They confirmed that they had reconciled in July, after their turbulent relationship was seen coming to a crashing halt at the end of TOWIE’s last season.
And it has now been reported that Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks have split once again, following a series of blazing rows that proved to be too much for the couple.
A source told The Sun: ‘Megan and Pete have given their relationship everything – but it still hasn’t been enough. After an amazing start they have been arguing a lot again and neither of them can handle the stress and pressure of constant rows. They are constantly falling out – there’s no guarantee that they won’t rekindle again.’

MailOnline has approached representatives for Megan and Pete for comment.
Megan, 24, and Pete, 28, have been locked in a convoluted love story since she entered the structured reality programme in March last year, with their dramas captivating viewers following many bumps in the road.
And during an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women last month, Megan admitted that she was worried about their romance coming undone due to being in the public eye.
She said: ‘We had a nasty break up but I’m really happy with how we are. That break apart was the best thing that could have happened.

‘It is a worry but we’ve started it with a clean slate – any relationship in the public eye is hard but we do get picked on on Twitter.’
After a series of make-ups and break-ups the duo headed to Las Vegas to iron out the creases in their romance in June, yet Chloe Sims, who was previously embroiled in their woes amid infidelity claims, had some choice words over their reunion.
The mother-of-one said of the duo in August: ‘No one really cares about them getting back together, they need to try and keep it a little more to themselves this time. I hope this time round their relationship isn’t as toxic.’
Megan and Pete lashed out at the star, as Megan told OK!: ‘She doesn’t know us. If people are your true friends on the show or not, they will never say nasty things like that’, a stunned Pete concurred: ‘I didn’t realise she’d said that. That’s a bit of a nasty thing to say because she knows how hurt I was and how bad I felt at the time.’

In the same interview, which was published at the end of August, Megan even stated that she was adamant she would wed tattooed hunk Pete in what she will fashion as a ‘royal wedding’.
She said: ‘I would want it to be like a royal wedding. The Duchess of Cambridge meets Diana, Princess of Wales. A massive dress, all the ivy falling down, a huge church. I’d like a proper traditional wedding. I don’t like all that doing it abroad. I would want it to be massive!’
Pete went on: ‘I never thought about getting married before I was with Megan, but I think every girl does.’

While her personal life sees much turmoil, Megan is enjoying unexpected success in the musical arena, after her debut country single – entitled High Heeled Shoes – knocked Taylor Swift off the top of the iTunes charts last month.
She even branched out from TOWIE to shoot her own related reality show There’s Something About Megan, which detailed her journey to Nashville, Tennessee, where she recorded her chart-topping single.
And while she is on the cusp of enjoying even further success with her new career turn, Megan did admit to MailOnline that her split from Pete inspired much of work.
‘I wanted to write a song about when you love someone but they’re the problem basically,’ she said. ‘I went back to not a very nice place in my life when I was going through a break up and I kind of explained it all.’

Discussing what she meant by explaining herself, Megan admitted that she wanted to reveal her side of the story when going through her break up with Pete.
‘You guys have just seen me on telly [on TOWIE] losing it, going mad when I’ve had a break up, but no one saw the softer side of me with the break up, and I wanted to put that in the song. I really feel like it was a good way of explaining it.’
Megan and Pete confirmed they were back together in July, following months apart after it was revealed that Peter had been caught sending sexually explicit text messages to model ex Jacqui Ryland – while he was on holiday with Megan.
Announcing the news to fans that the pair had reconciled, brunette beauty Megan took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and Pete – and pined for him in the caption, which read: ‘T minus one week.’
