Hours later, Curtis released a statement about his new single status.
In a message shared with his fans on social media, he wrote: "Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the kind messages — it really does mean the world.
"It's true, Ekin and I have decided to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy, but I'll always be grateful for the laughs, the adventures, and the memories (especially the dance routines).
He continued: "She's an amazing woman and I've got nothing but love and respect for her."
The statement concluded: "I'll be keeping busy with work,boxing, dancing, and working with the team on FINT. Lots of love, Curtis x"
The former couple made it to the final of the second All Stars series in January this year.
Crutis was fresh out of a break-up with his ex Sophie Sheridan when he signed up for the ITV2 show.
Over the last seven weeks, the 29-year-old has been training for a Misfits boxing competition.
He was supported by girlfriend Ekin who cheered for him at ringside despite his unfortunate defeat.
However, the pair had sparked concern from fans over the last few days as they were notably absent from each other's lives.
Announcing the news on Instagram today, Ekin-Su said: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.
"He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa.

Shoppers say skincare with 'unique' ingredient is 'worth every penny' for clearing spots
The mistake many beauty fans make when it comes to building a skincare routine to tackle their complexion concerns is by going overboard with 10 different products all containing different active ingredients. Quite often, a more minimalistic but carefully curated approach could be the answer. This summer, for those who are looking for fuss-free but effective skincare to use during the hot weather, celebrity-loved skincare brand 47 Skin has released a number of bundles. Not only do they take all of the confusion out of building a skincare routine, but are also 10% off for a limited time. The retailer is offering money off their two, three and five step bundles, all containing a range of products to help achieve clearer, glowing skin by reducing redness and inflammation. But the one thing they all have in common is 47 Skin's 'secret' ingredient: Silver Chitoderm. This unique ingredient creates an invisible barrier over your skin while killing bacteria and helping reduce the appearance of stubborn marks. It also locks in long-lasting hydration, is dermatologist-approved and clinically tested, designed to calm, hydrate and support visibly clearer skin. The most affordable is the 2 Step Cleanse & Protect Bundle, which contains the brand's everyday cleanser and powerhouse serum. It forms a protective layer that renews skin cells, heals scars, reduces spots and blemishes, and prevents future breakouts. Usually £53, the bundle is now £47.50. Boasting an even better value for money, the 3-Step Treatment Bundle, now £74, features both of the above products, and the 47 Skin Silver Mask, which has been a hit with stars for helping them clear their skin. Love Island's Amber Davies has gone as far as to say she's 'probably its number one fan', telling the brand she uses it 'religiously'. For those seriously looking to invest in their routine, the 5-Step Sun-Proof Bundle stars these three products, as well as their daily moisturiser and their newly-launched Daily SPF30. The lightweight, fast-absorbing SPF is designed to protect from the sun and from breakouts. It's non-sticky, fragrance-free and provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays, infrared radiation and pollution. This bundle would usually set shoppers back £140, but as part of the deal, it's currently £126. Nip+Fab is known for its regime kits from £39.95, which cater to a number of skincare concerns. Similarly, Paula's Choice brought out a four-step routine for £42 that targets breakouts. It is worth noting that only 47 Skin have the iconic Silver Chitoderm in their products. Shoppers have been seriously impressed by the brand, with one user, Jo, leaving a glowing review, which read: 'I have used 47 Skin for about six months. This is the first summer that I have not had a breakout in hot weather (I'm 52)… and my complexion is generally smoother and fresher. Very happy with 47 Skin.' Another shopper wrote: 'Currently on my 3rd month of using it and got the SPF over the summer along with the extra strength serum to use on specific problem areas (usually just the odd spot irregularly around hormonal fluctuations). It is worth every penny to find something that works and brings confidence back into your life.' Some users have expressed frustration about the packaging, though. One wrote: 'Nice, feel on skin. Hard to get the complete product out of the bottle towards the end.' While a second added: 'The products themselves are great. However the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. My cleanser will not "pump" because the trigger doesn't work properly. This is the second time this has happened.' And it's not just women impressed, either. User Jason commented: 'I've just been using this product for 5 days and already my skin feels fresh with noticeably less irritation and redness. I've had no fresh breakouts for the 1st time in years.' While Lucy penned: 'My teenage son had a break-out over the summer holidays. He had countless little red spots covering his forehead and cheeks. I bought this, and within two weeks, his face is completely clear. I would definitely recommend'

JoJo Siwa addresses her sexuality amid shock new romance with Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa marked the start of 2025 Pride Month with a poignant message for her social media followers. Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, the 22-year-old former child star wrote, 'Happy day 1 of the happiest month. What I have learned over the last 22 years is that pride is all about love, acceptance and celebration.' She added, 'No matter who you are or what you are, you are you, you are beautiful, and you are perfect. Everyone's story is different and everyone's journey is different.' Siwa — who shocked fans when she started dating Celebrity Big Brother UK costar Chris Hughes, 32, in April — declared that the 'most beautiful thing' about love is 'that it's just love.' In conclusion, she wrote, 'Happy pride to the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community, to the allies, and to all that exist:).' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. While starring on season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK, JoJo shared, 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realized, "Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer." I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.' Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the former Dance Moms personality said she thought the statement wouldn't make it to television. 'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, "This will never see the light of day." I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical,' she told the outlet. She went on to reject putting her sexuality 'in a box.' 'Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community,' Siwa emphasized. 'I think that for me to be a woman and say I have a non-binary partner, but then also say I'm a lesbian is crazy. 'I just realized within myself that the way my eyes are to the world, I think I'm just queer. It has nothing to do with anything besides that. It's nothing to be ashamed of. The world is going crazy with that one though. It flabbergasts me.' Before launching her romance with Huges, JoJo was in a brief relationship with Australian content creator Kath Ebbs, who is non-binary. Their unceremonious breakup happened at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party in April. Back in 2022, Siwa was forced to defend herself after telling Yahoo! Life she doesn't like the word 'lesbian.' She took to TikTok to clarify her statement and address scrutiny from fans, stating, 'I never said that 'lesbian' was a dirty word.' In the interview with the publication the former Lifetime star said, 'I don't like the word itself. It's just like a lot. But I mean, at the end of the day, that's what I am.' She compared it to the word 'moist,' which some people don't like because of the way it sounds phonetically. 'It's like the word moist. It's just like… ugh!' she added, much to the dismay of some of her followers. She reiterated on TikTok, 'I never would say that it's a dirty word because it is not. It's not a bad word, it's not a slur, it's especially not a word that I am ashamed of saying or ashamed of identifying as by any means. The the blond dancer added, 'I don't hate the word lesbian. Whenever someone talks to me about my sexuality I just say that I'm gay.

Chloe Brockett shows ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham what he's missing as she puts on a VERY busty display in lace bra following their sixth split
made sure all eyes were on her as she showed off her very ample assets following her bitter split from her ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. The TOWIE beauty, 24, and former Love Island winner, 34, have had a tumultuous relationship over the years after first getting together in 2019, but last month the pair went their separate ways for a sixth time after a string of heated rows. Despite the blow, Chloe took to Instagram to show that she is getting on with her life without Jack by sharing a cheeky video of herself wearing nothing but a lace bra. In the clip, she could be seen opening a drawer, flashing a glimpse of herself clad in the plunging underwear, which highlighted her cleavage. The reality star styled the striking number with a full face of makeup and glamorous hair. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Later in the day, Chloe posted a slew of stunning snaps to her Instagram stories and appeared to be in good spirits as she tried to move on. Wearing a pastel yellow cardigan and blue jeans, Chloe posed in a sultry way down the camera, before heading to a flower market to buy herself a bouquet to brighten up her day. The sexy video and pictures come after Chloe revealed a devastating panic attack forced her to cancel a solo surgery trip abroad following her split. Taking to her Instagram Stories Chloe answered followers questions and while not divulging what surgery she had been planning, said she'd made it all the way to the airport before 'freaking out' and having to head home. She wrote: 'Guys you will not believe this... I got all the way to the airport and turned around! I freaked myself out,' 'I was going alone as all my friends are busy/working etc and I was saying oh I'll be brave and independent and had a panic attack at the airport! was nothing to do with the company just sometimes thing don't feel right and you have to go with your gut!'. Last week Chloe broke her silence on the split after Jack hinted that they had reunited for a seventh time, as he mysteriously uploaded a loved-up selfie of the couple to his Instagram Stories only to delete it moments later. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the social media post, Chloe said: 'I'm not sure why he posted that picture of me last night I'll be honest, but what I can say is when we were in Ibiza [where the picture was taken], it was a really beautiful time in our relationship and we were happy.' Jack recently said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good, and it appears Chloe feels the same, admitting: 'I'm sure he would like to go back to that time in our relationship, as would I to some extent. 'Obviously I'm focusing on moving out and things going on in my career and Jack is focusing on a lot of things going on in his. 'I wish him well and we'll always be involved in each other's lives to some extent, whether romantically or in a friendship way, but as of right now I'm focusing on myself.' 'I've seen a lot about us slamming each other, I can assure you that is definitely not what is going on. 'Me and Jack have been in each other's lives for a really long time, six nearly seven years now, and we tried living together and it didn't work for multiple reasons, not because of my OnlyFans at all.' It comes after Jack said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good but doesn't currently know what is going to happen. Jack and Chloe moved into their first home together in May 2024 and even created a joint Instagram account to share their home updates. The reality star has now explained that he has moved back in with his mum while Chloe has 'moved out into her own flat'. He told The Sun: 'Chloe and I haven't been in a great place. I'm living at my mum's and she has moved out of the house we lived in and into her own flat. I don't know what will happen between us. I still love her. I doubt it's over for good. 'We've been through a hell of a lot in the past couple of years. I didn't tell her about the bulimia, it is a hard thing to discuss with anybody. Even Mum doesn't know. 'I am a very open bloke. I cry, I wear my heart on my sleeve, but bulimia, for a bloke, I didn't think it was something I could discuss.' Chloe has also begun her new chapter in life as she revealed to her Instagram followers that she has the keys to her new place. Sharing a snap of herself opening the door to her new home, Chloe gushed: 'Today's a good day.. got the keys to my new place ✨.' It comes after Chloe took to her Instagram Stories last month to open up about living with a 'narcissist' for a year, although she didn't name anyone specifically. In now-deleted posts, she told her followers: 'I wasn't going to say anything but I'm going to say something. 'I think the scariest part about living with a narcissist is that they genuinely believe their own lies. 'So they genuinely believe the things they are saying and this version of themselves that they are presenting to the world is the true version because they see them day in and day out. 'I wasn't going to say anything but when you see this person just repeatedly projecting this absolute false version of themselves to the world. 'I had the pleasure of spending a year around this human that was nothing like the person they presented themselves. 'I just had to say something. I think narcissist are probably the most scariest people you can ever encounter in your whole entire life and just for so long I genuinely believed the lies that I was being told. 'I just woke up one day and was like "wow.. you're being lied to."' Chloe later took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that she had deleted the posts in question and said she would speak on the topic 'at a later date'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Jack for comment. It comes after Chloe announced she is once again single and wants to 'focus on myself', as they both prepared to move into separate homes. Last month, during a Q&A session with her Instagram followers, Chloe was asked if she was still in a relationship. She responded: 'No I'm not in a relationship anymore... just want to focus on myself and the things that make me happy.' When asked if she was moving in with Jack, she explained: 'No I am moving to Brentwood on my own... I can't wait to show you all my little place it's so pretty.' In another Instagram Story, she added: 'I wanna give myself a cuddle after the last year I've had... only way is up from here'.
