Malin Andersson breaks silence on split with baby Xaya’s dad and says ‘intense’ break-up ‘saved’ relationship
MALIN Andersson has broken the silence on her split with baby Xaya's dad Jared.
Last month the Love Island star, 29, revealed that the pair had gone their separate ways, just two weeks after they welcomed their first child together.
A month on from announcing the news, the mum has explained the reason why they decided to break up.
Malin told OK!: "There was a lot of pressure involved. Plus, he’s only ever really known me as hormonal Malin because I’d been pregnant pretty much ever since we’d first gotten together!
"I was relying on him so much that I feel like he lost himself a bit. It was best for both of us to take some months apart, so that’s what we did."
The pair are still working together to make sure that they are both there for their daughter - and she has high hopes for rekindling their romance.

She added: "We’re now co-parenting Xaya 50/50 and getting on a lot better having our situation like this at the moment – it saved us, in a weird way.
"But I can definitely see us getting back together at some point in the future when all the baby chaos has finally calmed."
Malin revealed that they had split on Instagram last month.
She told her 738k followers: "I have always prided myself on being open and transparent on here, so I wanted to let you all know that myself and Jared are no longer together.

"We split around four weeks ago and I have since been trying to come to terms with everything and process it all.
"We are co-parenting Xaya as she of course comes first in all of this, but we would appreciate some space as we navigate through this separation."
Malin added: "I don't want to go into any more detail at the moment, my baby girl is my main priority and I am building myself back up with what fuels my strength - friends, family, exercise and meditation.
"I didn't expect any of this to happen, I feel truly blindsided.. but as always, I trust that the universe has a plan for me."
Malin is also mum to to her daughter called Consy, who sadly passed away after she was born seven weeks premature.
