With government needing to implement measures to protect society, amid the coronavirus pandemic, couples were left with a tricky decision to face, isolating alone or together.
Also, with sanctions in place preventing free movement like never before and folk only being able to venture outside to retain essentials items or daily exercise, it’s safe to say we have all felt the strain of being in such close proximity of our loved ones 24/7.
It will come as no surprise that celebrity relationships have felt the pressure, with many break ups blaming the pandemic for their relationship failures.
The Daily Star takes a closer look at couples who have gone their separate ways during the Covid-19 outbreak.
