Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall have called it quits on their romance barely three months after leaving the South African villa.
The 25-year-olds began their affair while hunting for love on the ITV 2 dating programme and rapidly developed feelings for one another.
Despite often appearing together on social media, it has been reported that they chose to split up not long after finishing second on the programme.
The aspiring stars met on the winter edition of the popular series, which aired earlier this year and was hosted by Maya Jama.
A source appeared to corroborate the reports, explaining that they were suffering with demanding work schedules and distance.
‘Lana and Ron really put everything into their romance and have tried to make things work for some time now,’ a source revealed to MailOnline.
They continued: ‘Unfortunately, they have decided to separate, which is a decision they have made amicably and of course, they still remain good friends.
‘Commuting from Manchester to Essex and back again whenever they wanted to spend time together, as well as managing their work commitments just proved too difficult.’
Despite the split rumours, Ron uploaded photos of himself with his supposed ex hours ago and has been commenting beneath her personal photos on Instagram, writing, ‘Proud, deserve the world x [sic]’ one day ago.
Ron has already acknowledged to rough moments in their relationship, which fans watched on TV as their romance blossomed, and has alluded to their long-distance living condition.
He told The Sun: ‘It’s not forever. Every relationship at some point, it’s natural to move in together.

‘It’s weird we get so many questions like “When are you moving in?” and you’re like… baring in mind we’ve only been together a couple of months, one of her big goals and one of my big goals is to buy a place up there, and down here, have our own bases.
‘Then when we’re ready, it could be six months, a year, two years, I don’t know, then we’ll buy together.
‘I can see myself going up there, I can. I feel like leaving my friends and family would be like hard, but for her I’d do it. I don’t care. So that would be the natural profession.
‘But right now, we’ve been out five/six weeks, I think we spend six or seven days apart, everyone sort of grilled me I think for when I said I want to miss her.
‘When I’m not with her, it’s actually quite hard. It’s well hard.’
