Hours later, Sean shared a similar statement of his own. However, the star added an extra line at the bottom which read: “We both believe this is the best step for us moving forward.”
Their split comes after Love Island viewers believed the couple were faking their relationship three weeks after the finale aired. After they returned to the UK, the duo, who bagged third place on the 11th series, made an appearance on the Not My Bagg podcast.
They discussed how life has changed for them since the landed back in the UK. Despite looking very happy in each other’s company, many viewers believed they weren’t meant to be.

Fans flooded to the comments on the YouTube video to share their thoughts online. One user penned: “They don’t seem that compatible, I expect a breakup announcement in a few weeks after the hype dies down. She doesn’t seem that into him.”
Another agreed: “They don’t seem like a convincing couple.” A third took to Reddit to share their thoughts.
They argued: “Lmao, Its giving lights, camera, showmance.” It comes just days after the couple sparked split rumours while Matilda was spotted partying the night away in Ibiza.

The beauty posed up a storm with former Love Island winner Jess Harding on the party island. Fans were quick to raise their eyebrows when Sean was nowhere to be seen especially because the pair were still dating at the time.
But this wasn’t the first break away she enjoyed without her partner in crime. Matilda jetted off again recently, as she partied abroad with her co-stars to celebrate Grace Jackson’s birthday.
Fans will have to stay tuned to see how the reality stars will adjust to their freshly single lifestyle. Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter.
