Ryan Phelan and Samantha X raised eyebrows at Channel 7

She celebrated their three-month relationship by dubbing him her ‘soulmate’.

And it appears behind-the-scenes turmoil may have contributed to former escort Samantha X and Ryan Phelan’s recent split.

The high-profile couple were allegedly under constant scrutiny from Ryan’s employer Channel Seven, sources told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.

Insiders have claimed ‘the pairing had raised more than a few eyebrows’ at the network, where Ryan, 42, is a news reporter.

Samantha, whose real name is Amanda Goff, announced she was quitting her lucrative escort career late last year for a ‘brand new life’ with her new beau.

The lovebirds quickly took to their social media to broadcast their happiness, paying touching tribute to each other with frequent posts.

‘Ryan and I have decided to end our relationship,’ the 43-year-old said.

‘The love was very deep between us, but sometimes love isn’t enough,’ she added.

The striking blonde also shared she will not go back to her controversial vocation.

‘I will continue to study my masters in counselling and psychotherapy and will continue to help and support other women,’ she offered.

‘I will not be going back to escorting, and instead look forward to a bright future helping women be the best they can be with or without a man!’ she continued.
