Chloe Ferry and Sam Gowland split up over money rows.
The 23-year-old reality star took to her Instagram story on Friday (10.05.19) to announce the sad news, after less than two years together, and although she insisted they were still friends, pals have claimed that they broke up due to fights over money.
A source told The Sun Online: "Sam got jealous that Chloe’s career was taking off and his wasn’t quite as hot.
"They’d constantly row about work. He wanted to make as much money as he could and retire in two years time, so was constantly looking for ways to monetise their relationship.
"Chloe just got sick of it and ended it."
Chloe revealed the split on Instagram, saying: "It hurts me to say this but me and Sam have gone our separate ways. We are still friends."
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star started dating Sam, also 23, in October 2017 when he joined the MTV reality show after shooting to fame on that year’s series of ITV2 dating show ‘Love Island’ – where he had a brief fling with Georgia Harrison.
After love blossomed between Chloe and Sam onscreen, the lovers moved in together and even share a dog.
Chloe went on to explain that although she’s upset about the split, she won’t be cancelling any commitments and is still fully dedicated to the opening of her new beauty shop, CM House of Aesthetics, which launches Saturday (11.05.19).
She said: "Things carry on as normal. Bring on Saturday for the shop opening."
Last year, Chloe hinted at a break-up in a series of cryptic Twitter posts, sharing four consecutive emotionally distressed tweets about feeling "low" and needing to concentrate on herself which have led her followers to conclude she’s separated from Sam.
She posted: "When someone can leave you when your feeling so low about your self they are not worth it!! Sometimes in life you just need to take a step away and just think about your self … Crazy how everything can be so perfect and the next it’s all gone so quickly time for new starts in life (sic)"
