Bobby Brazier has reportedly split from his model girlfriend ahead of making his on-screen debut on EastEnders.
The eldest son of the late Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier was unveiled as a new face in Albert Square on Thursday, as he prepares to late on the role of Little Mo's son Freddie on the BBC soap.
Discussing his first major acting job, Bobby, 19, said "so far it’s been perfect" and described his venture into the soap world as "a blessing" when sharing his career news on Instagram.
But it seems things in his personal life aren't quite as joyous, with reports he and model Liberty Love, 22, have called it quits on their relationship.
The couple - who went public with their romance in May - have recently unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed any pictures of themselves together from their profiles.
Liberty, who is the daughter of director and DJ Don Letts, has also so far failed to publicly congratulate Bobby on his impressive career news in the wake of his EastEnders gig being announced.
Insiders have told The Sun the young couple have ended their relationship just two months on from making their red carpet debut as a couple together.
The Mirror has approached representatives for Bobby for comment.
On joining EastEnders, Bobby said on Thursday: "I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders - so far it’s been perfect. Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped.
"Stepping into the acting world has always been a vision of mine and doing that with EastEnders as a Slater is a blessing, I'm very grateful. Loving every minute of Freddie so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in Walford."
Freddie was last seen in Walford in May 2006 when he and Little Mo left to start a new life away from Walford. Now an 18-year-old Freddie is set to arrive on The Square as he finds himself on a mission that could end in heartbreak.
The juicy acting role is Bobby's first major acting gig, after making a name for himself in the modelling world over recent years.
The teenager - who bears a striking resemblance to his late mother - has posed for major brands, like Dolce and Gabbana, and is a rising star in the industry.
Earlier this year, the teenager graced the cover of a major fashion magazine and discussed mum Jade and his relationship with fame.
Big Brother icon Jade and Jeff welcomed Bobby into the world together back in June 2003 - just 12 months after the late pop culture icon became a household name at the age of 21.
The on-off couple went on to have another son, Freddie, before going their separate ways in 2004.
Bobby and Freddie were just five and four when Jade died from cervical cancer at the age of 27 in 2009.
In his interview with The Face in April, Bobby heartbreakingly explained how the iconic reality TV star's public persona is all he has left of his beloved mother.
"I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on a mum. It’s normal life to me," he confessed.
"I’ve kind of spent more life without her than I did with her."
When asked if he "misses" Jade, the teenager poignantly replied: "I don’t. Because I don’t feel like I was with her long enough to miss her."
Bobby went on to explain to the publication how he feels Jade and his family were dealt an "unfair" hand.
"I miss what could’ve been. I hear all the time she was such a presence, that she was one of a kind," he mused. "What hurts most is that it wasn’t just losing anyone, it was losing Jade."
He heartbreakingly added: "I just would’ve loved to have seen what other people had seen."
