The pair, who went official last August, cooled things off a few weeks ago after they failed to see eye-to-eye on a few things.
A source said: " Liberty and Joshua made the tough decision to end their relationship.
"They had an amazing year together, especially in the early stages when they were attached at the hip and going on holidays.
"They loved getting to know each other, despite concerns from her friends that he was using her for fame.
"But once the honeymoon period was over, it was clear that they weren't a compatible match long-term.
"Liberty is focusing on her new business and only wants people around her that are truly supportive.
"It was fun while it lasted, but they both have different priorities and they couldn't make it work."
The Sun approached reps for comment.
Since the split, Liberty and Joshua have unfollowed each other on social media.
Joshua has wiped his Instagram grid of all of his photos with Liberty, but has continued to post snaps of him on nights out and DJ'ing.
Love Island's Liberty Poole hits back over claims about new boyfriend and reveals how she knows he's for real
Meanwhile, Liberty has been busy promoting her new swimwear range Uplifted The Label.
The star has taken to her TikTok to share videos about self love and body confidence.
It comes after pals of the star shared their concerns over her relationship with her new man.
At the time, they noted that he has been involved in various high-profile TV projects and they are worried about what his true intentions were.
A source previously told The Sun: "Liberty's pals are worried she's heading for more heartbreak.
"Her new man has been on reality shows in the past and clearly likes the spotlight.
"But Lib is smitten and has insisted he's not using her for fame.'
The insider also revealed that fans of her are worried that she might be heading for heartbreak yet again.
"She's one of the most popular contestants to come from the Love Island franchise, fresh off her All Stars appearance and is very in demand.
"She's been hurt by blokes in the past and the last thing she needs is to be hurt again."
Liberty shot to fame on Love Island 2021, where she famously walked away from the villa following her break up with ex-boyfriend Jake Cornish.
She later went on to compete in 2023's Spin Off show Love Island Games where she was once again reunited with Jake.
But after his exit, she started to explore a connection with Mitch Taylor.
However, she was eliminated from the island on Day 13 after failing to find anything romantic with him.

Love Island's Dejon breaks silence on ‘Surviving Dejon' book written by step-sister who branded him a ‘narcissist'
LOVE Island alum, Dejon Noel-Williams, says he plans to challenge a tell all book slate for release and penned by his sister who had labelled him a "narcissist." During his time in the villa on the ITV2 reality dating show, Dejon came under fire for his controversial behaviour and now his step-sister has added to the chorus of criticism. 4 His step-sister Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, has released a book named 'Surviving Dejon,' where she accused him "gaslighting" and "abusive." But Dejon has now broken his silence the ordeal and said Niah's book was full of "untruths" and he planned to take action. The footballer was dumped on day 56 of this year's Love Island, alongside his girlfriend, Meg Moore, whom he said knows him well despite what Niah had to say about him. "There's a lot of untruths and unfair stories that I am challenging at the moment, the most important thing is Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am," Dejon said during an interview on Capital X radio. Dejo then even gave a "shoutout" to previously dumped Islanders Andrada and Billykiss, who were quick to support him once he and Meg left the villa. "They told me, 'Dejon there's a lot of things being said about you, we know that's not you, we know that's not how you are as a person'," he revealed. "So shoutout to them they didn't need to do that." Prior to releasing her book, Niah had posted a series of scathing videos to TikTok where she tore shreds off Dejon's character. In the six minute video, Niah claims that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life, she began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably alot of backlash from my family for this. "You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable. Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' as he insists it's 'false' She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long." Niah also revealed in a later video that four family members had messaged her asking her to take her video down. "So, yeah, that clearly isn't a coincidence," Niah said speaking on the family messages: "At first, I did consider taking it down, but then I realised why would I take something down when I strongly believe in everything that I said."

I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park
Plus, free activities for the school summer holidays RIDE ON I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPOTTING the vintage helter skelter taking pride of place outside the new National Fairground Museum at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth, my little boy could hardly wait to give it a go. We were among the first visitors to be wowed by the heritage rides and attractions at the museum's grand opening at the start of half term, after its relocation from Dingles in Devon over the winter. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 The new National Fairground Museum is located at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 Many of the attractions inside the museum have been relocated from the now abandoned Dingles in Devon Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here It's a feast for your eyes and ears the moment you arrive at the purpose-built venue, with fairground artwork adorning the walls, a model of Popeye riding a rocket suspended from the ceiling and a hall of mirrors to give everyone a grin. We were even greeted by a fairground organ playing classics and modern tunes. Once inside, you could take a turn on all the old rides, including a ghost train, bumper cars, merry-go-round, Shaw's Moonrocket and Edwards' Chariot Racer. We loved the old arcade machines that cost 2p or 10p a go. I will warn you that the old rides take no prisoners - the bumper cars certainly go far faster than any modern-day dodgem I've driven! It's not the first time we've visited Statfold - we even celebrated my youngest's fourth birthday there as he's a huge railway fan. The new fairground museum sits perfectly on a site that already offers steam trains, vintage vehicles, soft play, climbing wall, roller disco and crazy golf. Being easily accessible in the middle of the country makes this the perfect spot for visitors to experience all the fun of the fair and more besides. We've had loads of great family days out at Statfold and it's been brilliant to see how it's evolved since we first started visiting when we moved nearby in 2021. Brand new adults playground opens in central London The train-themed playground on your way in is a hint of what's to come inside, but once you've prised your kids off the wooden play equipment, they're sure to be impressed by the roundhouse entrance hall, complete with turntable and vintage vehicles galore. Beyond is a cafe and exhibition space, with a soft play and climbing wall off to one side and a courtyard leading to the train platforms at the back. There's a bouncy castle and slide for children under 150cm and garden games. You can board a light railway taking visitors to a nearby woodland and then on to the fairground museum and nearby retro roller disco or enjoy a ride in an old carriage pulled by a steam train. 7 Lots of fairground art features on the walls and there is a vintage helter skelter Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 At the fairground museum, you can buy tokens to pay for the rides Credit: Catherine Lofthouse We bought a whole-site ticket which covered entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains. At the fairground museum, we bought tokens to pay for the rides, with most being three tokens per ride. The smaller children's rides were two tokens each. If you buy a ticket just for the fairground museum, it costs £5 per person, which includes three tokens. Extra tokens cost £1 each, or there are bundles like 12 tokens for £10. Family tickets to Statfold for two adults and two children cost £57.50 on peak days. 7 A whole-site ticket covers entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 There is also a family summer pass that costs £70 Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Extra tickets for the weekend roller disco or the climbing wall can be added on. There's also a family summer pass for £70, which covers unlimited visits from June until September. Not all the Dingles attractions have moved to the Midlands - some have gone to the Hollycombe Working Steam Museum in Hampshire. But with top theme park Drayton Manor and its Thomas Land area for train-mad tots only about 15 minutes away from Statfold, you could easily combine the two for a weekend full of funfair thrills and train rides galore. There is so much to get steamed up about at Statfold. We'll be rushing back there to ride the rails and enjoy all the fun of the fair in 2025. Free summer holiday activites You don't need to spend a penny to keep your kids entertained this summer... Museums - Some museums offer free entry to some exhibits, and also host events for kids. Parks - Head to your local park to enjoy the playgrounds, games areas, courts and splash pads. Some even have trails for kids to enjoy. Beach - It doesn't have to be sunny to enjoy the beach, you can go rock pooling, crabbing, make sandcastles, or enjoy a walk along the headland. Library - If the weather is awful, head indoors and borrow books, audiobooks, dvds. Cooking - Have your own mini bake-off, or Come Dine With Me challenge. Playdates - Invite friends over for an afternoon of socialising. Boardgames - Enjoy a little sibling rivalry with rounds of Monopoly or stretch your brain with Scrabble. The Sun's Cyann Fielding also recently headed to the new UK indoor playground where children are banned – it was like being back in primary school. Plus, an iconic UK theme park which suddenly closed as an attraction has been 'saved' – but is being forced to relocate across Britain.

Billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' ‘very classy' new £300,000 horse confirmed and Cheltenham Festival target decided
THE billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' 'very classy' new £300,000 horse has been confirmed. And her Cheltenham Festival target has already been decided. 1 The latest Horse Racing Ireland update showed Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud as the owner of Poetisa. Mullins and right-hand man Harold Kirk saw off Nicky Henderson to land the Cheltenham winner at the Goffs sales in May. Formerly trained by Toby Bulgin, Poetisa won a mares' bumper at the home of jumps in April. Sent off 20-1 under former champion jockey Brian Hughes, she stayed on well up the hill after meeting trouble to win by a neck. Poetisa commanded a price tag of £42,000 as a three-year-old but her value soared after the Cheltenham victory. And Mullins clearly liked what he saw, with her pedigree suggesting big things lie in store in the future. Poetisa is from the same family as multiple Grade 1-winning superstar Macs Joy. The Jessica Harrington-trained hurdler won over half a million quid from 31 career races, which included nine victories. And O'Leary will be hoping for something similar from his newly-acquired mare. Gigginstown House were also listed as the new owners of French import Mino Des Mottes, who it is thought is also in training with Mullins. But it's Poetisa who Kirk has big hopes for. And he had already decided her target for the Festival when splashing the cash a few months ago. The bloodstock expert said: "She's a Cheltenham winner already and she'll only improve. "She was very classy when she won. She's a lovely mare and hopefully she'll go down the mares' route over hurdles as there's a big programme for these mares now." Poetisa can be backed at 10-1 for the Mares Novices' Hurdle, with Mullins' Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever the 3-1 favourite. . Remember to gamble responsibly
