Last Summer, Jacques O’Neill, 26, was seeing holding her hand as they headed to Manchester‘s trendy Sexy Fish eatery.
At the time, we told how social media star Ellie, 28, had first seen sparks fly with the Love Island alum back in July 2024.
Their relationship came after she dated convict and MTV star Stephen Bear in 2019, but the pair split up shortly after he confessed to cheating on her.
Despite appearing to go from strength to strength, with holidays to Ibiza, Jacques and Ellie have now called time on their relationship – and the pair no longer follow each other online.
The Sun approached Jacques for comment.
HAPPIER TIMES
Previously, an insider previously told us how their romance had blossomed.
At the time, they said: “Jacques and Ellie are really good match and love spending time together.
“They recently went on a romantic trip together, which made them even more smitten than before and they are now thinking about moving in together.
“Jacques gets on really well with her sister Daisey as well and they often all hang out together.”
Ellie has huge following on social media alongside her sister and the pair are known as the O Dolls.
The Huddersfield-born stars both battled it out for the Miss England title in 2016 before rocketing to social media fame.
ISLE DRAMA
Jacques rose to fame when he appeared on Love Island in 2022 and struggled with the breakdown of his relationship with Paige on the show.
He made the decision to quit and later admitted he struggled to “be myself” while struggling with his mental health and ADHD.
At the time, Jacques said: “Life has been very overwhelming recently and admittedly I’ve probably not handled myself in the best possible way.
