Actress Laila Rouass and snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan have split.
The Footballers' Wives star announced the news of the end of their 10-year relationship on Twitter today,
She penned: "After nearly ten years of love and memories, Ronnie & I have parted ways. Peace & love to you all. Laila X."
Ronnie is yet to make any official statement on the split.
Laila and Ronnie met in 2012, and the pair became engaged the following year - but never tied the knot.
The pair crossed paths when Laila was househunting, she revealed in 2016.
The beauty told Irish News: “It happened by accident. I was shown around Ronnie’s house by his father, who told his son about meeting me.
“Ronnie called the estate agent, a friend of mine, and asked me out via her.
“When she said he was a snooker player, I said, ‘yeah, but what does he do for a living?’ I’d never heard of him because sport doesn’t interest me at all, although Ronnie’s won me over to snooker.”
In 2019, Laila opened up to the Mirror about why she and Ronnie hadn't walked down the aisle yet.
“I’d have to really gear myself up for a wedding. At the moment we’ve put it on the back burner and we’re enjoying our time so there’s no rush," she explained.
Seemingly on the same wavelength, Ronnie added: “It becomes a bit more important as you get older for legal reasons but for now we’re OK.
“If something’s not broke, why fix it? If it’s working, why change a winning formula?”
Ronne continued: “We’ve been engaged for a while now, so we know we want to be with each other, I’m sure we will get round to it.
“We’re very casual and laid-back about the whole thing anyway. When it happens, it will happen. I love her, I love her company, I admire her.
“She’s good for me in many ways and understands me and the business and gets it and what I go through.”
The pair became engaged in 2013, after meeting in 2012.
Despite the long-running engagement, neither of them seemed to be in any rush to tie the knot.
Ronnie has never married but has three children from two previous relationships.
