Jake McLean tragically died in a car crash when he 'lost control' of the vehicle in Turkey.
Fellow The Only Way Is Essex star Yazmin Oukhellou was in the car with him and suffered serious injuries.
She is currently recovering in hospital and is now in stable condition.
Before the fatal car crash in the Bodrum area of Turkey, the duo had been travelling around Turkey on holiday.
He even invited pal and ex-lover Georgia Harrison out for a holiday in the sunny country.
Jake and Yazmin were reportedly having a night out at a club before the tragic accident.
'Club Row'
Before the car crash, it had been claimed the reality star and her on-off boyfriend Jake had an argument at a nightclub before leaving the venue.
A source told The Sun: "Jake and Yazmin were locked in a furious argument in the club in front of everyone.
"Things got extremely heated quickly but they ended up leaving the venue together.
"They got into their car straight from the venue – it’s all so tragic. Everyone is praying Yazmin makes some sort of recovery."
Yazmin and Jake are understood to have first been romantically involved in 2019 after Yaz split from James Lock. She even moved from Essex to Dubai to be with Jake earlier this year.
'Alcohol'
According to reports, prosecutors believe the car crash was an accident but Jake might have been going over 40mph.
They are also reportedly investigating whether the businessman was drink-driving as the accident happened in a 'touristy area' around the same time clubs close for the night.
As reported by The Sun as well as local media, detectives are awaiting autopsy results to find out whether there was any alcohol in his system.

Dark Drive
The couple were driving along a curvy, mountainous road that runs from the seaside resort of Yalikavak to Bodrum when they crashed.
Jake and Yazmin were driving in the early hours of the morning, when it was still dark, when they hit a blind spot.
Emergency services rushed to the scene but were unable to save Jake, while Yazmin was rushed to hospital.
She is said to be in a stable condition after undergoing surgery, according to her representatives.
They said: "Yazmin is stable and recovering in hospital after surgery. Yazmin and her family have requested privacy at this time."
