Love Island couple Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde have split after six months together, MailOnline can reveal.
Scottish model Ella, 23, has unfollowed footballer Tyrique, 24, on Instagram, and he’s done the same – with the exes removing all trace of each other from the platform.
It comes just 11 days after the pair celebrated Valentine’s Day together and Tyrique treated Ella to a Louis Vuitton bag worth £1,200 as well as a romantic meal and hotel stay, where he decorated the room with love heart shaped balloons.
Ella and Tyrique met in a nightclub before they starred on Love Island together last summer but quickly established feelings for each other in the villa.
MailOnline reported in November that their romance was ‘hanging by a thread’ and they had even split in secret before giving their relationship one last shot.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Ella and Tyrique have decided it’s time to go their separate ways.
‘They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they’re always arguing.
‘This time, things have ended badly… and they have both removed all recent photographs of each other from their respective Instagram profiles, as well as all Snapchat content.
‘They have unfollowed each other as well… it certainly feels like this breakup is final.’
Ella and Tyrique came third during the latest summer series of Love Island, losing out on the top two positions to runners-up Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki and winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root.
Their split means Whitney and Lochan are the only couple still together from the top three after Jess and Sammy ended their romance shortly after scooping the £50,000 cash prize.
During their time on the show, Ella and Tyrique often squabbled but their feelings for each other prevailed.
MailOnline has gone to Ella and Tyrique’s representatives for comment.
