Caleb Corprew and Justine Ndiba have announced their split just three months after winning Love Island USA.
The reality stars won season two of the hit dating show, taking home the grand prize of $100,000 and making history as the first black couple to win the series.
Sharing news of their split, the couple shared lengthy statements to their Instagram accounts on Sunday.
Justine, 27, wrote: “It’s truly a strange feeling to be typing this out but I understand my reality is now having to share some aspects of my life with you all regardless of how private I’d like to remain at times.”

“This is extremely difficult for me to express but out of respect for those of you who supported me, and rode for me, I want you to know that Caleb and I are no longer together.
“I do ask for time as I continue to go through the process of heartbreak and healing as this has all been very hard for me.
“I cannot thank you all enough for the love and support to this point and I hope that it may continue as we move forward as individuals,” the model concluded the post.

Caleb, 24, wrote: “As many of you may already know, Justine and I are no longer together. I wish her the absolute best and much continued success as God blesses her with new opportunities and adventures.
“This announcement has been one that we have wrestled with for some time now. Not knowing exactly when or how to deliver it.
“The nature in which we met and fell for each other comes with a unique set of obstacles that nothing in life can ever prepare you for.
“We genuinely appreciate those of you who have supported us and thank you in advance to those of you who will continue supporting us as individuals moving forward.”

He continued: “It is an unexplainable feeling to give yourself to the world and the world asks for more of you in return. With that last sentence in mind, I hope those of you who have supported us will choose compassion over condemnation during this difficult time.
“Myself, Justine, our loved ones, etc. are all real people with real emotions who love and hurt hard. Unfortunately when you choose privacy… others often feel it is their place to tell your story for you. Speculation or not.
“Even with that in mind, I am still choosing for the sake of my own personal peace. I kindly ask that you please respect any of Justine’s or our loved ones desire for privacy as well.”
