Shane Harding, 27, from Devon married Mert, 28, a barber, from Turkey after embarking on a holiday romance in 2022.
They went on to star on TLC reality show 90 Day Fiance and found fame on the hit series as part of the second season line-up.
The episodes followed eight Brits who are desperately pursuing love and so have decided to engage in a long distance relationship - and some of them are met for the first time on the programme's set.
Dealing with the drama that comes along with a long distance relationship with a complete stranger, viewers see a clash of cultures, explosive family dramas and dating problems that arise throughout the series.
But since the show, Shan and Mert have been happily married and the pair regularly documented their life together on Shane's TikTok.
Yet sadly three years on their partnership has come to a close.
Shane took to her Instagram account to post a snap showing the pair together, along with a dove and broken-heart Emoji.
She wrote the dates "23/06/2022 to 22/07/2025" and a lengthy caption in which she poured out her heart.
Shane told her followers: "Today marks the end of an era.
"Me and Mert have completely separated and he's moved out of our home . We've been together for 3 years and have had some of best memories together but also some of the worst.
"This is never how I wanted things to end and I really wanted our marriage to last our lifetime and to grow old together … but life had other plans .
"Mert has taught me a lot about life and love that I will always be thankful for, he gave me the gift of my mum getting to see me get married before it's too late.
"And I've learnt a lot about myself in these three years and I've grown in maturity and life experience and I am very proud of the person I am today."
Proving she wishes him well, she added: "I hope that life is kind to Mert wherever life takes him and I wish him well in these future.
"Thank you for all the love and support that so many people have shown us through the years it never went unnoticed.
"But for now it's the end of one chapter and it's time to open a new fresh chapter in my life, it's time to look forward and stop looking back."
Fans were quick to react to the news from the UK TV star and one put: "I'm sorry to hear that... I wish u both luck for the rest of ur life."
Another posted: "I am so bummed to hear this! I loved your story. Best of luck to both of you as you move on to your next chapters."
HAPPIER TIMES
Last year, Mert revealed that he 'finally got his visa decision' for him to stay in the UK with Shane.
Before this, the couple had been travelling back and forth to spend time with each other.
However, the pair were targeted by trolls with some claiming that he married Shane to secure his visa.
One wrote: 'Visa secured,' along with a thumbs up.
To which Shane replied: 'Wow, get a grip.'

'To everyone who found us through the chaos and chose to stay, thank you. Your support has made all the difference through this journey. And don't worry, we'll keep sharing our story … but this time, we're taking the mic." Polyfamily followed Taya and three other adults who formed the family they labeled a "closed quad." Their polycule is formed of Taya's husband, Sean Hartless, his girlfriend Alysia Rodgers and her husband Tyler Rodgers, who is also Taya's boyfriend. Each couple married before joining their polycule and have welcomed three children since becoming their closed quad, and they have chosen not to learn the children's paternity. Alysia and Tyler are parents to two children, whom they welcomed before entering a relationship with Taya and Sean. Taya previously opened up on how her and Sean first met the other couple and decided to form a polycule.

However, not all members of a polycule are necessarily romantically or sexually involved. Taya explained that each night the two men switch bedrooms, however she and Alicia remain metamours, meaning they aren't romantically or sexually involved. Describing their unique set-up, Taya said they just "indulged in what our hearts told us and let our brains follow."

Elizabeth Hurley gazes adoringly at Billy Ray Cyrus as couple put on a loved-up display at The Inheritance premiere in London
gazed adoringly at her boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus as trhey attended the premiere of her new Channel 4 show The Inheritance in London on Wednesday. The actress, 60, put on a loved-up display with the country singer, 63, as they held hands and posed together at the event. Elizabeth turned heads in a red figure-hugging midi dress with a cut out detail along the chest. The Bedazzled star added height to her frame with a pair of gold heels and complimented her look with matching earrings. Billy Ray opted for a black short-sleeved shirt along with a matching pair of trousers and black shoes. Also in attendance at the event was Rob Rinder who looked dapper in a dark brown suit and beige striped tie. The Inheritance sees twelve strangers arrive at a grand English country estate, lured by the irresistible opportunity to inherit a chunk of a vast fortune. The fortune belonged to a glamorous benefactor known only as 'The Deceased', (played by Elizabeth) who has left video messages for the players from beyond the grave. To release money from 'The Inheritance', the players must work as a team to complete a series of challenges – and in similar vein to The Traitors; the better they perform, the more money is released, and the bigger the prize pot. But The Deceased had one condition: to win the game they must persuade all others that only they should be entrusted with the money. The event comes after Billy Ray continued to enjoy his first UK summer at Elizabeth's £6m country pile on Wednesday. The pair's relationship began following his divorce from Firerose - and his third marriage. He had met Elizabeth on set of the 2022 movie Christmas In Paradise and as he was navigating through the split, he received a message from Liz. 'I felt like, "Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?" For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment... a friend reached out.' Billy then tried to recall the contents of the message and explained she had said, 'Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner; you've got a friend in your corner.' When he first received the text, the performer revealed that at first he didn't know who the message was from. 'So, I text back, I go, "Who is this?" And it's like, "Elizabeth Hurley." Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh.' He later gushed that the actress is 'a great human being' and also 'impressively brilliant.' 'She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman. If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.' The star also reflected on how he has also gotten close to his girlfriend's son Damian as well. 'It's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It's just a good thing. It's been a long time since I've been this happy.' Miley's mum Tish Cyrus was previously married to Billy from 1993 until their divorce was finalized in 2023. Billy shares daughter Miley as well as Noah, 25, and Braison, 31, with Tish. He also became stepfather to her other two children from a previous relationship: Brandi, 38, and Trace, 36. He is also dad to son Christopher, 33, whom he welcomed with ex Kristen Luckey. Elizabeth lives in her £6million 13-bedroom estate in Herefordshire with son Damian, who she welcomed with the late Steve Bing. The sprawling Georgian estate, which is Elizabeth's main home, also boasts five bathrooms and its own lake. She has owned Donnington Hall since 2012 that she bought with her then-fiance, Shane Warne who passed away in March 2022.

I looked older at 26 than I do now as I loved tanning my face so much – a 20p secret banished my forehead wrinkles
A WOMAN has shared the secret she swears by to reverse ageing. Laura Elle took to social media to share her before and after pictures and people were left stunned by the results. 2 2 She revealed that by the age of 26, she already had deep lines on her forehead due to tanning and not looking after her skin. In the clip, Laura said: "Tans face every day with no sunscreen ever. She also said she rarely took her makeup off, and if she did, she just used wipes. Laura also said she never used skincare and relied on the sun to sort her skin out. But the results of that were clear to see in the before image. Laura's skin looked severely dehydrated and she had texture on her skin as well. Her forehead was also covered in deep wrinkles and her undereyes and jowl were also showing clear signs of ageing. But three years on, Laura looked like a totally different person and had managed to reverse the ageing process. Her skin was now glowing and her wrinkles were nowhere to be seen, and she said it wasn't down to Botox or filler. Now 29, she revealed the changes she made to improve her skin which of course included not tanning on sunbeds anymore. I found the best summer body glow in Primark - it's only £3.50 & isn't oily She also said she was consistent with her skincare routine, using sunscreen twice a day. She also used products with collagen and retinol to increase skin cell reproduction. But to get rid of her forehead lines, Laura swore by Frownies, which work by limiting face movement and smoothing out wrinkles. A pack of 144 cost £28.95, meaning each patch costs just 20p. Laura recommends applying them at night after applying your skincare. The clip went viral on her TikTok account @ lauraelle111 with over 300k views and people were quick to comment on her transformation. One person wrote: "You are beautiful - I'm off to order some frownies (you need commission) lol." Another commented: "Frownies have been added to cart because I've had forehead wrinkles since I was 17." "You definitely aged backwards," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "We gained a baddie, let go of the tanning beds people!"
