The TV stars, both 28, won the £50,000 prize after winning last year’s series, winning the hearts of the nation with their heady yet relatable romance.
Some of the most iconic moments in the show’s long history seem to come from the duo, from Ekin-Su’s memorable crawl to Davide’s exasperated outbursts, like when he said his beau was as “fake as a Louis Vuitton from China’.
Since the end of the long-running show, the Turkish influencer and the Italian model moved in together and even filmed a travel show where they visited each other’s homeland to sample the local culture and delicacies.
While they looked good, there have been rumors of “cheating” surrounding Davide and “two models” in recent months.
He also admitted in a recent interview with The Sun that the pair still have their “struggles” because of their “public positions.”
However, it seems the ‘struggles’ with their new found fame have become too much, with Davide confirming on Instagram on Thursday that the couple had split.
He wrote: ‘@ekinsuofficial & I are no longer together.
“I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and wish her only the best.”
“I would like everyone to respect this decision at this difficult time. I will continue to support Ekin in every way possible.’
According to reports in April, the former Dancing On Ice star was “fuming and upset” with the boohooMAN ambassador, after allegedly finding messages on his phone from the models.
But soon after, Ekin-Su and Davide shut down the cheating rumors because they “of course” said they were still together when a fan on Instagram asked about it.
The pair had recently enjoyed a trip to his native Italy, although their relaxing holiday seemed to take a bit of a turn after they ended up in hospital together.
They were also spotted looking perfectly coordinated in ethereal white outfits at the Transformers premiere a few weeks ago.
Speaking about their relationship with The Sun earlier this month, Davide said, “The best thing about dating Ekin Su is that we understand each other — not just because we’re literally the same person.”
Ekin-Su, meanwhile, had recently been candid about the price of fame and the adverse impact it has had on her relationships.
She told Cosmopolitan UK that. ‘I do not have friends. I have a boyfriend and that’s it.
“Unfortunately, with fame, you see people’s true colors. People just want to be your friend because of your status, and it’s a hard industry to trust.”
The split comes after Ekin-Su announced she would be leaving the UK to try her luck at acting in Hollywood.
Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for Ekin-Su and Davide for comment.
Love Island is available to stream on ITVX.
