Love Island’s Grace dropped two huge clues she’d split from Reuben days ago – but nobody noticed
LOVE Island’s Grace Jackson dropped two huge clues she’d called it quits with Reuben Collins days ago.
The Sun revealed the pair have split weeks after leaving the telly villa.
Sources claimed the stunning model, 25, and footballer, struggled to make it work in the real world thanks to their conflicting, busy schedules.
She also hinted at this on social media days ago, when she shared a gallery of photos and captioned it “to the good life” but Reuben wasn’t in any of the shots.
The Manchester beauty also hinted things with Reuben were not as rosy as they seemed when they attended a premiere last week.
She posted pics from the It Ends With Us premiere but the first shot was her alone.
Grace buried another photo of them in the Instagram gallery.
A source close to the couple said: “Grace and Reuben have come to the mutual decision a romantic relationship isn’t right for either of them at this time.
“Grace wishes Reuben all the best and vice versa. They will remain friends and have no bad feelings towards each other.”
An insider added: “They have both been very busy since leaving the villa and the long distance has been difficult for both of them.”
Grace is based in Manchester, while Reuben lives in London.
Grace was a very successful model prior to entering the villa and has been inundated with offers since leaving the show.
The couple gained a huge following during their time in the villa over the summer – as they connected after a tricky few weeks for Grace.
The blonde beauty initially entered as a bombshell on day 12 and instantly reconnected with her former flame Joey Essex.
Things were going well, but then Jessy Potts entered the villa and Joey dumped Grace for her.
Things then started to blossom between her and Reuben – and the pair left the villa very happy.
Speaking to The Sun after her exit, Grace said: “Whether I made it to the final or if I didn’t, I was really pleased just to be there.
“I think, ultimately, what I went in for, I found. I’m enjoying my time with Reuben so much. So, whether it meant I left when I did or made it to the final, it wasn’t a massive deal in that sense.
“I’d found what I wanted so I was happy to go at any point.”
SPLIT RUMOURS
However fans believed they’d split after seeing videos of Grace with Omar at the GRM Gala earlier this month.
Sources told The Sun they were holding hands in a tactile display that left witnesses believing there were a couple.
A source said: “They were all over each other at the GRM Gala holding hands and his arms were around Grace.
“He stayed by her side all night, whereever she went and it was the sweetest thing to watch. Fans were chatting to them and saying you look great together and Grace couldn’t stop smiling, she looked so happy.”
