Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti split for second time 18 months after winning Love Island

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has announced that she and Davide Sanclimenti have split less than two years after winning Love Island.

The reality TV star, 29, took to Instagram Stories on Monday to share the news that she had decided to call time on the romance.

"The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this relationship work as we cared deeply for each other," she told her 3.5m followers.

"Unfortunately, I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy for any couple, and we hope that our privacy will be respected at this time. I enjoyed our time together and will cherish the memories we made."

She added: "Thank you for your continued support. It's been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you'll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions."

The former couple met while taking part in the eighth series of ITV2's Love Island, which aired in 2022.

They were coupled-up for much of the series and despite experiencing their own share of drama, won the hearts of viewers who crowned them the eventual winners in August 2022.

Two months after they won, they revealed that they were moving in together, however by the following June they had announced that they had split, only to get back together three months later.

Sanclimenti has yet to comment on their latest split.
