Davide opens up on Ekin-Su split as he dashes fans hopes of returning to Love Island

Love Island winner Davide Sanclimenti has dashed fans hopes that he could be returning to the show following his split from Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

The 28 year old confirmed he and Ekin-Su had split in a statement on Thursday 29 June, just 11 months after they won the ITV show.

Following the split, fans speculated that Davide could be on his way back to find love for a second time after he jetted off to Ibiza. But in a new statement released by the influencer on Sunday, 2 July, he has shut down those claims.

Davide told his followers: "This was a work trip with BoohooMan arranged months ago."

That statement comes just days after Davide posted a picture of himself getting out of the pool in Ibiza. He captioned that snap saying: "Guess who's coming back" with a cool emoji and an island emoji.

After addressing the Love Island rumours in the lengthy statement that was released today, Davide opened up about the split, admitting that there is "no perfect way to navigate a breakup."

He said: "Posting publicly about the break up was extremely difficult yet necessary, despite the urge to keep it private, and contrary to what Chinese whispers are saying I didn't blindside her as she was fully aware about my intention to post. And at first, she even agreed to post at the same time, she did change her mind last minute though.

"I respected her decision to not post it at the same time as me, but since the relationship has been on the rocks for months and parting ways has been a long time coming, I ultimately decided to go ahead with it rather than keep on dragging a situation that became unhealthy for both of us.


"This has been one of the hardest things I ever did in my life and there's no perfect way to navigate a breakup."

OK! has approached Ekin-Su's representatives for comment.

Later in the statement, Davide thanked everyone for their supportive and kind messages. He also vowed to continue being the "genuine, loving and fun" person he is.

Davide said: "Thank you for the many supportive and kind messages I've received and keep on receiving. I will keep being the genuine, loving and fun person I've always been and people have loved."

The post from Davide on Instagram has sparked huge support from his fellow Love Island stars. Dami Hope and Jacques O’Neill have shown their support for Davide in his comments section.

Actress Ekin-Su, 28, is yet to comment on the breakup with her last post on Instagram coming three days ago from Bodrum, Turkey.
