Kady McDermott splits from Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash after brief romance
LOVE Island star Kady McDermott has split from Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash following a brief romance.
The 26-year-old started dating the sports star, 24, over the summer but the couple struggled to make the relationship work long term.
A source said: “Kady and Matty had a really good couple of months but decided they weren’t right for each other.
“They are still mates and keep in touch, but there’s nothing romantic anymore. They had both just got out of long term romances when they got together so might not have been ready.”
They first went public with their romance at Wimbledon in July of this year after meeting on holiday in Portugal and hitting it off the month before.
At the time Kady had just split from former Towie star Myles Barnett, with whom she shares a house with.
Right-back Matty was in a four year romance with his girlfriend Sophie before meeting Kady.
Matty is thought to have lived with his ex Sophie and the former couple share a dog called Rio together.
