Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti has released his own statement regarding his break-up with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old took to her Instagram to share the news of their split.
The reality TV show winners dated for 18 months after winning the hit ITV dating show back in 2022.
Taking to his own Instagram stories, the Italian star said: “Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up…”
“Ekin and I, just after the ski holiday, decided to go different ways. It was a joint decision, but I was waiting to make it public to respect her time in the show. I don’t know why the agreed statement changed last minute.”
“I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its up and downs like all couples. I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the Villa until the life outside. I really believed in us and saw a future for us.”
