After almost two on-off years together, ex-Love Island winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti have sadly called it quits.
After stealing the hearts of the nation back in 2022 - with Ekin-Su's sass and Davide's iconic one-liners - the lovebirds when on to win the show and walk away with a £50k cash prize.
The pair first announced they'd gone their separate ways in June 2023, with model Davide, 29, breaking the news on social media.

"Ekin Su and I are no longer together," he said on Instagram. "I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and I wish her nothing but the best.
"I would like for everybody to respect this decision during this difficult time, I will continue to support Ekin in any way possible."
Despite their split, the couple were spotted cosying up together on several different occasions, later revealing they'd rekindled their relationship.
Now, however - a year and a half after first meeting on the much-loved ITV2 dating show - it looks as though Ekin-Su made the decision to call time on their love for good.
The Turkish actor, also 29, wrote online today (30 January): "The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship.
"Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other. "Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways."
Ekin-Su went on: "Breakups are never easy for any couple, and we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and will cherish the memories we made.
"Thank you for your continued support. It's been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you'll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions."
Since the news broke, however, a handful of fans have been wondering whether the couple's split could be a prelude to their appearance - either separately or as a pair - on the ongoing series of Love Island: All Stars.
One wrote: "Both bombshells I reckon."
Another fan of the duo speculated: "Now that Ekin Su and Davide broke up. One of them will probably come in this season… or probably both. They finna get back together as well. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandAllStars."
"Ekin Su and Davide have broken up (again) so maybe it’s time for Ekin to visit the all stars villa #loveisland #loveislandallstars," a third predicted.
Someone else begged ITV producers: "GET EKIN SU ON LOVE ISLAND GIRL."
Tyla contacted both Ekin-Su and Davide's representatives for comment.
