Love Island’s Faye and Teddy dramatically split after weeks of rumours and failed crisis talks
LOVE Island's Faye Winter and Teddy Soares have broken up after 18 months together, The Sun can reveal.
The reality stars desperately tried to keep their split secret from fans amid tense crisis talks since New Year.
Despite a battle to fix their rocky relationship, the exes have now quietly unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Faye confirmed our story this evening, telling fans: "I wanted to let you know that after lots of time and consideration, Teddy and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"Thank you all so much for supporting our relationship and sharing the journey with us. I’m forever grateful."
It's after Teddy, 26, officially moved out of the "dream" home they bought together.

He previously insisted: "I do not wish to comment on rumours speculating our relationship and ask for you to respect our privacy at this time."
An insider told The Sun: "Faye is devastated they haven't been able to work things out.
"She really hoped she and Teddy were forever, but sadly it wasn't to be.
"She's known deep down it was over for a while, but wasn't ready to let go.

"Faye's keeping her focus on their dog Bonnie and making sure she keeps busy with work."
The 27-year-old hinted she was single earlier this month when she posted a sexy lingerie shoot with the caption: "Valentines isn’t just for couples - it’s also a time to fall in love with yourself."
Faye, a Campaign Star for Guide Dogs, attempted to dismiss suggestions she'd split with Teddy in the Instagram comments.
She was slammed by fans for keeping her break up "secret" after attending the Brit Awards without Teddy and spending Valentine's Day solo.
Meanwhile Teddy has been putting on a brave face and spending time in the gym.
He's set to appear on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which he filmed last year.
Teddy said in the past: "Stress relief in the gym makes it a happy place."
The Sun previously revealed the Love Island stars had spent a week without contact to figure out their future.
Rumours have been swirling among fans for months that they were on the rocks.
They were on the edge of calling it quits, but agreed to give it another week before making a final decision.
Teddy broke down in tears on Instagram last month, telling followers he was in a "difficult position".
He added: "It's definitely okay to cry, it's definitely okay to let your emotions out."
Faye also opened up about her social media absence to worried followers in early January.
"Sorry for the deafening silence but it was needed," she said.
"Last year I took a battering, I took one for most people's team.
"Even to the point that my physical health took a battering. I just needed two weeks to reset."
She sparked "loving" concern from fans who pointed out her "very slim" figure.
One commented: "She is unreal. [Put a] bit of weight on Faye, and you'll be beating them off."
