Love Island stars Jack Fowler and Laura Crane’s relationship under strain amid split rumours after fame takes its toll
JACK Fowler and Laura Crane have admitted their hectic lifestyles are having a strain on their relationship after rumours they'd split.
The Love Island couple hit back at claims they've broken up — but are STILL not boyfriend and girlfriend.
Jack, 22, and Laura, 23, have been dogged by rumours of a split having recently spent the weekend apart sparking fans to speculate.
But speaking at this week’s The Festival premiere, Jack told the Sun’s Bizarre column: "Rumours are always going to be there.
“What’s important is what we know is going on. We both live very, very busy lifestyles at the moment.
“I’m doing a lot of PAs, Laura’s doing a lot of events as well. So we’re not going to see as much as we’d like to.
“We know where we are in this relationship. We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend but we are still dating. We are still going in that direction."
Laura praised the way they have approached the relationship since leaving the Love Island villa last month.
She added: “I think we’ve been the ones who have done it on our terms and not rushed into anything just because what everyone else is saying.”
At the weekend the pair went their separate ways with surfer Laura heading home to Devon and semi-professional footballer Jack attending Simon Webbe’s wedding.
It led to fans speculating they’d broken up with one asking on his Instagram account: “Are you and Laura still together or not?”
But Laura hit back with a post saying: “Before you assume, learn.
"Before you judge, understand. Before you hurt, feel. Before you say, think.”
However fans were still worrying and someone quizzed her: “Are u and jack still together?”
Laura’s rep told The Sun Online: “Jack and Laura are very much still together.
“Laura went to visit her family for the first time since leaving the villa and Jack had work commitments.”
