Love Island's Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde, who were a hit on the ITV dating show, have reportedly split up after three months of dating, but are now trying to "make it work".
The pair, who came third in the competition, had a rocky start but seemed solid when they left the villa. However, it seems their relationship has been tested since leaving the show, with Ella living in Glasgow and Tyrique in London.
The distance has reportedly made things tough but they are hoping to "make it work", the Mirror reported. "Ella and Ty split in secret but got back together and it's been like that for a few weeks now, they are very on and off," an insider told the Mail Online.
"Viewers saw how the dynamic between them can often be fiery and it's been no different since they left Love Island. This is the first time Ty has been in a relationship and often Ella can feel let down… she expects a lot from him, and he hasn't been delivering.
"They're trying everything they can to make it work but the romance currently hangs by a thread," they added.
Ella, who recently signed a big money deal with PrettyLittleThing, has also been travelling a lot for work.
OK! has contacted Tyrique and Ella's representatives for comment.
Tyrique's recent comment on Ella's Instagram post of her at The UK Beauty Awards doesn't seem to match the rumours. "Can't be the beauty awards if you didn't win anything," the 24 year old footballer sweetly wrote, complimenting his girlfriend's stunning looks.
Speaking about their relationship, Ella also revealed to OK! last month: "We have seen each other quite a lot actually. It is difficult but we need to make that time for each other, and we are."
She added: "When I first left the villa, I was looking to move ASAP. But everything is so busy now and looking for a flat actually takes so much time, so we have slowed it down and are going to be looking in the new year."
