in the villa back in January and from the get go they were plagued with rumours their relationship was fake.
Laughing off recent allegations that they’re only in a relationship for the publicity in March, Ekin told The Sun: ‘I’ve got respect for anyone’s opinions.’
She added: ‘I think everyone is entitled to think something and I can understand why they think that, because on the show we are theatrical people and when we come together, it is like a performance.
‘But it’s not a showmance, it’s real. It just feels right. It feels healthy and I am myself.’
