Davide Sanclimenti and Iris Au have celebrated their one-year anniversary -and he shared a sweet video montage with some of their best moments together in the past year
Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti has marked a huge milestone in his relationship with his girlfriend after his ex, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, revealed she is going through a tough time since splitting from Curtis Pritchard.
The 30-year-old Italian TV personality has celebrated his one-year anniversary with Iris Au, who is known as EyeRize online, and shared a sweet video montage of them to mark the occasion. The clip included some of the moments they enjoyed together over the past year, including dates and holidays.
‌
Davide can be seen giving his partner a huge bouquet of roses in the video, with another clip showing them kissing on the beach. He captioned the post "ONE," followed by a red heard emoji, adding: "Happy Anniversary."
‌
American Iris, who has two daughters - 10-year-old Paris and 11-year-old Pia - commented: "I love you so so much." Davide replied: "I love you baby." Davide, who has embarked on a new life in Los Angeles, went public with his romance with Iris in January.
On Valentine's Day, he declared his love for Iris in an Instagram post, writing: "Happy Valentine's Day to the most romantic woman I've ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a 'monthsary' is." Davide shot to fame after winning Love Island with his ex Ekin-Su in 2022 - but the pair had a tumultuous relationship and split the following year.
He then went on to meet Iris, while Ekin-Su dated dancer Curtis for three months this year after they appeared on Love Island: All Stars together and fell for each other. However, last week she said they have broken up as she shared the "tough decision" behind their split.
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."
