During an Instagram Q&A with his followers, Casey O'Gorman, a Love Island star, and Rosie Seabrook announced their separation. A fan asked the TV star: "How are things with you and Rosie?" To which Casey replied: "Rosie and I have spoken... she's such a great girl.
"Life outside the villa is just very different and we will remain friends moving forward!" which he followed with a white heart emoji. Rosie hasn't commented on the breakup, but she revealed yesterday that she was spending the day with Jessie Wynter, another ex-islander, before going to a Chris Brown concert.
It happens after the couple made a "awkward" appearance on the Love Island reunion programme on Sunday night, which led to fan speculation that the couple had already broken up.

They both appeared to hesitate a little before responding when Maya Jama, the host of the Love Island reunion show, questioned them about the status of their relationship.
Casey said: “We got back and said to each other that we’re just gonna see family and friends for the week. It’s all a bit overwhelming when you come back so that was the plan. But we’ve got a date on Tuesday, so we’re looking forward to that…”
“I think there’s a lot of pressure, and we’re just not at that stage yet and we just want to take it a bit slower.” Social media sleuths also noticed that both Casey and Rosie posted about the reunion show, but didn't post an image together, make a mention of each other or like each other's posts.
And a source close the former couple, told MailOnline: "It was clear from the moment they left the villa that Casey and Rosie weren't going to last.
"They haven't made any effort to spend time together on the outside or go on dates to truly get to know each other and they both agreed it was better to quit while they were ahead."
Despite Casey previously partnered with Claudia Fogarty, Rosie and Casey rapidly grew close in the villa. After a few of eventful days, Casey made the difficult decision to break up with Claudia, who was already feeling emotions for him and was extremely upset.
Yet, there were constant rumours that Casey was more interested in his bromances with Will Young and Tom Clare, despite the fact that he and Rosie appeared to be moving forward with their relationship. Even Ron Hall remarked at one point that Casey frequently preferred to spend more time with his pals than getting to know Rosie.
