Love Island Ekin-Su and Curtis' true motive for split after 'tough decision'
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard have split up months after falling (and fighting) for each other on Love Island: All Stars
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard recently confirmed they went their separate ways after dating for only a few months. The two appeared on Love Island: All Stars together and quickly and intensely fell for each other, leaving fans baffled as they fought and made up (and made out) every few minutes.
Upon leaving the South African villa, the two appeared at a number of events and shared a few snaps of them posing together, but speculation soon started growing on whether they broke up as they failed to post any photos together online. And now, after weeks of concern, Ekin-Su confirmed they're now single as she shared the 'tough decision' behind their split in a statement.
Ekin-Su said they had decided to "go [their] separate ways" and that it had been a "tough decision".
Her statement read: "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. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months.
"We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su xX."
Although Ekin-Su didn't give a straightforward reason for their split, she had been the centre of drama between Curtis and MAFS star Georges Berthonneau in recent weeks.
The Married At First Sight star previously alleged he was in a relationship with the brunette beauty while she was dating Curtis. Speaking on Fubar Radio, Georges claimed: "On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument.
"She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone."
He added: "Everyone was like 'why are you saying it now?', because I loved the girl and I didn't want to let go of it. And my biggest thing was, why should I keep protecting someone who can't even apologise or take accountability."
He continued: "I even said to her on the phone, I was like 'are you not going to apologise?' You had sex with another man whilst I was at home. And you're not even going to apologise."
Curtis later broke his silence and told The Sun: "Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let's get in the ring. I've just been focusing on the camp. I haven't read anything or done anything, truthfully. And that's all that matters to me. I'm focusing on the camp, I'm focusing on having fun with Ekin and that's all that matters to me."

Rory McIlroy's star-studded line-up of neighbours in UK mansion after Masters win
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Following his Masters victory and the completion of his career grand slam, Rory McIlroy is set to move his family to London. The 36-year-old ended his major drought last month by securing the only major championship missing from his impressive resume, joining a select group of golfers who have won the career grand slam. This was a significant accomplishment for McIlroy, who celebrated the win by returning to his hometown of Holywood in Northern Ireland to visit his parents. However, before landing in Belfast, he, his wife Erica Stoll, and their daughter Poppy made a brief stop in London in their private jet to view the Surrey mansion they plan to move into. For several years, McIlroy and his family have lived in a grand home in Jupiter, Florida, a neighbourhood filled with ultra-wealthy golfers, actors, and business people, according to the Irish Mirror, reports Belfast Live. The sunny Florida weather undoubtedly complements McIlroy's golfing aspirations, as its climate and resources allow him to practice year-round. However, the five-time major champion has not kept secret his and his wife's desire to move to the UK, with the couple buying a property on the Wentworth Golf Club estate a few years ago. After reportedly spending over €10 million on renovations to the Surrey home, the McIlroys are now expected to move in next month. In doing so, they will join a long list of famous names who have chosen to live in an area known for its exclusivity. In the elite circles of golf, Rory McIlroy's new neighbours will include the likes of South African golfing hero Ernie Els and former Ryder Cup skipper Thomas Bjorn. Fellow Irishman Paul McGinley is just around the corner in Sunningdale, with ex-Ryder Cup leader Sam Torrance also in the vicinity. Golf rivalry and camaraderie are ripe in the area with Justin Rose, whom McIlroy triumphed over in a thrilling Masters playoff, also calling this prestigious neighbourhood home. Away from the fairways, former Chelsea mainstay John Terry, now turned golf enthusiast, resides near the Wentworth course, alongside former England cricket star Kevin Pietersen who shares a passion for the greens. Historical figures like Formula One's Eddie Jordan have been past locals, with Ukrainian football ace Andriy Shevchenko also previously settling in the area. Amongst the illustrious residents, McIlroy will count global power figures like the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah of Wentworth Estate, and Russian business magnate Petr Aven as neighbours, not to mention Tullow Oil founder Aidan Heavey who has stakes in the estate.

Wentworth's luxury and its prime location near London and international gateways have lured a diverse array of prominent personalities. Music industry giants such as Elton John and Cliff Richard have previously had residences there, while Wentworth Estate's notorious past includes hosting Chile's one-time ruler Augusto Pinochet, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and the renowned chat show host Michael Parkinson. However, life amongst such grandeur isn't without its downsides; Gary Numan confessed to Uncut music magazine in 2019 his worries about spectral presences, "I had a big neo-Georgian house on Wentworth golf course, but I was convinced it was haunted. "Some weird s*** had been going on – I'd come home and the house was in darkness when I was convinced I'd left the lights on. "So one day, I made a point of turning on every single light in the house. I got back from the studio and – f*** me – the house was in total darkness."

Rory McIlroy's mega famous list of neighbours at his new Surrey mansion as he moves back to UK
Rory McIlroy is set to relocate to the UK with his wife and daughter after finally ending his major drought with his Masters win last month and the family are set to have a lengthy list of famous neighbours. Fresh off his Masters triumph and achieving the career grand slam, Rory McIlroy is gearing up to move his family to London. The 36- year-old Irish man ended his long major drought last month by clinching the only major championship missing from his impressive resume, joining a select group of golfers who have won the career grand slam. This marked a significant milestone for McIlroy, who celebrated the victory by returning to his hometown of Holywood in Northern Ireland to visit his parents. However, before landing in Belfast, he, his wife Erica Stoll, and their daughter Poppy made a brief pit stop in London in their private jet to check out the Surrey mansion they plan to call home. For several years, McIlroy and his family have lived in a lavish residence in Jupiter, Florida, an area brimming with ultra-rich golfers, actors, and business tycoons. The sunny Florida weather undoubtedly suits McIlroy's golfing ambitions, as its climate and facilities allow him to practice year-round. However, the five-time major winner has not hidden his and his wife's desire to relocate to the UK, having bought a property on the Wentworth Golf Club estate a few years ago, Belfast Live reports. After reportedly splashing out over €10 million on refurbishments to the Surrey house, the McIlroys are now set to move in next month. In doing so, they will join a lengthy roster of famous faces who have opted to live in an area renowned for its exclusivity. In the elite circles of golf, McIlroy is set to rub shoulders with neighbours such as South African icon Ernie Els and ex-Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn. Fellow Irishman Paul McGinley has digs in nearby Sunningdale, joined by another Ryder Cup veteran, Sam Torrance. Justin Rose, whom McIlroy outplayed in a playoff to clinch the Masters, also calls this posh locale home. Ex-Chelsea captain and keen golfer John Terry is situated near Wentworth, along with former England cricketer and fellow golf enthusiast Kevin Pietersen. Previously, F1 legend Eddie Jordan and Ukrainian football star Andriy Shevchenko also had residences in the vicinity. McIlroy's notable future neighbours will include Wentworth Estate resident Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, and Russian tycoon Petr Aven. Tullow Oil's founding father Aidan Heavey also stakes claim to a property within the estate. The opulent Wentworth with its prime London access and proximity to international travel hubs has become a magnet for many diverse high-profile personalities. Music legends like Elton John and Cliff Richard have at times owned properties here. The estate has even housed figures such as the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and television royalty Michael Parkinson. However, the desire to stay in such affluent neighbourhoods isn't for all celebs, as singer Gary Numan shared with Uncut music magazine in 2019: "I had a big neo-Georgian house on Wentworth golf course, but I was convinced it was haunted. "Some weird s*** had been going on – I'd come home and the house was in darkness when I was convinced I'd left the lights on.

Eamonn Holmes and new girlfriend in cosy display after Ruth Langsford's major move
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Eamonn Holmes has been spotted looking quite cosy with his girlfriend, a mother of two, amidst the ongoing drama of his divorce. The television host and his partner Katie Alexander were seen enjoying each other's company during a day out. Katie, a marriage counsellor, shared snaps on her Instagram featuring herself and Eamonn as they ventured into the woods. In the photos posted by Katie, the couple are seen beaming at the camera while making the most of their time together. The pair appeared content as they struck poses for the camera, with Katie affectionately kissing Eamonn on the cheek. These new images emerge as Eamonn progresses through his divorce from Ruth Langsford. Reports suggest Ruth has engaged legal counsel to ensure Eamonn doesn't receive any portion of their £3.6 million property. Eamonn has since moved out of the opulent six-bedroom house in Weybridge, Surrey, where the couple resided since 2014. According to The Sun, Ruth has successfully obtained a severance of the joint tenancy concerning the house. This means that should anything happen to Ruth, her share of the home would no longer automatically go to Eamonn, reports the Mirror. (Image: Katie Alexander/Instagram) Sarah Dwight, a representative from the Law Society, explained to The Sun: "There are different ways to own a property. You can do so as joint tenants, which means it is 50/50 split. If one partner dies the other automatically inherits the other's share. This applies even if one partner has left their share to children from a previous relationship - the other partner would still get it. "One of the first things divorce lawyers do is to give their clients the option to sever the joint tenancy, so they can leave their share of the house to whoever they want. This move protects Ruth in that if she were to die, she can leave her wealth to whoever she wants, rather than Eamonn getting everything." The couple's romance began back in 1997, with Eamonn already a dad from a previous marriage. By 2002, Ruth had given birth to their son Jack, and the two married eight years later. Together, they gained popularity presenting ITV's This Morning, where their playful on-screen squabbles made them a hit with viewers. However, in May 2024, the pair stunned fans by announcing their separation. At that time, their joint statement confirmed: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
