Ekin-Su Culculoglu has revealed she’s split from Davide Sanclimenti.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the 29-year-old actress confirmed she had parted ways with the Italian businessman for a second time as she blamed a ‘rollercoaster of ups and downs’ in their romance.
The Love Island winners split in June 2023 but reconciled just two months later, enjoying a romantic getaway to Turkey, where Ekin-Su’s parents hail.
Yet now the pair have gone their separate ways for good, with Ekin-Su confirming: The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship.
‘Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.’

She continued: ‘Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways..
‘Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.
‘Thank you for your continued support. It’s been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you’ll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su.’
It comes after she revealed how their relationship was impacted by her short stint on Dancing On Ice.

She recently opened up to Spin Genie about how hard it was to juggle training and a new relationship, saying: ‘I was working seven days a week and had no time for me or my relationship. I was overworked and exhausted.
‘If I hadn’t had so much on during that time, my experience on the show would have been different. I also wouldn’t have let the bad comments get to me.’
She added: ‘I’m stronger now. I was in the habit of Googling myself and I’d let the comments really upset me. Negative comments about my personality or my performance.’
Ekin-Su recalled crying when she got voted off, which she put down to exhaustion as she insisted she wouldn’t break down now.
After exiting Dancing On Ice, Ekin-Su headed to the Maldives with Davide but she admitted she didn’t enjoy it as she felt burnt out.
The pair then split in June but after reconciling two months later, Davide insisted that the two ‘never properly’ broke up.
