Irish influencer Ellie Kelly has revealed she’s split from Conor Ryan.
The popular Dublin makeup artist dated the social media star for over six years, but admitted being in the public eye damaged their relationship.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Ellie said: “I think it (social media) ruined some of my relationship, there’s no doubt about that. We did it ourselves, but people just felt so entitled at one stage of my life.”
The Hold My Drink podcast host explained that some of her followers believed they should know what was going on in her and her boyfriend’s relationship because they shared some of it on social media.
She said: “At one stage of my life I was going through a bad patch in my relationship and I was getting messages from people saying ‘tell me what happened’ and I’d say no because it’s not their business, but they’d say ‘well, you brought us this far along your journey’.”
“Also, to see people publicly speak about your relationship as if you can’t see what they’re saying is a kick in the teeth. Behind closed doors, no one knows what actually happens, they see pictures of us online and the odd story or video, that kind of thing, and that’s it.”
“There is a side of it (social media) that I think definitely ruins relationships,” Ellie added.
