Amy Childs splits from father of her second child Ritchie after almost two years together
AMY Childs has split from the father of her second child after nearly two years.
The former Towie star, 29, and Ritchie called it a day a few months ago.
Friends tell The Sun the split was amicable and the pair are still speaking.
A source said: “They broke up on good terms and will remain friends.
“He’s still a big part of her son's life and sees her regularly.
“Her children are the biggest part of her life and they both want the best for their children.”
Another source says friends and family have all been surprised about how well she has been doing.
They said: “She’s really busy, she’s doing lots of work.
“She’s doing her blogging and her baby range with Obaby and Roma prams – and she still won’t leave the kids.
“Some thought she’d be in bits over the break-up, but she’s happy, really focused and looks glamorous.”
They added: “She’s got a really good friendship and family network.”
The pair were first spotted together on holiday in the Caribbean in February last year.
A few months later in April she revealed she was pregnant again.
She gave birth in September and posted a picture of her boy, saying: "My beautiful son, Welcome to the world darling .... Born Saturday 1st September 4.12am."
Days later The Sun later revealed her baby daddy is a high-flying businessman who had no interest in being famous and had been dating the former The Only Way Is Essex star for eight months.
A source explained at the time: “Amy’s partner is a businessman and he’s got no interest in showbiz or that lifestyle.
“His focus is Amy and the baby and she completely respects his wishes.
“Right now Amy is the happiest she has ever been in her whole life. It’s a really exciting time for them.
“He is the best boyfriend to Amy and is absolutely brilliant with her little girl Polly.”
Amy gave birth to Polly in April 2017 and split up with the father Bradley Wright six weeks after she was born.
He is a builder who has a criminal record and has served two stints in jail and time in a Young Offender Institution.
